Anything other than a win is completely unacceptable, we’ve been too happy to bend over for this lot the past 5 or so years. Enough is enough.

50/50 game in my opinion. Prior to the Challenge cup think Wakefield were favourites to be honest but injuries seem to have hit at this particular time.

Re: So it's Cas next up : Tue Apr 12, 2022 12:35 pm  

2 very similar teams both lacking 4-5 first choice players. Presumably Brad walker coming in for batchelor and will play at loose, hopefully fifita and Johnson will play.

Wonder if murph will keep one of the wing spots and Kay revert to interchange hooker
Would be happy with any kind of win

I'd go with

1 Jowitt
2 Johnstone
3 Hall
4 Lyne
5 Murphy
6 Gaskell
7 Lino
8 Fifita
9 Hood
10 Arona
11 Ashurst
12 Pitts
13 Crowther

14 Kay
15 Tanginoa
16 Whitbread
17 Aydin

My only question mark is how Murph would play opposite Eden. He's their big strike player and always has a field day against us. He can't get any space at all. If it needs to be Kay then so be it but I think I'm ok with Murphy
Battye could easily be in front row but I like fresh legs in Aydin

Re: So it's Cas next up : Tue Apr 12, 2022 1:03 pm  

Cas probable line up after injuries

Evalds
Olpherts Mamo Sutcliffe Eden
Trueman Obrien
Watts McShane Massey
Griffin Edwards
Westerman

Matagi Smith Milner Fonua

Unless LR decides to try a couple of young ones over someone who is underperforming.

Think Murphy is getting more confident with each game Was up against a G B winger at Wires and gave as good as he got

Suppose it will all depend on who’s fit and recovered but given our inability to score against Wigan can’t see walker not playing.

Re: So it's Cas next up : Tue Apr 12, 2022 3:33 pm  

Kay has to play as he scored a try last time we beat cas at home - 2013 last time we beat them at bv

I think you are giving Cas a lot of credit comparing their defense to Wigan.

Not that much difference between the two, Wigan have conceded around 19 points a game on average this year, Cas around 25 on average a game so not miles apart based on the stats.
