Re: 19 for Castleford : Wed Mar 28, 2018 8:11 pm
Thought CC's post match interview made interesting listening in regards to the 19 man squad...Started off by saying Kirmo and Big Dave miss out through injury but with what he went on to say after it makes me wonder whether there will be a spot for Big Dave?
He mentioned bringing Joe Arundel in because there were initial thoughts that BJB and Bill picked up knocks but said both were ok to play...he then went on to say both Joe and MCB will play on Monday along with a few others and that Rocky Hampshire will play in the halves....to me that says JA and MCB miss out on the 17 for tomorrow so the backs should line up like this..
Grix
Johnstone
Tupou
Lyne
BJB
Miller
Finn
He also spoke of Randell and that he will start nine and said Woody will be on the bench...with that in mind I dont see a spot for Rocky on the bench...what would be the point in that? So that's 3 of the original 19 man squad out...does that pave the way for Dave to come in and play? He said his problem was a groin that 's been an ongoing problem and has been having injections....given that he's had the week off do we go all out to beat Cas tomorrow night and risk him?
Would leave the rest of the team something like...
England
Randell
Huby
Ashurst
Horo
Arona
Wood
Pauli Pauli
Hirst
Fifita???
Looking at Craig Huby's interview on Trinity TV it looks like he will be asked to play bigger minutes and then get Monday off...England has been great this season and has been doing long stints so it just leaves me wondering whether we are going all out for the two points in this and then leaving Monday to really freshen up and see what happens as the Monday games are usually a lottery!
