Even with all the current injuries the squad still looks strong enough to hopefully win the next 3 games.
After that who knows…..Fingers crossed the fringe players take their chances and we make a quality mid season signing or two.

Hooley
Olpherts
McDonald
Martin
Handley
Austin
Myler
Oledski
O'Connor
Holroyd
McDonnell
Bentley
Smith

Johnson
Walters
Sangare
Donaldson

As long as Austin and Bentley are fit, that should be enough...

Think this is the squad I would go with too

Yeh, interested to see how Hooley would go in very different conditions.
One poor performance doesn't make him a bad player.

Yeah, unfairly written off by many already.

Same ground.

Massive performance needed today, we have injuries but the side we put out should be more than good enough, especially in the forwards.
Lose and play offs and pretty much a ling shot and season gone. Knives will be getting sharpened for smith if we lose this one to one on of the worse sides ever seen in Super league.

I'm not a smith fan but I wouldn't criticise him if we lost the right way.
if we are weak, sit back and invite pressure, with a weak side that would be really, really stupid, there would be criticism.
go after them, get on the front foot, clever kicking game.

Ha one of the worst sides super league ever seen, give over

Well lets put it this way, both Castleford sides that got relegated were better than this current side, think they are thankful, the current Wakey side is the worst side ever.

I’m sure Cas will raise it as usual. If no Austin I worry about our kicking game on a big pitch but hopefully we will be able to get over them

HANDLEY FULLBACK
MACDONALD-WING
ROBERTS-CENTRE
MARTIN-CENTRE
OLPHERTS-WING
AUSTIN - STAND OFF
MYLER SCRUM HALF
OLEDZKI- PROP
O'CONNOR T-HOOKER
HOLROYD-PROP
MCDONNELL -SECOND ROW
DONALDSON -SECOND ROW
SMITH FORWARD
JOHNSON INTERCHANGE
BENTLEY INTERCHANGE
WALTERS INTERCHANGE
SANGARE INTERCHANGE

If Handley is our new fullback he will have to learn the finer arts of linking up plays accurate passing and the best cover tackler in the team and immovable under the highball a bit like Gary Spencer.

I will be more than happy if we can complete the game without any more injuries.

Well that didn't go well, Holroyds pulled out

Holroyd just injured in warm up. He's out

Mik, Walters and Sangare fir the 80

Tindall on the bench now just offers nothing. Ruan would have been better.

Pretty sure I’ve just seen Ruan on the bench?

New 18th man

Is Stuart Pike going to get any of the players name right?

Time for Mik to step up and find his form again.

Simple ball that, easiest finish Olpherts will have this year.

Olpherts can catch a ball. Oomph
