Clifford has just copt a one match ban so misses the CAs v Hull game. Boost for Cas's chances.

But we've 3 missing that got injured against Warrington.

Miller has a 1 game ban as well.

Biggest game in the club's history arguably. Probably slightly less so with a potential takeover in the works. However, we need to win this. We MUST.

Not one of them comparable to the influential Clifford though. You get an additional boost of Miller being unavailable too. Hopefully he's running on with doped water.

3 what missing ,Coach as messed about whith first team so much have not got a clue what first team looks like .Will be last game for me this season .

He is referring to 3 Cas players injured at Warrington

Dont rely on us winning, think Cas will beat us, own owner gave up on the season in June, looks like some players have too, a few injuries and suspension for our best player, meaning we have no halfbacks. Cas will win as they have something to fight for. Just have to hope you can win two more games.

It's not really how it works though is it, having something to fight for isn't an automatic win.

I think we will beat Catalan on Friday.

Well skybet have already published the handicaps for friday.

Trin are getting 12 start
Cas are getting 2 start.

Personally I think our game could be very close with that handicap and 12 is about right.
My bet would be Cas. I think they will beat Hull outright.

It is, if the other team have given up

With Cas very likely to beat Hull, we may have to beat Catalan just to stay in the chase.
Having something to fight for against a side that has nothing to fight for and that are already "on holiday", certainly improves your chances.

Of course, anything can happen but........

Are you forgetting Ward has only been in charge for 3 games?

Whoever loses their SL place be it us or Castleford deserve to do so.

Cas won’t win another game this season. Problem is i doubt we will either.

I would have more confidence of victory against Catalan if it was last season’s squad and coach but if they could not raise the game sufficiently to beat Castleford then I fear for the three games left. I don’t blame either because we were put into this insidious position by our two incumbents and their desire for prudence.
I agree MC saved us from his boss but sadly they did not get anyone in place quick enough to save us from them. I hope we survive despite them but fear even our usual survival luck cannot overcome what we have done this season.
If we do then I will wish them well for whatever the future brings far away from the club but relegation will be a legacy they will have to bear for our great club.

Haven't you done the "current incumbents to blame" thing enough now?

I can see Cas beating Hull FC this weekend, and that's all they need to do to stay up IMO

I can see us winning too.
Decisions that went very much against us against Sts meant they won by 16.
With a better ref we should be reasonably confident of competing against Caralan.

Max playing would be a bonus so Franco can go back to centre.

He is the current Director of Rugby allegedly but I don’t recall him making any statements regarding the team’s situation considering it was the one he helped put together. I suppose it may be on Facebook which appears to be the favourite medium but sadly like many I do not subscribe.

Not as much as you've defended the indefensible., PT

Lol. Don't try and jump on Scarlet's band wagon.
Although I don't always agree with him at least he justifies his opinion.

I haven't defended anyone. I just challenge people to justify their facts if they are aimed at an individual. Whether board, coach, players or refs....or supporters.

Sorry if you feel uncomfortable with that.

This is my team from the announced squad.

Jowitt
Senior
Griffin
Croft
Kershaw
Lino
Gale
Battye
Hood
Whitbread
Ashurst
Pitts
Atoni

Kay
Fifita
Bowden
Tanginoa

Miss
Eseh
Proctor
Lineham
Bowes

Never going to happen but I'd have Bowes in for Lino or Hood.

I like Eseh but he's still very raw and made a few errors against Saints, but the props pick themselves. Like Atoni at 13. Has a good pair of hands for a forward.
