A mixture of injuries and the form of Kyle Wood, but I'd expect him start playing around Easter as we have some big games coming up.

| I would pick Dixon, Melling, Sarginson, Colbon and Robertson as the backs.
Luke Dorn had an absolute shocker at both Salford and Widnes and has made only 22 out of 41 attempted tackles this season. He would be an appropriate bench option.
Jamie O'Callaghan has poached one try and set up one other and that's it. Very little production. He has made 400 less metres than three of the Castleford backs and only just over 50 tackles in 7 games with 12 misses. He would not get a game from me.

His positional play is appalling too, the same problems we had with Clubb.

I thought Melling looked decent at SR last week. I castigated McDermott at the time for trying to move him there - maybe it's worth sticking with after all?

| London Broncos coach Rob Powell admits the pressure is building on his new-look team to perform after an indifferent start to the season.
The capital club began the year amid renewed optimism following their rebranding and an influx of overseas talent but they remain joint bottom of the Stobart Super League with just one win from their first eight matches.
Powell was particularly disappointed with last week's loss to fellow strugglers Widnes, for which he is expecting his players to atone when they meet Wakefield at the Twickenham Stoop on Saturday evening.
"We owe the fans, the owner and ourselves a good performance after last week and I know the boys are looking to make amends," he said.
"Clearly performances like last week when you are playing poorly and losing adds to the pressure on the team. We have got to start picking up some points."
After scoring 102 points in their last three matches, Powell is happy enough with his side's attacking prowess but concedes they have a major problem in defence and is hoping to be given time to turn it around.
"That's out of my control but what I would say is that there are enough good signs," he said.
"We are going well enough offensively to suggest we're not a complete rabble. We're just not defending well, there's not enough energy in our defence.
"We've got some cohesion - we're scoring points for fun - so it's not all doom and gloom.
"If we were losing 40-0 every week, I would probably say there are serious issues here.
"We need to be better and I'm expecting a good response. I know they'll have a real good go because they were embarrassed last week."
The Broncos are boosted by the return from injury of high-profile imports Shane Rodney and Michael Robertson while Wakefield will give a debut to centre Paul Sykes, a former Harlequins player who has joined them on loan from Bradford.
The Wildcats are on a resurgence following their narrow loss to leaders Warrington and last week's victory over high-flying Catalan Dragons, but coach Richard Agar is wary of their struggling opponents.
"We've had a little bit of momentum over three or four weeks even though we've not had the two points to show for it," he said.
"This week brings along different challenges for a new group of people. It's the first time we've played someone below us in the competition."
