On balance of probabilities it'll be a patched up side. At a guess

Rankin
Lancaster
Michaels
Yeaman
Talanoa
Pryce
Sneyd
Watts
Houghton
Paea
Hadley
Minichiello
Abdull?

Feka
Bowden
Thompson
Cunningham?

Assumes Shaul, Sa, Lineham, Ellis, Westerman, Whiting and Green unavailable. Good luck to whoever has to mark Carney.

We've got to wind Carney up. A real shame Sa won't be there to do it.

Judging by what I heard Radford say, the injuries picked up on Friday aren't likely to keep them out for Cas, I'm thinking Ellis will be out though. Lineham should be allowed to rest and get his fitness up again so give Lancaster a go as that kid can score tries for fun. Shaul I reckon should be back in fit now that he's had a few weeks rest but I think Rankin is doing a decent enough job.

Problem is 4 games in 15 days with lots of players with knocks/injections. Needs careful management.

If Cunningham isn't fit we have to give Howarth a run out to give Houghton a break during the game, otherwise what was the point of signing him?

I agree the likes of Ellis, Westerman etc shouldn't be risked if they aren't fit.

What did Lineham do? I like Lancaster but Lineham is invaluable carrying it off our line, it's like another forward. We lose a lot of physicality with Lancaster there instead. I'd still like to see Talanoa at centre with Lancaster outside him.

The one who sounded like he would definitely be out is Ellis, the rest were minor knocks. If we were riding high I might say save them for Easter, but this is another must win game.

Line hak appared to be carrying a knock all game, but he does have an unusual walk so it's hard to tell!

Problem is, is Lancaster up to marking Carney? He might score tries and have pace to burn but has his defence being worked on? Lineham v Carney is a good match up and with Talanoa inside of him that's a tough edge to break through. Having Micheals (great tackler) alongside Lancaster gives us a a lot of pace on that flank.

Personally I'd rather have Rankin in and isn't he 'in form', so it's down to Shaul to oust him from the starting line up, that's what Radford stated how things would be no?

I think Thompson will play loose if Westerman is out. Abdul could make the bench though.

westerman and green were dead leg injuries. these are funny things as they can recover in a couple of days, but equally it can take a couple of weeks. very hard to say whether they will be back for cas

Carney could be banned, got sin binned for fighting with Chase.

Must win game for me, need to play the best team possible, forget looking towards Easter weekend, need the big guns on the pitch

Wouldn't risk anyone with iffy injuries. Madness risking them

We look quicker without Westerman. I'd give the 13 shirt to Thompson.
