Any body got any info regarding the ticket sales. We got ours yesterday but forgot to enquire about general sales.

Keys for us is completing sets, no penalties, keep the errors down

Interesting point that and one that is probably creeping under the radar a bit....here's a league table of combined errors and penalties conceded...

Castleford - 139
Wakefield - 144
Widnes - 151
Wigan - 154
Catalans - 154
Hull - 159
Salford - 160
Leeds - 161
Saints - 163
Huddersfield - 174
Warrington - 174
Leigh - 201

Maybe Widnes are a bit of a surprise in that but I think it shows, especially for us a huge improvement, as I'm sure in previous seasons we'd always be one of the teams making more errors and conceding more penalties than most teams....we're actually bottom on errors! We're also 3rd best in the league on missed tackles too...another huge improvement... It shows that if you start at the basics and get them right you've half a chance!

Just as an FYI, the match at Cas is probably going to be an all-ticket entry, so i'd buy them in the next few days to avoid missing out.

Really good numbers those. I think the biggest problem we had defensively last year was having the worst discipline in the league. It's a lot easier to defend when you're not giving them set after set on your own line.

If I were picking a team from both squads

Hardaker, but he's playing no better than Grix so either or
BJB, all wingers are scoring well but BJB has created more for himself
Tupou
Shenton
Johnstone
Roberts
Gale
Sene Lafao
McShane
Huby/England
McMeekin
Ashurst
Arona

Miller
Moors
Millington
Fifita

Webster is our best Centre at moment. Playing like the Webster of a few year back.

Gunna be a real corker this. Could go eitherway. Many are expecting us to win on Friday but Wakey always come down lane and put up a good performance. Can see less than 10 being in it eitherway. Packed house so lets hope for some glorious sunshine for you to enjoy at the railway end.

Wouldn't even have Tupou in the Wakefield team if Lyne and Arundel were fit so definitely wouldn't get in if we're including Cas players as well. Whilst Grix has been good for us, Hardaker is much better than him too.

Now....where do we build the stadium

Re: Team for the bank holiday games : Tue Apr 11, 2017 4:07 pm  

Aslong as we give it a good shot and don't let ourselves down, no one is expecting us to win but it's a derby and it would be good to get a result.
