Ok, bare bones squad, difficult tyo see how we are going to patch together a team, guess it is time for the return of a rejuvenated Eastmond???

Bring back Kyle. Definitely.

Don't think we'll have much choice, we are down to the bare bones.

Nows his chance to make ammends and give something back to the club.

Cas by plenty?

Kyle isn't available. He has a chest infection, out for at least a week.

So....

Makinson
Gardner
Shenton
Meli
Foster
Wilkin
Lomax
Graham
Roby
LMS
Soliola
Magennis
Puletua

Ashurst

Ashurst
Hale
Armstrong/That Kiwi sounding fullback who has been bigged up for about 12 years if he's not available
Forster (The prop)

All three are injured. Forster is out for 12 weeks having had an operation.

Not a fooking clue!

lol - down to the bar bones, without 3 subs + could still probably beat 10/13 teams in SL.

Hard life St. Helen's

They are all obviously ready for the first team then.



I'll go with Josh Greaves, Jordan Hand or Warren Thompson as they all look really fat on their profile pictures on the club website, so perhaps they would be up to it? We don't need any more sparrow legged runts thank you.

Dan Brotherton should get a run, lets see if he's really as fast as he reckons.

Perhaps they could give Tahraoui or Trumper a run instead, just because they have cool names.

You always make me smile Saddened!



I didn't even know we had a Trumper? He just [ihas[/i to play!

Alex Trumper. We could even greet him with adoring trumping sounds like Warrington do with dog sounds for Monaghan.

Moore not playing then?

So long as it's just trumping [isounds[/i!

Most on here wouldn't let him in the country never mind select him for the team. I think he'll play.

Dixon will play too will he not?

Er, I think he's injured ...

The injury crisis of last year was bad, but with the number of players we let go at the end of last season, just now we are in a real mess.

Sounds interesting. A few from the Under 20s getting a surprise call. Been a while since a home game against Castleford has been considered a backs to the wall effort.

Well, with the form they are in it was never going to be a stroll in the park. But yes, on Monday it is definitely going to be a backs to the wall effort. Whether the players from today will have the mental and/or physical resources to have another go at a backs to the wall effort remains to be seen. Quite possibly the u20s guys will relish their chances but heaven knows what we'll get from them!

It will make for an interesting game, albeit possibly a significant loss.

I think you'll beat Cas for what it's worth. Backs to the wall and that.

Cas are currently losing 24-28 at home to Wakefield.

Full tine Cas 24 - Wakey 28.

I told you Cas were in a false position.

That is probably not good news for us. They will want to get back to winning ways on Monday. Great. We have a team wanting to prove a point just when we don't have a team.
