Colin, how did they do?
Did Jake get a game, I know you said he is carrying an injury.
Why was Dom Horn released?
We had a conversation earlier this season about Danny Fletcher, man of the match a few weeks ago for Batley, is he another who his slipped through our net?

Danny Fleming, John. As far as I'm aware he's contracted to Cas but plays at Batley. IIRC he made his senior Welsh international debut before playing a full SL game or something like that. He was on Fax's books a couple of years ago for a couple of years, looking at his progress he's probably just a late developer, certainly physically, he's a big lad nowadays. He certainly had a bright future and his talent is un-questionable when he was at KXP in their junior system & best of luck to the kid. All this "slipped through the net" always baffles me, there's lads in every club throughout the country from out of town as we call it. If a coach of a team doesn't like an individuals contribution, wage packet, attitude or whatever he'll just allow him to move on somewhere else, some other coach will come along & see if he can mould a bloke into something he wants, it's no real drama with me nowadays.
I did smile the other week when Ryan Rocky Hampshire debuted for Wigan on tv at Widnes, he's been at Wigan for a few years although still only 18 but he's most definately a Normanton kid, how must Cas, Fev, & Wakey feel about him slipping the net ? Still, he'll always be remembered as one of Shaun Wane's youngsters of 2013....
If they hadn't so many injuries, would he have got a go so soon though ? Albeit, he's been an international for the last 2 or 3 years at academy level.
Jake got on at about 20mins mark, played dummy half, scored a try continued there until HT. Played the whole of the 2nd half at stand off & went very well as did the rest of the Fax lads. He's unavailable tonight for the reserves with an ongoing injury that is being treat by the club.
Dom Horn is currently training with Siddal open age & ex-Fax forward Richard Mervill ( you might have seen him in the gym we both use ) also turned out for them on saturday.
