We need to raid the championship or promote Brierly to cover at 7. We cant go on with this play 2 miss 2 business. Going to PNG and pinching a scrum half from a local team would probably be a better option than playing snitch or widders at 6 and Chase at 7!

Cas 12 - Hull KR 20.

Gateshead have been looking for the past 2 weeks for an half back. and Brierly is not good enough yet,he would be a spot player all the time

According to Terry's after match interview on Tiger TV, that's exactly the position we were in last weekend.

We will be playing another team who got tonked at home in the previous week.

Half back match ups...Dobson & Cooke(or Murrell)

Chase & ?.

Hull K R aren't playing well but will be up for this, Also given our home record and lousy sky record too it will be close.

Think we will play better than friday but will lose a close one by 4.

I fear a tonking is on the cards. K.R getting done to the Giants like they did will have hurt them and will want to but it right on the telly

Pretty worried about our line up if Owen [iand[/i Sherwin are missing. We were terrible on Friday and Morgan will have KR well up for this game. Add to our poor home record, it will be very close!

Heart says Cas 26 - KR 20

Head says Cas 22 - KR 34

Westerman I suspect will play in the halves, Thompson to the wing. If the only injury was Sherwin, then I would probably feel more strongly we give Brierly a chance - but playing 2 youngsters straight in the run on 13 seems tough.

Don't see what other options we have - I would not choose to go this way, but if these guys are going to come through then they have to start sometime.

We knew we'd be threadbare if we got injuries, I just didn't expect to get to round 4 and be without Richie, Widders and Sherwin and Dicko still not back yet.

Missed a prediction:
Heart - Like the Wire game could go either way.
Head - Like Friday
(crowd has a duty of care here not to get booing and give the side some encouragement especially if a couple of kids are starting, lets not get negative before a ball is kicked when the side is announced or if we are behind early doors.)

Really? I haven't seen it.

In that case why was Sherwin even in the 19 (rhetorical question not aimed at you, tb)?

God knows (though presumably the hope that he'd recover in time).

In the interview TM says Shifty couldn't walk until Wednesday, and they'd been training all week on the assumption that he wouldn't be in the team 'but he'll be right for next week (KR)'. Or not.

Have McGoldrick to partner Chase in the halves.

EDIT: My bad, I thought you were just highlighting that part of my quote to suggest I was out of order for doing so!

He answered some of your comments in the quote m8

RE the game, I hope we win, that's all I'm saying on it :/
