That trip to Lourdes must have worked wonders for Fifita and Lyne!!

I don't know exactly how busted Cas are because no one ever mentions it - but regardless of that, they are where they are in the table for a reason, and given all the casualties we've racked up, we'll be hard pressed to get over them. Cas win for me - sadly.

I reckon we have probably more injured now. Think it's 8 unavailable. To lose both halfbacks in the same game is unbelievable! To be fair they are missing both their first choice halves, and have been all season. Millington is a big loss for them. I think the forwards are quite evenly matched, depends whether Woody lasts the full 80, or how long he and Lynne last given they can't be completely right. If we match them up front, then can Rocky and Reynolds cause them enough problems, and control the game?? At least we have cover and back up this season, and Reynolds is a decent goal kicker.....

Fifita wasn't injured, but the attempt was made. Good effort but no cigar.

MCB not being in the squad could change but I'd be ok with Lyne on the wing with Horo inside him.

Re: Cas : Tue Apr 16, 2019 1:13 pm  

Team not looking too bad now assuming all 19 named are fit to play

Jowitt
MCB
Arundel
Lynne
BJB
Hampshire
Reynolds
Fifita
Wood
Kopcak
Ashurst
Kirmond
Arona

Subs Crowther ( cover for Wood )
Horo (cover for Lynne )
Pauli
King

Expect Annakin and Hurst will definitely play Monday

Re: Cas : Tue Apr 16, 2019 1:15 pm  

Must be the 1st Cas game for a while where Fifita is named in the squad. He usually just surprises everyone (not) when he runs out pre match.

Re: Cas : Tue Apr 16, 2019 3:05 pm  

WE look a whole lot stronger than most expected after the Wigan game and with Cas also short on pivots, we may still have a chance here.
Despite our injuries, Trinity will go into the game with confidence, having won 3 on the bounce and with Cas having lost 3 from their last 4, with only a "lucky" win against Wigan to show for their recent efforts, hopefully their confidence will be pretty low.

Actually looking forward to it now.

Come on Trin !

Just a shame Brough and Miller are out, but time for Reynolds and Jowitt to grasp the opportunities in their respective positions.
