Hull FC - blackandwhites.co.uk • Hull v Saints 16th Feb

I thought lane struggled on Friday but it was his first game. He is good defensively but we lose a bit when he carries the ball compared to the likes of savelio and mau.

Assuming ellis is fit radford will play savelio and jones in the 2nd row and likely either start with fonua on the wing and carry an extra forward on the bench (my preferred option) or sit fonua on the bench and bring him on to move griffin into the 2nd row which we don't need IMO as both savelio and jones look like 80 minute players to me.

I expect we'll see johnstone on the bench again and houghton go to 13 which, again, reduces our go forward
