Appealing apparently. They'll need a top QC to get him off. Cas squad without Shenton, Trueman and Watts but they do have a lot fit and rested. If we get a win we'll have done very well.

I have heard that the club are appealing on the context of other bans for much worse getting a two match suspension. I personally think they have a point with that and won’t be surprised if it is reduced to one. I can see this becoming the norm as an automatic one match suspension.

Really would like to see Smith starting this one, on the basis of his performances but also as Mik is missing from the rotation and we seem to have enough grunt down the middle but Smith adds more dynamism so we're not one dimensional. Missing Gale as a pair of hands also another reason.

We should have been starting Smith weeks ago so we could rotate 4 props and rest one.

Yeah agreed mate. We must start Smith for this game and push Tet into rotation with the props. I'd be playing Vuniyayawa there too, he should be fresh.

Losing Mik is a real blow for our hopes of getting into play offs and doing anything this year IMO. We'll need to be smart to compensate for him.

Spot on Jim.
Tet should be in the prop rotation - and not just left on until he can hardly breathe...
King should be given minutes.
And Smith should be 13.

Said since he came that Zanes best impact would be as an out and out prop.

Re: RD 18 | Castleford Tigers (H) : Wed Aug 04, 2021 4:52 pm  

Start prior and Holroyd bring zane and King off the bench.

Re: RD 18 | Castleford Tigers (H) : Wed Aug 04, 2021 5:08 pm  

I'd go for something like this

Myler
T.Briscoe
Hurrell
Newman
Handley
Lui
L.Sutcliffe
Tetevano
Leeming
Prior
Thompson
Martin
Smith

Subs
Dwyer
Holroyd
Vuniyayawa
Donaldson

I would be tempted to rest/ drop T.Briscoe played a lot of rugby thus year and his brain fart in last 5 mins against wire is worthy of him sitting out for a week and out L.Briscoe on wing.
