I wouldn’t be disappointed if we let Fusitua go to be honest. As someone posted before though, he’s not exactly blessed with a creative centre that will put him over for fun. As class as Newman is, he’s a very selfish player. Playing outside of a Keith Senior is a different matter entirely.

Getting a bit fed up of Fusitua, soft as $hit

I think you're being pretty harsh there - it's not his fault he's injured. If you want to take such a negative stance on players having bad injury runs there are others who have been far more unlucky, e.g. Newman, Walker etc.

It’s not uncommon for overseas signings to have poor first years due to injury/form

Look at Jai Field

He’s had a couple of bans and a new baby to contend with too hasn’t he?

I think when he’s played he’s gone very well, in fact I don’t think we beat Hudds the other week without his contribution out of the backfield.

Personally, I wouldn't pick Prior but we know he will be picked.

I would go with that 17 maybe swapping Prior for Walters or giving Gannon a rest who has taken some big hits over the last 2 or 3 games.

Yesterday he said he wasn't, today he's in the squad. Who knows?

Re: RD 27 | Castleford Tigers (H) : Thu Sep 01, 2022 1:09 pm  

I highly doubt we will rest anyone given it could potentially be the last game of the season.
