Still no Arona or Fifita ??

Nope...looks like he's rewarding the guys for the performance against Warrington and saving T and Dave for the Salford match ?

Westerman is there though, so hopefully he has recovered from his knock ??

I wonder sometimes if when giving out the 19 CC is pretty sure say Westerman won’t play but leaves him in there because he is an important player to seed doubt in the opposition. Although Powell may know through the grapevine that Westerman probably won’t play he can’t be totally sure, gamesmanship in other words.

I don’t claim to know this by the way, just wondering out loud.

I hope King makes the squad so we can rotate Tanginoa out into the 2nd Row where he belongs.

Never a bad thing to keep a winning squad together.
As a player in any team, there is nothing worse than getting dropped just because a certain player is fit again.
The only exception I would make in our squad is Fifita but, generally, players should have to fight to get their spot back and if the side know that they will play next week if they win, there is extra incentive for all of the players - as long as they dont burn out but, that shouldn't be happening on game 3 of the season.

Really, really looking forward to this one and just hoping that we can end the Cas hoodoo.

Come on Trin !

In express he did say that any player wanting to displace members of last weeks squad would have have to prove themselves. Pretty sure westerman will play as if he wasn't going to could have brought green in, sounds like Dave was a doubt but along with green and walker will all be fit for salford - hopefully they still won't be able to get into the squad .........
