Lee Radford believes medical staff deserve credit for Hull success

Hull coach Lee Radford has admitted his side are riding their luck with recent injuries, but expects his fantastic medical staff to come through.
Radford's side are preparing for Friday's Super League top-two clash at Warrington and are expected to field a full strength squad in the crucial match-up.
Fringe centre Jack Logan, who has a minor hamstring strain, is the only player unavailable to Radford, who must decide whether to bring back second rower Frank Pritchard and prop Liam Watts after they sat out last Friday's win over Widnes.
Stand-off Leon Pryce and winger Curtis Naughton are others hoping for recalls as Hull look to complete the double over the Wolves and open up a four-point lead at the top of the table with five rounds left before the split for the Super 8s.
"We've a very healthy squad," Radford said. "Getting a team out on Friday that we feel is best suited to play Warrington, there are going to be some tough decisions for us.
"There's not a great deal in it and there will be five or six players not participating this week not having done a great deal wrong.
"It's a great position to be in and I keep praising our medical staff who have done a fantastic job. To be where we are at this moment in time is really pleasing, especially compared to previous years.
"In the Eights last year we had 14 blokes out. and we had to register two young kids at Wigan. We've done it tough in the past but hopefully we've learned from some of our mistakes and had some luck as well."
