Slightly off topic this,

I have just been on the Cas forum to see what interest there is from their side in the game on Sunday. All of the threads on that forum have no replies to them.

Do Cas fans have another forum they post on?

Yes just google Casforum.

Cas' last 4 home games have been a disaster for them. They've conceded 159 points in total - nearly 40 per game. Safe to say they are defensively wobbly.

HTW has signed for York on a months loan.

wigan and les cats both rested players this week. Shame us and cas didn't get our heads together and play our game on Saturday and give both an extra days rest before the cup games

Squad:

Bowden, Fonua, Green, Hadley, Houghton, Michaels, Minichiello, Naughton, Pritchard, Pryce, Shaul, Sneyd, Taylor, Thompson, Tuimavave, Turgut, Washbrook, Watts, Yeaman

No Ellis, Manu, Talanoa.

I'm hearing Minichello struggling with Groin I wouldn't risk anyone with knocks, next week massive for us.

Shaul
Michaels
Fonua
Yeaman
Naughton
Tuimavave
Pryce
Watts
Houghton
Taylor
Pritchard
Hadley
Washbrook

Bowden
Thompson
Turgut
Green

Still a strong side

Wouldnt be surprised if we see more changes before the match.
Think Sneyd will be rested probably why Pryce is included, and poss Mini if Turgut has been included
Still have the power to beat Cas

Maybe so. I wasn't aware either had any knocks. If so, get em wrapped in cotton wool, we still have enough quality out there to get the win.

Really looking forward to the game and hopefully a massive following from FC

Any game without Captain Marvel becomes a major challenge. Hope someone else can step up and partly fill the void.

I was thinking same regarding more changes before kick off.
The other thing is cas will have 1 eye on their cup game as well I imagine
Beauty is we can leave these players out and replace with really good players

Naughton is good, but.....

Michaels on the other wing.

Lots of pace in that team.

dorn is back for cas which means solomona back on the wing so they are a much different proposition on sunday. I can see this going either way but our forwards should give us a really good platform if we control the ball well and we should spend plenty of time near their line given the short pitch. Wouldn't be surprised if sneyd is rested also and that would leave us short on a decent kicking game and maybe give cas the edge.

In the context of the season I'm not too worried if we lose on sunday due to resting 3 or 4 key players so they are fit for the cup game which is much more important as a one off. It would take a massive dip in form for us to miss out on the end of season play offs now so the odd loss won't be too damaging

Cup is the Clubs major target .
Rest anyone who needs it .
