Castleford at home : Tue Jul 11, 2023 6:57 pm  

Home game to Cas this Saturday afternoon.

They're on the way to getting in to desperation terms. Although maybe we're getting them at the right time.

They're the out of form team in the league. Hopefully we'll have no trouble putting them away.

Shaul or Litten to replace Hoy?

Sutcliffe and Andre possibilities to return.

Does Smith draft in a youngster into the back row or move one of our three centres there (presuming Sutcliffe returns)? Or does he stick with Fash there?

I'm working so miss it. Hopefully it's quiet at work and I can sneak the radio on.

Think it will be a tough game, they are desperate and have a lot if Hull connections. But we should be winning this one still. I'd go with

Litten (but think it will be Shaul)
Mcintosh
Scott
Sutcliffe
Swift
Trueman
Clifford
Sao
Houghton
Taylor
Carlos
Savelio
Cator

Brown
Satae
Dywer
Lane

Rest Fash and give Brown a good run at prop.

Litten has to play full back for me, we need to be building for the future, Shaul will likely not be here next season.

Re: Castleford at home : Tue Jul 11, 2023 7:10 pm  

Think I’d go something like this.

1. Litten
2. Swift
3. Sutty (if fit)
4. Scott/ Carlos
5. McIntosh
6. Truey
7. Clifford
8. Fash
9. Houghton
10. Sao
11. Dre
12. Lane
13. Cator

14. Satae
15. Taylor
16. Staveley/ Carlos or scott
17. Dwyer

Dwyer earned his spot in derby as it was his best game for us.

Scott/Carlos is the most difficult selection issue

Totally agree, particularly with the amount of changes for next season.

Not only building for the future but I also think Litten is now a better fullback based on both their performances at fullback this season.

For me we have to be looking to the future so Litten over Shaul in place of Hoy. Think it’s time Staveley got a chance in the SR.
If McShane is still out for Cas do we go with Dwyer on the bench or try something a little different?


Litten
Swift
Sutcliffe (if fit)
Scott
McIntosh
Trueman
Clifford
Fash
Houghton
Sao
Carlos
Savelio
Cator

Satae
Taylor
Dwyer
Staveley

Is Savelio back?

I read he missed the derby as a precaution?

Hard to predict a team these days as it seems like every game someone misses out unexpectedly.

Good idea to rest him in hindsight, given we won at a canter anyway
