Back on the road on Friday, a winnable game even in our current form (you'd like to think). Carlos returning from his ban could be a timely return for Sutcliffe should he drop out. Be interesting to see if Mcintosh and Litten return. Now the season is all but done id like to see some younger players given a chance over players that won't be here in 2024.

Litten
Mcintosh
Scott
Carlos
Swift
Hoy
Clifford
Taylor
Houghton
Fash
Savelio
Staverley
Cator

Balmforth
Satae
Brown
Lane

If Sutcliffe is fit, put Carlos on the bench for Lane.

To be honest now the season is just as good as done I don't see the point in continuing to play Lovodua for the little he offers, Dwyer for a 10-15 cameo appearance. Question marks on Lane as he has a very poor season performance wise.

Time for TS to stop talking about giving the youth a chance and actually do it before there are no games left.

What a classic this will be! 4th game against Cas of the year too, anyone attending deserves a medal!

When are the Reserves playoffs?
I wonder if they'll want some of our better young players to play in those rather than a nothing game at Cas.
Just a thought if there aren't many youngsters in the squad.

No play-offs for the reserves sadly, just 1st and 2nd straight into the final. Academy side are in the play offs however.

Same again next year too after the clubs went against IMG and decided to keep loop fixtures

Ah, fair enough. Hope the Academy do well.
That means the Reserves are done so I can see no reason not to at least give Staveley a run now he's had a couple of Reserves games to get back up to speed.
I'd be playing Gardiner aswell.

think for the integrity of the competition, unlike others, we should play our strongest line up, sending a team half full of academy lads doesn't sit well with me with Cas and Wakeyfighting it out for survival in SL!

giving it a miss friday night, they say things come in 3s'

1 work early saturday morning, last time it took nearly 2 hours to get out the car park on coach!
2 holiday coming up beginning of october, need to find another £300 for airport transfers
3 and yesterday, boiler decided to stop circulating the hot water! so need that sorted

always think of the line from titanic when the mother cradles her kids as it is sinking

'it'll all be over soon!'

Clifford banned. I'll just write this one off as a loss

Can't wait for Houghton and Lovodua in the halves

Only a Tommy Lee and Washbrook pairing can save us

The RFL have done Cas 2 favours, banning Clifford for us and Miller for them.

Please don’t write this game off Hull .. ( Wakey fan)
