Picking from pretty much a full strength line-up for an important game. Gives an indication of where on the current ladder Bailey and Singleton stand (behind Kirke and Achurch) as well as Stevie Ward (behind Walters and Sutcliffe)

Ward did enough last week to be ahead of Walters and JJB.

Kirke is a debate that will one day be part of a Ripleys believe it or not exhibition.

JJB and Kirke to miss out for me. Having Hardaker and Kylie back is huge for us.

Also worth noting that Bailey's not fit (currently a coupled of niggling injuries Mac wants to heal rather than get flared up before playoffs) while Singleton's being rested, as he's put in a lot of minutes this season for a kid who's still only 21.

Further thinking, odd time for Ward to miss out, on the back of one of his better performances this year against KR.

I would Start Delaney at Prop and bring Kylie off the Bench but I think Mc will put Sutty/Walters on the Bench and use Delaney at 13 with Jjb starting in the BR.

Looking forward to watching the game (hate Thursday nights) we should use the large pitch to our advantage.

You obviously like Delaney then.

Cheers

FWIW I would go with DoubleAone's from the squad selected, except to replace Walters with Bailey. We need an out and out prop on bench.

I was thinking Bailey was injured ??? and Walters is in form.

JP to do 80

. Leuluai to interchange with Delaney at prop.

I'd go for this myself. Use Delaney as an Interchange Prop to help Kylie out.

Yep that works for me

Ryan Bailey will be fit to play and Bish is dropped in favour of Zak and Tom Briscoe. That will mean it should look like this:-

1. Zak Hardaker
2. Tom Briscoe
3. Kallum Watkins
4. Joel Moon
5. Ryan Hall
6. Kevin Sinfield (C)
7. Danny McGuire
8. Kylie Leuluai

13. Liam Sutcliffe

14. Rob Burrow
15. Jamie Jones-Buchanan
16. Ryan Bailey
17. Mitch Achurch

Briscoe and Walters to drop out for me but have a feeling Ben Jones will miss out to Briscoe

JJB shouldn't be selected for this game - his match fitness must be questionable for what will be an intense game.

However I do expect both him and Kirke to be in the 17 - sadly

Agree with that.

Think there has been a typo in the squad list as Ryan Bailey isn't on, and Ben Jones Bishop is, even though he's said BJB will not play and Bailey will.

Who's said this?

BB- Mac did during hi pre-game interview I followed a link posted via twitter for TotalRL.com he says exactly what Frosties posted.

Nice one. I'll leave Mayfair at home then.

Cas squad:

Dixon
Shenton
Webster
Carney
Dorn
Sneyd
Lynch
Milner
Huby
Millington
Hauraki
Massey
Clark
Holmes
Mariano
Wheeldon
Ellis
Finn
Jewitt

This is the team I would like to see us go with.plenty of grunt to come off the bench and robbie to counter the guile of clark.

I was one for dropping Briscoe once Hardaker returned but TBF he did have an improved showing vs HKR last week.
