I can see some value in replacing Fox with Mellars - stick him in front of Carney, who runs like a wrecking ball, to negate some of that threat.

Judging by the HKR game, Cas don't have a kicking game, so I don't think the high ball will be as much of an issue, but you need to get a body in front of Carney to stop him rampaging down that wing.

I agree about the kicking game. In some ways I'd rather they try as a poor kick will play in to our hands a little and will mean Chase isn't running.
I guess we'll see.

Have Cas named their team yet. I'd be interested to see if Webster is playing. He'll cause as many problems as Carney. Need to cut off the supply as much as stop them.

I'd pick Lynne and Annakin over Mellars and Fox for no other reason than they are playing better rugby!

Not necessarily sticking up for Wilkes who has not been his best this season, but he was the 2nd biggest metre maker against salford and biggest against Saints.

Thought Wilkes had a decent game vs Saints, especially if Raleigh not playing (not sure if he is definite) I think we'll use him more then Mellars. Wonder where Mario is??

Wilkes gives away too many pens and isn't great defensively for me. Mellars put in a great shift at saints and annakin can't be dropped on form but maybe could benefit from a rest. Tough decisions for mr agar this week

Tough decisions for mr agar this week Three according to http://www.superleague.co.uk/stats/playerstats which is nowt compared with Justin Poore or Kirmo. He seems to be more error prone this season or he's having a dip in form.

On that note - it infuriates me when opposition players stand back and let him crab across the line looking for an opportunity; someone needs to take responsibility on Friday - step up and smash the living daylights out of him. I'd nominate Aiton - his tackle technique is positively brutal.

That I would love to see, see how much of a tough guy he is then instead of when he's sneakily niggling someone or hitting them high
