That's maybe a reason to pick Roberts anyway? I know I'm banging on about him, but I really prefer to see threequarters in the threequarters rather than stuff a forward in there.

I dont see the point if he's not going to play long minutes.Martin if he starts can move to back row when replaced by Newman.

Agreed. I'd like to see:
Myler
Olpherts
McDonald
Martin
Fusitu'a
Austin
Sezer
Tet
O'Connor
Holdroyd
McDonnell
Bentley
Smith

Newman
Walters
Lisone
Sangare.

Think we'll need to dominate down the middle on what will likely be a greasy surface.

3 props on bench?

I think we'll put a score on them tomorrow. From speaking to Cas mates, the team is as bad as they've seen and struggle to put 10 minutes of decent rugby in each week. I hope we smash them

Yep, given that Bentley is well capable of covering hooker and we can also move Martyn into the 2nd row. Just my opinion.

I'd agree but think we'll see Leeming on the bench

Re: SL RD 5 | Castleford Tigers (A) : Thu Mar 16, 2023 3:58 pm  

Cas will be well up for it tonight. I’ll be happy with any kind of win.

Interesting reports around Leeming

Re: SL RD 5 | Castleford Tigers (A) : Thu Mar 16, 2023 6:46 pm  

Leeming dropped and not just from tonights squad if rumours ate correct.

Basically he`s spit his dummy out cos he thinks he should be the starting 9 and even though fit to play against Wakefield he was not selected.
Good on the club for sticking to their principles.
Although the club are looking for a replacement does that mean they don`t see Johnson capable of filling the void?
