I'm not so sure what Randall has done so wrong, him & Fisher mixing at 9 with Lee at 13 would be worth persisting with in my eyes.

Dunno about anyone else but for me it's the difference you can see when Randall goes off. The replacement (Rinaldi last season, Fisher now) looks to have more zip about them,and the team as a consequence seem to go up a gear or two and look more like they'll make something happen. The first few seasons he was here I thought he did really well but Chad Randall is a shadow of that player now. I'd like to see (perhaps in our first CC game?) the U19s hooker get a go, see what he's about.

Have you seen the U19s hooker play? I dont know who he is but at that age he probably doesn't have the physique for the tackling a hooker has to do. I reckon Channing would do a great job at hooker going forward. He's a zippy player with great commitment but again tackling is a weakness.

Sadly there's a lot of it about! Especially in our first team!

Talking of Cas I found myself at a loose end in Leyton today so I wandered into Sports Direct & found several Tigers shirts on display.

No doubt this is a reciprocal arrangement & the Castleford branch is stocked with Broncos gear.

Disciplinary may do us some favours. Two Cas players up tonight.
EDIT: Update - Hauraki out: Carney still awaiting judgement.

Mind you, HKR didn't seem to miss Josh Hodgson last Sat even though Withers was injured so they had to play their third choice hooker.

Carney also out. Though Tickle gets only one match so he'll be available to play against us.

Super League ‏@SuperLeague

Disciplinary: Weller Hauraki (1 game) Justin Carney (2 games) and Danny Tickle (1 game) all suspended after submitting EGPs this morning.

Though we have 2 players suspended, carney and hauraki.
We have 2 back, webster and gilmour.
Doubt it will be a classic, both teams want to get back on track.
Looking for a cas win hopefully, but knowing cas anything could happen.

See ya there.

Match officials now confirmed on RFL website.

Provided that any one of your players can kick the ball up in the air, you should find it pretty easy.

Last year I spotted Castleford gear in the Lillywhites/Sports Direct on Piccadilly Circus, alongside Salford shirts and maybe one other.
