same, but I think what people are pointing out is Westerman is better at running wide, when he actually gets the chance, than he is at carting the ball straight up the middle. He offers a lot as a supporting runner IMO but can get battered around when taking the ball up the middle. I think he'll be utilised better once the new players settle and Gentle can see who suits which role(s) a bit better.

Who will be goal kicking? who kicked against Rovers?

probably Holdsworth

Even Gentle?

Yeah, that's kinda what I put!

The big day's finally here! wish it would hurry up to 8pm already! Come on you 'Ull!!

cant wait for it to kickoff people talking about Crookes i see your points but maybe gentle is giving him a chance to show what hes made of if he slips up then Lineham will be in no doubt. tickle is a big miss for me makes us much stronger in the middle Galea wont be in the 13 at all once he is back and as for westy i do like to see him out wide but who would we play in in loose? id put tickle there westy and ellis in second row

To cover most the points...

I would start Whiting ahead of anyone is the back row barring Ellis. Don't think Westerman is lazy, but he has an awful defensive technique. He always makes good impact, but the attacker always bumps him off and carries on. I think it's nothing less than criminal that Crookes is starting in front of Lineham. We have to at least try Seymour and Holdsworth together for a few games. Speaking to many Cas fans, and watching him myself on many occasions - Arundle isn't awful, but isn't known to be a great defensive centre.

For me our pack and halfbacks are equal, but Leeds' threequarters are light years ahead of us in class. Our back three are incredibly vulnerable, and I expect most of our conceded points to be scored because of this.

none of them can catch aa high ball with any assuredness, that will be our downfall tonigh, I believe.

Shhhhhh, Sinnners will be reading this
