I can see both sides. however I think the older players.
, if only a couple, should have been given a rest

The only ones i could really think of giving a rest would be JJB and maybe hall, not your pivots for obvious reasons and golding is young anyway and missed a few. from the forwards galloways already missed loads, ferres just coming back, certainly not ward or singleton. Also liam Sutcliffe needs time in the centres as it looks like thatll be his role this season and the next in line in the case of injuries is handley so he no doubt benefitted.

I do see your point but i don't think it's something to get hung up about.

i would much rather see these fringe lads get game time against weaker SL teams when the chance presents itself though to see if they can hack it than virtual walkovers like this today.

Some fair points above, but Mac spelled out his decisions last week. Better the fringe players get some guaranteed game time than waiting for injuries that would get them first team action. We need some game time with the best players available to take on a Castleford side that are the best team in the competition at the moment. Looks like we've come through unscathed. All in all, looking as good as it could.

All will be forgiven when we hand em their sorry black n amber a$$es on a plate.

Once we picked mainly first choice players we should have spent as much time as possible trying to run through moves - e.g. try to get Hall/Briscoe into positions to score at the expense of simple gaps for someone near the PTB to get on the teamsheet. Otherwise you might as well pick youngsters and give them the experience.

Oh look, Gotcha's moaning about the coach again.

Oh look Loiner81 is out on licence only jesting
