I bet Hampshire really pleased with his move to Cas to get more game time, had he stayed at Wigan he have played in every game this season for them.

Always weary of playing teams with players having some connection to us.
mcshane
crooks
lynch
Webster
guaranteed to all have stormers, and get a try

By the same reckoning, that could be said of our players trying to get one over on Cas...

Watts
Sneyd
Thompson
Washbrook

Not aware Washy has any connections with Cas???

He hasn't but played for Wakefield, their local rivals. Tinkerman mentioned Webster in the same vain he played for our local rivals.

Was just playing devils advocate really/

Team shouldn't be changed unless we have any injuries

With you there

Agree, although Green is a bit unlucky.

Not really, it's the competition for places we've been after for years.

Totally agree, don't think it's anything to do with luck.

Bowden certainly hasn't been "Lucky" to keep his place. It was always going to be either Bowden, Green or Thompson who would likely be dropped for Ellis, of those 3 Green loses out based purely on performance

Its a good thing when Greenie has played some really good Rugby for us and yet the standard to keep your place is even higher than that. When he does get his chance again he knows he has to raise his own bar.

Its great for us really, and where the traditional top 3 have been consistently over many years. We just have to maintain this level long term.

Tonight can't come quick.enough. COYH
