Squad for Sunday:
Mitch Allgood
Tinirau Arona
Joe Arundel
Matty Ashurst
James Batchelor
Mason Caton-Brown
Jordan Crowther
Liam Finn
Scott Grix
Keegan Hirst
Craig Huby
Tom Johnstone
Ben Jones-Bishop
Danny Kirmond
Reece Lyne
Jacob Miller
Mikey Sio
Bill Tupou
Anthony Walker
Sam Williams
Kyle Wood

Pretty strong team there.

Our friends on the Cas forum think they are going to win easily. I think it will be a good measure for us. It will show where we are in preparation as we beat Leeds last year but Cas still hammered us.
Let's see what preseason and new signings have done for us.

I'd be happy with that
I'd probably swap Arundel for Tupou and MCB for BJB at half-time as I think they are the positions that are still a bit up in the air.

Cas friendly? No such thing. Hopefully with JK back we'll have some fire in our bellies this time and rip their spleens out.

Not so sure about that after seeing both squads.

You appear to only have 1 or 2 kids playing compared to our 9. We are also playing without 10 first teamers:
Hardaker
Shenton
Chase
Millington
Milner
Mcmeeken
Holmes
Jesse Sene-Lefao
Massey
Patrick

Have you guys got any first teamers missing?

Should be a good game and a stern test for us with you being 10 point favorites in my eyes.

Re: Cas friendly : Fri Jan 13, 2017 4:18 pm  

Fafita is still out, not sure on others.

Re: Cas friendly : Fri Jan 13, 2017 4:31 pm  

Jowitt missing too still.

Re: Cas friendly : Fri Jan 13, 2017 5:14 pm  

Fwiw I fancy Wakefield to win by 12-18 points. Think it's an experimental Cas side , think we will go full throttle for the Saints game. Wakefield won't be mugs this year and I fancy you to be better then last year and more consistent too.

Re: Cas friendly : Fri Jan 13, 2017 5:34 pm  

Gibson also missing

It's ok saying these first teamers are missing but if they are that important, where are you playing
Eden
Monaghan
Webster
Minikin
Roberts
Gale
Maher
McShane
Lynch
Cook
Springer
Moors

Surely they are all first teamers as well. You can only play 17.
