Castleford : Sun May 01, 2016 4:57 pm  

So our shot at Wembley falls on this match. Seems they will have a few bodies missing with the sort of team we played against the other month. We seemed to have picked up a few knocks so I'm not sure how bad they are, so if everyone is fine I'd go:

O'Brien
Carney
Sau
Griffin
Evalds
Lui
Dobson
Kopzcak
Lee
Griffin
Murdoch Masila
Jones
Flanagan

Tomkins
Huaraki
Walne
Krasniqi

Recent form suggests this will be a high-scoring fixture. Our defensive ploys have to make a stark improvement if we want to come away with the spoils. Our lapses in defense at present know doubt leaves us having to score 40 points or so to nullify our leakages.

I just hope the coaches watched the video of Cas last game and take note of the danger posed by Gales kicks to the corner for Monaghan to score.!

^ it's only took us half a season to utilise that tactic. Perhaps next week we might put 1 of the best wingers in SL on the wing. Who knows? Similar game to the other month , carney to fill his boots, Cas to battle to the end, gale like a headless chicken with no half back partner, dobson and lui to be slick, evalds to show up randomly, the majority of the 4000 crowd go home disappointed on a chilly overcast day. 27 camera shots of koukash, lui motm. Cas 28 36 salford. Winner plays leeds or Huddersfield at home in next round, also on bbc.

That sounds like one hell of an accumulator!

So with Josh out with a lengthy spell and Tomkins also missing. What will be the line-up? There's not been much noise regarding injuries, so I've no idea who's crooked apart from Griff. Vidot was pencilled in last weeks squad, only to be withdrawn at last minute. Does that mean he's ready a week later?
O'Brien
Carney,
Sa'u,
Jones,
Evalds./Vidot
Lui.
Dobson.
Kopzcak.
Lee.
Griffin.
Masila.
Hauraki.
Flanagan
Subs.
Wilkinson
Lannon.
Walne.
Walne.

Heard Vidot has been on the contact pads this week so by all accounts he's ready to go.

Well if that's the case seeing as though we're down to one hooker, might we see GOB being spelled at Fullback and Hooker with Niall filling in at Fullback when Lee needs a breather?

I don't really think they want to disrupt 1, 6 and 7 combination which has been superb this year. If Vidot does play then we'll probably spell Evalds on the bench with Lee. If not i'd hope to see Wilkinson get a go
