Newman will get a big defensive test at centre on Friday, he has a tendency to get drawn in and allow his centre on the outside.

That’s not a good trait v Cas left edge attack. Reckon he will be targeted

I wouldn't worry unduly.

Of course I would sooner have Golding covering FB goes without saying.
But how about Newman to FB with Tom Briscoe to centre and Luke Briscoe on the wing.
Tom played well there in a friendly and his defence is ok.
But if Hurrell is missing I would leave Newman and have Golding at FB.
Keep Sutcliffe in the SR.

This will be an interesting one to see if you have turned a corner or if catalans are as bad as everyone thinks. You only beat them by a similar score to what london did to them on their own patch a couple of weeks earlier so a difficult one to measure

Not really. Catalans are much better than London really. London got hammered by Cas. Friday whatever happens can not be measured to Sunday’s game. I would much rather be playing Hull KR, and Hull, before playing Cas. Then we could have been able to tell better if we have turned.

Hull are beter than cas but you'll beat us no matter how well we're playing. How many years is it since we won at headingley?

Liam Sutcliffe's only place in the team for me is reserve full back.

Give Alex Sutcliffe a game in the centres.

Walker ruled out so Golding is called up, if he gets his chance let’s see how he takes it.

Martin, Ava and Lunt in the squad I would go

Golding
Briscoe
Newman
Hurrell
Handley
Lui
Myler
Cuthbertson
Lunt
Ava
Sutcliffe
Martin
Merrin

Oledski
Dwyer
Donaldson
Singleton

Cas have a few out so maybe a good chance to sneak a rare win at the Jungle

They have no choice but to play Golding from that squad. We can't go with Sutcliffe again there.

I think Sutcliffe will be centre, I don’t think Hurrell will play
