Speaking to one of the lads from the elite talent squad last night and he was saying Ashworth has been outstanding in pre season. One of the fittest in the squad.

Just hope he can stay injury free as no doubting his quality.

Big make or break year for Ashworth hooefully stays fit and signs for two years

I'm liking that there seems to be competition about training performance in the squad. Last year it just seemed one big laugh about and don't get me going again on overseas jollys being booked before the season has ended...

Agree on Ashworth, I do think he'll prove to have a been a great signing especially not playing with injuries and lack of proper rehab before taking to the field again. Feel there'll be a few players that surprise us under the new Coach.

Some of the lads in the elite talent squad are getting a run out on Saturday.

Rapana dropping hints in Hull Live he may be a centre due to the rise of Moy.

Based on the respective squads I don't see us winning on Saturday but the result isn't the important part anyway

It’s our full first choice 17 maybe excluding Holmes? In for a long season if we don’t expect to win with our first 17 available.

Only Holmes and Aydin missing. Would imagine we'll go full strength for the first 40 before chopping and changing in the second half.
We should more than match them first 40 and will be interesting to see how the young lads go in the second half.

Not forgetting that Cas have had a few games to blow the cobwebs off whereas we've not (aside from our 1000 point humiliation against York).

I'll just take a good hit out and no injuries for a change.
