I just worry a bit about versatility with no Ratchford & Currie in the starting 13.

Maybe a bench of Dwyer, Crosby, Hill and Livett would work well?

I think Hilly must be close. A few weeks ago TS said Hilly was targeting the Catalans game whist Tony thought Brisbane more likely. So on that basis barring any set backs Chris must be close. And yes I would include Crosby with Joe Philbin to dropping out

Spoke to C. Hill last thursday he told me 4/5 weeks yet.

That is a big blow. Was hoping he would get a run out vs Salford to be up and running for the pies.

I'd be more comfortable with that, although only if TS is confident Livett can come on and give us 15 mins or so to spell Westerman / Hughes / Savelio. I don't want him using up a bench spot for the sake of it. I'd rather put Blythe there if that was the case.

Cas sold 1,000 so far and getting more delivered to them. It's going to be a belting atmosphere under the lights

Hill not in the squad so I'd add Westwood in for him. I'd keep Livett in there as otherwise we've no pace if we lose a back without Currie.

Re: Cas Game : Wed Feb 22, 2017 1:55 pm  

For me it has to be:

Gidley
Lineham
Atkins
Evans
Russell
Brown
Patton
Cooper
Clark
Sims
Savelio
Hughes
Westerman

Bench:
Crosby
Westwood
Livett
Dwyer

Pretty fair squad

Quick question? For Fantasy RL (work) purposes, how long is Currie out for?

Re: Cas Game : Wed Feb 22, 2017 2:27 pm  

I think that would be my guess as to TS's intentions as well. Philbin was backup for Crosby last week, and Livett can cover in the backline as well as BR if required, plus he needs a run of games to see if he can step up. I think he only came on 2 minutes from the end last week when Coops went off.

Blythe and Phibs to miss out

The last update in November '16 was that he would be back in June.
