I don't know exactly how busted Cas are because no one ever mentions it - but regardless of that, they are where they are in the table for a reason, and given all the casualties we've racked up, we'll be hard pressed to get over them. Cas win for me - sadly.

Some good news is although charged Pauli Pauli has escaped a ban.

I should think he has - it was a ridiculous decision in the first place.

On the plus side, hooker apart, our pack still looks really good and we shouldn't be getting done up the middle.
However, although Hampshire has been excellent all season, scoring enough points to beat Cas looks difficult with the squad that we "may" have.
I keep hoping that the injuries weren't too bad but, on the basis that we have 2 games in 5 days, we're going to need some kind of miracle over the Easter weekend AND hope that we dont pick up any more injuries.

I'm still seething over the Wigan game and for 1 player to get off scot free and another to cop a 2 game ban is just no consolation, in fact, it's like someone spitting in our collective faces.

Let's get behind whichever side Chester can field and if we can keep the ball among the forwards and get a bit of luck, maybe miracles can happen.

Come on Trin !

Expected the coupon to read maybe -2 Cas or off scratch, you lot get 12 start and are 3/1 outright.

Wood is likely to play on Thursday as well as Lyne which is 2 really big positives for us

Re: Cas : Mon Apr 15, 2019 10:20 pm  

Do we just look to post our strongest squad against leeds on Monday?and sort of wright the caps game off ?

we really just need to concentrate on still being in top 5 after Easter 1 win would do that

Re: Cas : Mon Apr 15, 2019 10:40 pm  

strongest side of course, which could consist of just about anybody therefore its not like its even an issue, unless you're suggesting we drop the academy off at wheldon rd.

Strongest fit side for me.
It's the 'taking the two' of club management. Play the next game, not the one after that.
