I really think Cas have a big edge over us in the pack. Moors, McMeeken, Millington and Watts all have size and mobility, the rest contribute plenty too. They are so good that they have a little fat waster with a heart as big as a pea playing behind them being pushed forward as a potential Man of Steel.

Yes and you got the legend Scott Moore.
Not sure what your gripe is with McShane but he has been immense at Cas and fully warrants the praise he gets.

Without Fifita and Hirst we are only going to have Huby and England in the squad that are out and out props. Obviously we have Pauli as well who has been playing in the second row and doesn't always play big minutes.

Not a massive issue as we have Horo, Batch Arona etc just think Cas have a bigger pack than us, we'll need to make sure we utilise our wingers and centres well and play the game out wide where possible.

Don't have any stats but I would say Pauli Pauli plays big minutes almost every time he plays.

I've seen weakened Trinity teams in the past overcome all the odds and beat full strength rivals. I've seen Trinity teams with decimated packs (and in the days of contested scrums) overcome the odds and cause an upset.
No doubt we're up against it with the players we have out but in my opinion we'd be second favourites with a full team!
It all depends how much the Trinity players want the win and if the game plan is good enough.

Mcshane isn't 'fat'. Why do people refer to people with a ' thick set build as fat?
As I have done, will probably really struggle with weight when he gives up playing though.

No they don't have a bigger pack than us, really don't know where your getting this from - Huby, PP and England add enough size to match Cas as do the rest. If Cas over power our pack it's simple because they are better not bigger IMO.

Apparently England is not playing due to needing ankle surgery, although he was named in the 19.

Our gripe is that he was a fat lazy turd who only put a shift in when he could smell the burger van close by.

Didn't bend his back when we were really up against it in 2015. One of the few in the squad with any quality and he couldn't be bothered - simple as that. Too good for the fight

I remember his forward passes that he might have got away with wearing a Leeds shirt but he didn’t have a prayer in the red, white n blue.
