Some early news:

Jason Ryles is in line for a comeback.
Cyril Stacul was struggling with an injury, but should be OK.
Greg Bird is still waiting for RFL clearance. Cronulla and Bradford don't have an issue with it, but other, unnamed Super League clubs have objected. Fingers crossed they're successful, but if it comes through in time, he'll be in the side.
Dane Carlaw won't play, but is recovering ahead of schedule.

Give THEM the bird.

i believe that the intention is to play bird at 6 with Bosc on the wing!

other options would be him at 13 and greg into the second row or him in the centre/second row

kin hope not

As far as I know we, Cas, have no injuries for the weekend.

Birds been given all clear, looks to make debut against the Tigers

No chance of playing he has not played for 8 months new country new team sorry mate he wont play.
By the way he aint that good anyway no better than the players you have at half back already.

btw

Crec que serà un joc premut. Però espero que puguem guanyar en sentit estricte.

I believe that higgins, boyle and clayton are all still out, with higgins being the only first choice player (though boyle would normally be first choice back up for him).

YOU ARE CORRECT, BIRD HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL WITH THE WORK VISA
AND WILL BE PLAYING THIS WEEKEND.

CHEERS
DAVE

Hopefully this will be to castlefords advantage as bird wont be match fit or well gelled with his team mates. Failing that mitchell sargent will knock him all the way back to oz

noooooooooo


do you mean use bird as a centre?


theres a fair chance Cala knows more than me but FWIW I would name Bird in the 2nds, provided hes fit enough.

Both were running at 5/8 at this mornings training session

cheers Phil
