Not sure I drop Houghton, just watched game again and he better than Heremia on Saturday, we looked better with Houghton on.

Also he was excellent against saints, totally outplayed roby, he major problem isn't with our pack it's our backs and halfbacks, at times our forwards laid te platform, only for us to spread it out wide and drop it or produce an appalling kick on the last tackle.

I'd look to drop Yeaman, he is making too many errors always seem to be a crucial times, but who plays centre, whiting maybe.

McDonnell
Lineham
Crooks
Whiting
Briscoe
Horne
Holdsworth
Johnson
Heremia
Lynch
Westerman
Galea
Green

Watts
O meley
Houghton
Pitts

Swap Galea for Tickle and I'd go with that. The more I calm down about Saturday the more I realise how difficult it's going to be for Gentle to follow through his threat.

A classic troll!



However I, along with most other Cas fans, are thinking similar. After some really tough games and some good performances, a game against an out of sorts Hull FC team holds no fears. However most of us, or at least those of us that have had the misfortune of following Cas for a while, know that a good performance one week is no guarantee of one the following week. I'm predicting a pretty close match on Friday.

Agree with this and said so straight after the game. The backs were woeful in attack and our right centre in particular was a nightmare defensively. The forwards are good enough to get us top 4 in this league in my opinion but we don't have the halves (especially when Holdsworth is out) and centres (at any time) to match that.

Mostly agree with that but Houghton is an important link between forwards and backs and at times his distribution is so poor it leaves the receiver with no chance. This happened several times against Widnes.

Ben Crooks won't be playing I don't think he is looking like being out two weeks slight Bicep tear or something of the sort.

Jason Crookes centre, Lineham on the wing will do

Agree that's why I didn't quote that bit of the post. I've dropped Houghton in my selection

Forgot about tickle, yeah swap him and galea, although if Wilf is right and Crooks is out, then Yeaman shoud be back in.

Cas have too good centres, so to I woud go with Yeaman and whiting, I like whiting in the backrow, but we have good cover there and the right hand cdefence needs tightening. Paying Crookes who has very little experience at paying centre, could be very dangerous.

I just don't see too many changes myself, what room for manouvre does he have?

If Crooks is injured then probably Arundel plays unless he tries Crookes. He won't drop Yeaman and rightly so, I'd stick with him. Watts coming back means a forward will be dropped, Pits probably. Then DJ for Seymour.

It seems the early season has been littered with shock results,huddersfield winning at saints,salford beating rovers,hull beating bradford.!

Anyone know what's happened to the boring c**t smiley?

Maybe the Cas game is just right for Arundel?

Its obvious Seymour won't play now so Horne and Westerman for me.

I say that because nothing else has worked so far, and Westerman has been poor for me, so maybe a change might do him good?

Worry is however you toss it around, it doesnt look good on paper!

I would just settle for some fookin passion and will to win!

No , Sherlock?

Told he was injured, but not bicep. I have my doubts he will play. Jack Briscoe? To be honest, I can't see Yeamo being dropped.

I can see Cas winning this one, Webster looks to be in good form and I can see Carney smashing through your right hand side defence. Should be a good game.

I wouldn't want to see a half back combo of Westerman and Horne, if Holdsworth isn't fit I'd have considered Nicklas.

You better hope he's not going to p!ss himself.

Well there is that.

Maybe he'll do a Gary Lineker and poo himself, then wipe his ar[is[/ie on the pitch.

They have 2 half backs also. Carney's an absolute monster.

Pressure will really be on if we lose this one. Simple for me - if holdsworth plays we win, if he doesn't we'll probably lose

just what i was thinking a cas win without holdsworth and fc if he plays.
chase will want to have a stormer as well after all that went on in the press Que him scoring and kissing his badge and ellis looks solid for them too. a very tough game this week!

We will do well to win this one,a few players with points to prove and should be a good tough game
