Having just watched several times I would say it is level. What is in Shenton's favour is he is still well in front of Eden when Eden catches the pass.

As a matter of interest,who would your 5 cas players be?
Roberts
Millington
Moors
Hardaker
Gale
Or none of the above?

I say this from seeing Cas plenty of times, and often down the jungle. I would take Hardaker, Millington, Gale, McMeeken, and Sene-Lafao. I am not a fan of Moors or Roberts, decent players, but I don't see the advantag in a swap there.

Wow, just wow. Junior Moors is absolutely outstanding and walks into any super league side. I get Ben Roberts can be rocks and diamonds at times but Junior is different gravy. Think he won players player, fans player and coaches player of the year at Cas last year and has continued his form and some into this season.

So you don't think he would boost your pack when compared to Mullally, Garbutt, Galloway, Singleton, JJB, Ferres ? Generally speaking I agree with a lot of your views on Leeds / Cas, but I think you are very wrong as far as Junior Moors is concerned.

Put Junior Moors into an auction with any Leeds forward and I'm fairly sure who would attract the highest bidder.

My Leeds /Cas combined team:
Hardacre: Eden, Watkins, Shenton, Hall: Roberts, Gale: Cuthberton, McShane, Millington, Moors, Sene Lafao, Milner.

Webster, Parcell, Ward, Garbett

I respect your opinion, and it is all opinion of course. I'm not sure the bias is incredible, but it is there! Moon is a very good player, I give you that. Yesterday McShane clearly out performed Parcell, but hookers interchange. I have included Ward. I don't see what Carl would bring over those named, but again, I don't see Leeds week on week. I'm glad I'm not Bennet.

Sorry, but in what way did McShane outperform Parcell? you must have been watching a different game to me yesterday, where Parcell yet again makes just short of another 50 tackles, and was instrumental to our defence. But regardless of that, yesterday wasn't quite relevant, it should be looked over more than a game yesterday.

In what is a league of mediocrity i am intrigued about cas. If we don't win any silverware I would be happy to see them succeed.
I have this feeling when Wigan get the big guns fit again they will choke the life out of cas ,should they meet in a sudden death game.

Ok, you win that one, just checked the stats and Parcell performs highly, both yesterday and all season.
Parcell goes in, swap him from the bench. I haven't put McMeeken in, an international forward.

Another post refers to Cas's lack of star quality! Three current England starters, an international stand off, two international centres, Jesse and Junior walking into Samoa's team, and Millo, one of the most highly respected forwards in the game. Some of those "big club" supporters won't have it will they.

As far as the hype around the media for Cas, which is resented by many, it's not coming from the club, and DP is constantly trying to keep a lid on it, so don't blame Cas, who are simply playing what's in front each week.

Tvoc, totally agree we won't have it all our own way. We have hull away in the cup, that will be a damn tough game, if we win that, we will have either wire Wigan salford wakefield or Leeds, all capable of beating us. I knew yesterday would be a totally different game to round 3. We could face Leeds another 4 times this season, none of which will be a walk in the park for either side.


Just for fun a select 17

Zak
Hall
Shenton (over watkins based on his leadership and defence)
Moon
Minikin
Roberts
Gale
Cuthbertson
McShane
Millington
McMeeken
Ferres (1.5 stone lighter though)
Ward

Ablett
Moors
Parcell (would add some zip against tiring defence but imo Mcshane controls the ruck more so should start)
Jessie Sene Lafeo
