Anyone know when Miller is due to arrive? Must be this week surley!

Tickle will come in because he's been consistently good over 6 seasons. Cannot write that off cos the team been pretty good for 10games. Also a regular try scorer and 1of the very best goal kickers. No way he won't play.
Like Johnston-under rated -but would have green in, whiting is gonna be on the bench, gentles said before he prefers him there in case we have to use his versatility.
11 Ellis
12 westy
13 Pitts starting back row for me, god knows the bench though, some good players will miss out!

I'd pick the team that played against Warrington & Leeds not the imposters that turned up in France

Shouldn't Crookes get another chance? Cats was his first game back and the whole team was rubbish. Seems harsh to drop him under those circumstances.

Couple of seats left for transportation if anyone interested?
We'll be through town at 4pm, hopefully in Cas not long after 5 so a few hours for a good gargle.
Heading for Glass Blower (Wetherspoons) in Cas.
PM for details if interested ta.

Looking forward to Cas, my favourite away trip.

Briscoe has to play if he's fit, maybe harsh on Crookes only giving him one game but such is life.

I'd bring Tickle in if he's fit to play 13 with Westy and Ellis on the edges. Bench of Lynch, Pitts/ Green, Whiting and Heremaia should be more than enough to get the job done.

If we don't go with the right mindset then we'll lose. Cas will give us very tough workout imo. I'm thankful Carney isn't playing.

If O'Meley, Briscoe, or Tickle are back to 100% then they'd be straight in the team for me. However, I don't think it's worth risking them for this game if they're anything less than 100% as we have cover available.

Hopefully Miller will have been over here for a bit and had time to settle in and be able to play (could possibly make a cameo off the bench to get into the swing of things - bring him on for Houghton and then bump Heremaia up to Hooker).

It all depends on the attitude of the team more than these few options in the line-up. It was basically the same set of guys that played vs Warrington&Leeds, and also KR&Catalans, but very contrasting performances in both. Need to make sure that it's more of the former.

Arundels fit too isnt he, id bring him in at left centre for Yeaman

Steady!

Might start another Yeaman 100+ page thread.

Really harsh on Crookes, of the two Lineham was far worse as he coughed up the ball 3 or 4 times at least. Forwards were the problem, they were smashed to bits, and backs had no platform. O'Meley was a massive miss and summed up the need to replace him, we desperately missed someone to get us on the front foot as no matter how hard they tried, Johnson and Green weren't big enough.

Crookes needs a decent run in the team before being judged. I think he will be first choice winger with Lineham next season and that will be when he will build his reputation - whatever that may be.
