Morning fellas. Hope a few of you can make it over on Sunday for what should be a close match. We've been preety decent at home recently and the margin of Wire's win at our place the other week flattered them slightly. Weather is set fair so hopefully it will encourage both teams to throw the ball about and make for an entertaining game. We're still missing our best prop Cashmere but hopefully Dan Holdsworth will make it back from injury in time for the game.

I'll be honest and admit I 've only seen highlights of Cas on Sky this season so I'm not best placed to comment on your current team. Who do we need to be worried about this weekend?

Rangi Chase is our danger man really mate.

To be fair to TM, Hudson can't do the full 80 and so Wood is the obvious choice to fill in at hooker.
Pairing Wood/Chase is good until Hudson needs a rest which then means using someone like Jones to fill in at Hooker. To me that's as bad as Widders at stand off so it doesn't make much difference.

An alternative thing in my view is move Westerman to stand off and pair with chase when Hudson is off and move Wood to hooker. You can then use Jones, Ferres, Snitch or Widders to cover at 13. As long as you can tackle well, you can make a half decent show of covering at 13. Hooker is one of the few specialised positions that you shouldnt mess with. You need someone who can distribute at all times or you will go nowhere.

Maybe we shouldn't have sent Netherton out on loan? Now there is a crazy idea.

I said the same thing on tuesday night. Lets face it though whichever way you look at it we need another half. Netherton is ok, but to suceed, ok players need to be versitile. Only SL standard players can get away with playing only 1 position in SL.

Bench: Ferres, Wood, Jones, Sargent.

I've been a big fan of jordan thompson, but he let far too many balls bounce that he could have taken on the full (about 8 as i recall) and you cant do that at fullback. I wonder why the fans that slagged off mcgoldrick for not taking balls on the full (a couple of times a game) havent even mentioned it. Fortunatly for thompson he made up for it in a big way with the ball and all tackle near the end that saved a certain try. Hopefully he will be back on form on sunday as thats the first bad game he's had.


My team for what its worth (assuming evans still crocked and no new injuries apart from shenny)

1 goldy
2wainwright
3 thompson
4 arundel
5 dixon
6 widders
7 chase
8 huby
9hudson
10 jackson
11 ferres

for me Goldie on the bench and then bring him on in 2 stand off and then you could move chase or wood in to hooker for cover.

Change of plan already, i'm not going now. Double time convinced me to spend a day at work instead.

Id take that think would offer another dimension with goldy of the bench think we really need wood at 7 he takes the line on well and organises things then frees rangi up t play off the cuff. Also give walker a game he cant do any worse than sarge and least were brining walker through then
