Not really a must win game that will come against Salford the following week.

I would go with the following:

Golding

Briscoe

Watkins

Moon/Keinhorst

Hall

Walker

McGuire

Cuthbertson

Parcell

Singleton

Ward

Sutcliffe

JJB



Lilley

Garbutt

Mullalley

Delaney

Walker on the wing, or have you missed Hall out and you mean Jack at 6?

Edited.

Cheers bud

Moon sounds doubtful, no need to risk anybody in the next three games. Burrow probably banned. Whilst one or both will most likely be back when the playoffs start I'd rather go for a HB combination that we'd be prepared to use if needed in the playoffs.



Either Sutcliffe to HB with Keinhorst to centre or Lilley.



Not sure if this is time to go with Walker at HB.

Think we need to play Walker at FB for this one, if he shows up well in attack AND defence then I think he earns himself the spot in the semi.

Moon won't play, Burrow will probably be banned. Not a must win game as 2nd is virtually there with two more games. Ferres may return for the game, would definitely keep Walker in the squad.

I think id go with Lilly in the halves to be honest as I think he has more chance of playing there this season than sutcliffe. Also try to develop the partnership between sutty and hall.

The main thing to see against Cas is whether we have any plan to stop them scoring and to give us some confidence that we could actually beat them.

I wonder if Cas will rest any ?

nah... Let them thrash us again and make them even more complacent for IF we meet them again at Old Trafford, then hope our GF experience and good memories there can inspire us to turn it on for one night against them....similar to our GF performances against Saints in the past where they'd often thrashed us weeks before only for us to overturn them on the night that mattered.



I think at best we can only hope to beat Cas once this year and I wouldn't want to use that chance up on Friday as if we break the Cas hoodoo I cannot see us beating them twice on the trot

Rested Lynch, McMeeken and Millington last week. I'd guess they'll bring those back in and rest a different 3 or so players and do likewise the following 2 weeks.

I think there's something in that. If we had to go to their place in the playoffs we could perhaps do with a win this week. But we can now only meet at the GF. They beat us again this week then ALL the pressure, talk and expectation is on Castleford to win and we'd get to go in as big underdogs which we'd be fine with.



If we meet in the GF that is, still some SF's for both to get through first.



Even if we do win this week it can be dismissed as a dead rubber so not significant.
