I would suggest that given performances this year, there are a significant amount of cas players who are better than the Warrington equivalents.
Shelton, Carney, Gale, Millington, Lynch, Holmes would easily get into your 17, as might the likes of Massey, Springer, McMeekan and Junior Moors.
I personally don't see the excitement about Ratchford, but I think Myler, Westwood, Sims, Hill and Clarke would get into the Cas team. I also think Sandow will be a fantastic player for you, but he needs time to settle and get to know the team.
Put the two teams together and take the best from each one and we might stand a chance.

i agree with pretty much everything you have said there... i also don't see what the big deal is with ratchford... at FB he looks disinterested, in the halves he looks lost.. he is to lightweight to be a 13.. His best position is probably in the Centre... Jack of all trades, master of none... If you go back to the team we had 4 years ago, he wouldn't have got a game.

There was an article on the Guardian web page saying Joel is expected to be Lineham's centre next season. As for Notts Tiger's comments,i think why Cas are doing well is because they have a coach who can motivate & get the best from his players. There was a major alarm sound last year when Clark & Sneyd left, but Powell hasn't let that get in his way.

The post was actually not by The Speculator (me) but by Speculator (someone else). Perhaps you should learn to read better?

Perhaps I should, but I can see the word "the" before it though, did you miss it? I was edging my bets and made it lower case.

Cas are above Wire in the league for a reason. We have a few excellent players who'd get in any team. We also have some very poor players. Overall you're a better team than us. For sure. (Although I don't think you played well last night).

I'm not a fan of Ratchford at FB, I don't think he's good enough defensively (would he have put Carney into touch like Russell did a few weeks ago?) and he isn't intense enough in his running off the line. His best game for us this season was at Centre against Wigan!

Or shows that some supporters feel that we have a right to be successful and if we are not then it's due to a lack of effort. How about you stop wingeing till the off season, it's like a broken record.

Didn't realise I had someone else's username! Will ask for a different one.
No problem with speculation it's the whingeing that I find tedious. As for any criticism of me by Rubber Duckie...I wear that badge with pride.
