Fusitua - Injured
Newman - Injured
MacDonald - ban?
Handley - injury doubt?
Austin - injured
Sezer - injured
Oledzki - injury doubt?
Bentley - injury doubt?
Lisone - injured
McDonnell - ban?
Gannon - injured
Warren - injured
Simpson - injured
Sinfield - injury doubt

Doesn’t look great if we don’t have a few bodies back. Hopefully Handley, Austin, Oledzki, Bentley, Sinfield are all ok and MacDonald, McDonnell don’t get a ban

Austin definitely misses next week according to RS.

Mc Donnell wins his appeal wow! Never saw that coming after all the fruitless previous appeals, Well the magic weekend should give a chance to some of the younger squad members, If young `Sinfield is good to go he make get a run of matches together!

Olpherts wasn’t training with the team tonight at the open day. Nene on one wing with Roberts in the centre. Tindall and Martin on the other side. Obviously could be any reason for that but he was noticeably absent.

Looks like we will line up with Myler and Johnson in the halves with Handley at fullback. Sinfield was also back in full training, Bentley was there but his knee was heavily strapped.

For what it’s worth Johnson looked decent in the halves last week but our kicking game will obviously suffer. I’d personally start with Johnson and have Sinfield on the bench - it would give us a bit more flexibility with regards injuries in the backs but also I feel Sinfield needs some minutes in Super League before the season is out.

A huge opportunity for Cas to do the double over us with the players we have missing at the weekend. Going to be a big ask for us to win this as Cas always raise their game.

Looks like a weakened side - that side - with the correct game strategy - should still be capable of beating Cas. Cas would be relegated if Wakey were not so bad.

Should be capable, true. But for whatever reason we've done far better in the role of underdog than we have when expected to win. Nail that and all of a sudden we're a decent side.

Austins is in the squad which would be a huge boost.
