Only one thing is certain, form books are wrong when we play at Cas. They never go the way they're expected to.

I love going down t'Road though. Great fans and always root for us in the finals.

All depends how fit Colbon looked for Donny. If he looked ready for a SL game then him and Crooks/Arundel, if not then go with both of the latter pair. Whiting back into the pack (probably on the bench) and Thompson or Tuson to miss out.

Carvell back in but for Watts IMO. Did nothing wrong at all last week, but Bowden has done nothing wrong for 4 weeks, either, and sometimes that's just how it goes.

Hull and Cas are like the good mates of the league

Ah yeah I remember or now, they won the rail cup in 2005 , I was annoyed for 2 months, until we won the bigger prize, promotion.

Cookey recons he put a shift in with some good carries and he'll do a decent job for us.

if its down to goal kicking sneyd will win hands down

he can kick blindfolded, hopefully our tries will be down

the middle to make the kicks easier

Colborn not getting rave reviews from the Donny supporters.

Lacked fitness and confidence and looked more like a second row than a winger, were the comments.

Not sure it is wise to play him in such an important game.

In that case maybe Crooks on the wing with Whiting at centre. No offence to Arundel but Whiting did a good job there last week. This would allow Colborn to get at least another game under his belt with Donny to build up some match fitness.

Another option is maybe Shaul on the wing and Rankin playing full back?

Yeah I would use him as a last chance saloon, would rather see Whiting or Crooks there personally.

Hmmm in that case maybe needs another run out. Could be tempted to give Stark a run out scored hatrick at weekend.

Bowden not charged.

Quote ="ccs"Bowden not charged.'" therfl.co.uk/news/article/29715/ ... rs-charged carney charged a grade A for a punch on a wigan player, 0-1 match ban as i understand, don't think he has a EGP either as he was banned a few times last season note mcllorun up for grade c for breaking kirk dixons' jaw

Mcollorum is a house

Not surprising really, 1st game since last year?

shouldnt play colbon if he wasnt fit, i wonder if Radford or Last attended the game?

would go with arundel or crooks on the wing

someone is going to be unlucky if carvell is fit too! tough decisions for radford but its great we are in the position where it is

I'd like to think they where at the Cas/Wigan game tbh. I'm sure Paul Cooke will have given them feedback on Colbon's performance.

If Carney missing that would be a big bonus, cancels out our loss of Lineham. Owen will come in for Dixon, thought he was unlucky to miss out against Wigan after his hat trick against Rovers.

Not convinced we will win this, expect a high scoring game and kicks could be the difference. We need a first half like we had against Bradford (apart from the first 2 minutes)

tbh, after the saints and warrington away games id be dissapointed if we don't get anything from this game, no disrespect to cas who have started brilliantly and deserve the plaudits, we should be looking at a win!

hopefully they were, forgot they played same day lol

Remind myself to take Carney out my dream team! ha

Bowden not even mentioned in the disciplinary, so was it even a shoulder charge?.

Would be a mismatch up against Carney.

I think the general consensus is that Carney will get a one game ban and won't be playing. James Clare would be less of a miss match. Personally though I would go Colbon. He might not be match sharp but he's got plenty of experience, plus we signed him for exactly this scenario.

Stark shown some pluck in friendlies and reserve games but
not to be harsh on the kid he's tiny, not much scope for that in the modern game if you look at some of the wingers kicking about. He could develop but at this moment it would be a mismatch in physicality and experience whoever up against.
When he isn't even full time it's asking for trouble!
