Squad list:

Mathers, Eden, Thompson, Arundel, Blackmore, Milner, Chase, Walker, Hudson, Emmitt, Harris, Davies, O Holmes, Smith, Clark, D Holmes, Orange, Picketts, Brierley, Thompson, Johnson, Siddons

Great mix of new faces and youth there, I'd expect a decent turnout.

I expect it to be cancelled, the forecast isnt getting any better, so its not worth potential injuries

You just want to spend more time in the pub.



I hope it's on. Need a rugby fix and that's a decent squad.

True, but i will have the Cas V Wigan Regal Trophy on in the bar after the game

Ray French or Morgy commentary?

I have never heard the Morgy version of that! I bet it's a classic.

Oh yes.

Classic line just before half time: "I'll have to get some cough spice... me throat's going. It'll be right then I can't spake because I can't spake."

The bloke's my hero.

Forecast is for it to continue being around freezing during the day and well below over night so can't see any way the pitch won't be rock solid on boxing day!

We all know what happened the last time Cas played on a frozen pitch - Richie Owen out for a season with a broken leg!

Compared to
Bulls team to face Castleford: Vinny Finigan; Shaun Ainscough, Jason Crookes, Patrick Ah Van, Rob Hawthorne; Danny Addy, Cain Southernwood; Craig Kopczak, Adam O’Brien, Tom Burgess, Ian Sibbit, Elliott Whitehead, Liam Mackay. Interchange: Callum Windley, Liam McAvoy, John Bateman, Jobe Murphy, Tom Lillycrop, Matt Bailey.

Rangi should run riot! I hope Brierley gets a good run out.

I really hope the game goes ahead or if it's off is played either on the Monday and Tuesday.

How is the ground looking at the moment?

Like Torvill and Dean are about to come out of the tunnel. Its pretty superficial though. Just frost, no snow.
