Anyone with a slight knock.
We'd do the same.
So I expect we'll have another trip to France.
Not much in it between a trip to Hudds or Cats.
If we have a full strength side out we have a good chance in either.

Just a few hundred miles

Austin and Fusitua out for Cas and possibly beyond by the sounds. Let's hope the the likes of Smith, Donaldson and Thompson are in the reckoning. He seemed to indicate not, but he plays his cards close to his chest.

Had a fair few injuries this year those two... not good.

Not one of Agar's statement signings (Fusitua, Sezer, Bentley, and Austin) will have played 20 SL games. I think they are all good players but in terms if value for money it's a shocking statistic. Got to improve it next year.

What's up with Smith? Thumb or summat else?

Re: RD 27 | Castleford Tigers (H) : Wed Aug 31, 2022 6:34 pm  

Getting a bit fed up of Fusitua, soft as $hit

Re: RD 27 | Castleford Tigers (H) : Thu Sep 01, 2022 6:47 am  

While we generally look fitter as a squad I have to say Fusitu'a still looks a bit too heavy to me.

Re: RD 27 | Castleford Tigers (H) : Thu Sep 01, 2022 7:47 am  

Fusitua has not been a good signing so far, misses too many games and apart from a few good moments has been pretty average on the field, glad we are not paying his full wages, can see why we have signed Olpherts

Re: RD 27 | Castleford Tigers (H) : Thu Sep 01, 2022 8:19 am  

Olpherts has looked flaky since we were linked with him. Hopefully settle if/when he's in the blue and amber. As for Fus, it's hard to judge. His fitness is an obvious concern but on top of that none of his partners merit the winger's centre description.
