Then we have big problems unfortunatley, unless you mean Alex Sutcliffe? shame as Cas do have a few injuries, including I hear Trueman out.

Im not saying it’s what I would do but I think its what will happen.

Yes Trueman is out, on paper the cas side seems beatable but they tend to raise their game against us

Never one to stick up for Golding

but we need to take into account he is not up to first team conditioning/standard as he has not played SL for some time.
That`s just in case he messes up!!
If Hurrell is injured either go with Handley or Tom Briscoe at centre bringing in Luke Briscoe or keep as is and draft in Alex Sutcliffe to centre.

We should not be letting Liam Sutcliffe anywhere near the backs unless it`s back row or back in the stands.

Golding; Briscoe Newman Hurrell Handley; Lui Myler; Oledzki Dwyer Seumanufagai; Merrin Ferres; Sutcliffe

Lunt Singleton Cuthbertson Martin

Donaldson Smith

Martin and Sutcliffe interchange helps for goal kicks if fries are scored.

If Hurrell is fit I want us to go for

Golding
T.Briscoe
Newman
Hurrell
Handley
Lui
Myler
Seamanufagai
Dwyer
Cuthbertson
Ferres ( he'll play no matter what.)
Martin
Merrin

Subs

Sutcliffe
Oldezki
Donaldson
Lunt

That bench

What you on about, that's how we've gone most of season if you actually watched a game Merrin does a stint at prop whilst Donaldson on .

I’ve watched plenty of games thanks mate, fact is your bench is crap and I pray Agar doesn’t go with your selection

2 changes for cas.
Eden in for Egodo.
Matautia in for trueman.
Rankin back to the halfs, matautia fullback.
Eden wing.

Cant see Seumanufagai or either Martin starting the game myself.

Sorry didn't know I was in charge of who leeds have available to play who would you suggest Leeds play then since there's so many superstars to choose from to put on bench jog on div.

Just to cut in on this friendly exchange, you missed off singleton which average as he's been on many an occasion he's gone ok recently.

Wouldn't have Singleton in me along with Ferres but Ferres will play regardless of how he plays Singleton scored a try against Catalans that stevie wonder would have scored that's it, was ok against Wigan a couple of weeks ago but he's been one of our poor props all year, rather have Seamanufagai, Cuthbertson, Oldezki and let Merrin go there as well because Donaldson doesn't deserve to be dropped and Sutcliffe will get a gig somewhere in 17 but I'd rather have him coming off bench to spell our other forwards.

Sorry to be boring and ask about practical stuff but what are the parking options in and around Cas? Possibly getting some mates to go so need to need a plan as I will likely be responsible for getting us to the vicinity of the ground.

Second, where do home and away fans go in the stadium or is it just a mish mash throughout? Living in Ponte it will be easier for me to get tickets from the Cas shop (don't have a printer) though if different stands are for different sides it will mean being in with all the Cas fans...

Thanks for any help you can give

Cas fans don't mind you in with them... until you start winning!

There’s a big public car park near the ground, I’m not sure if its free on Friday evening as it was a Sunday when I used it last time its about a 10minute walk from the stadium.

Away fans stand in the uncovered section if the ground but as dar as Im aware you can get to it from any standing area?

I think, the only part of the ground you can’t get in is the Weldon Road end as that’s “members only” IIRC.

I’ve always stood in the railway end opposite the Weldon road end, you’ll have to walk behind the club shop and round the training paddock and you’ll see the turnstiles easy enough. If your students cash in on the reduced prices as it’s one of a handful that do student deals.

Other than that, if you’ve not been before enjoy it, it’s a very unique throwback stadium, with fans right on top of you and a great atmosphere if it’s a good game. Beware of the “Cas Lasses” when you leave, they “absolutely hate Leeds” and they’ve very sharp tongues!

What is the difference between a Cas Lass and a Walrus?

One has whiskers and smells of fish.



The other is a Walrus.

‘Back in the day’ Leeds fans would make themselves at home in the side stand too, filling at least half of it. All the singing came from there, specifically the centre. It was like the South Stand but smaller and with no spiral staircase.

Sounds relatively ok then. Will I get away with wearing my leeds too or will I just be inviting the danger of hassle? I can handle verbal joshing and rudeness - I am a Newcastle fan in football so used to that wherever I go for away games!

Wear your colours with pride kid.

You'll be fine bud. Most cas supporters are sound. Watch out for the women though they're the worsticon_wink.gif

The majority of Cas fans are knowledgeable and appreciate the game as it should be - probably like most clubs to be fair.
Every club has a minority of idiots.
Quite fancy us for this one to be honest. Signs of life the last few weeks. Injuries will probably dictate the result here, both missing key players.

Always found Car fans to be fine, yes they like bait of banter but that's art of the fun. The only trouble I've ever had with other clubs fans is Hull FC and that was when we were at home, was quite a while ago now though and never had any issues since, although I've seen our own fans act like nob heads quite a few times.

One of the many good things about RL is the way fans can interact without aggro (on the whole).
Unfortunately some of my extended family are Cas fans so I could do with us bringing home the bacon this week.
