Be interesting to see if Peet has it in him to drop Bibby, he has been under performing for a while but I just can’t see it happening.

At least Woolf has been honest. That’s not always been the case IMO but he’s thrown his cards on the table there and it’s now up to the league if they face any sanction for it. He’s not wrong IMO in having a go at the schedule but it’s not like it’s been dumped on him at short notice.

I don't think he's complaining about short notice - everyone knows it will happen and everyone will react differently.

As you say - it is what it it, everybody knows about it and you can make an informed decision as to whether the 2 points are worth the extra game. Woolf has decided not and that is its own punishment.

We are playing shortest turnaround of all on the back of the most demanding set of fixtures of all, so I can see his logic.

Let's be honest, the short turnaround games are often a) rubbish standard and b) decided by who limps out of the previous game in better shape.

Oh aye, I know he’s not saying it’s short notice, although the trip to Catalans in the cup probably wasn’t part of his original thinking.

I don’t think the league will give any further punishment but u can’t see them having easy conversations with the guys from Sky. You never know, it might be a better game now. Probably would be won comfortably with a full team and Cas might just relax too much now.

Matty Peet saying Brad O’Neill is ready and waiting and that it’s a good opportunity to introduce him. Can’t wait to see him get a fair crack at it and see how he goes.

Whatever you think of him, Powell's enforced absence does give an opportunity for O'Neill to get a few games under his belt, and better that happening now, than in another couple of months. Will give us some options and a better idea going forward.
