That’s strange because he was back playing for Salford reserves this weekend.

It was quoted as another short term loan so probably only a couple of weeks like with us. Barrow needed to cover someone injured or suspended.

If Milkys fit he plays, If Jowitts fit he plays, or in the centres if we have any injuries there. They are the only positions I would play Gaskell in. I`m sure he is able to cover other positions but not in the pack. The Wigan game was is first 1st team outing after injury and your wanting to put him against Westerman & co. We need our forwards firing to play Cas, not a back player out of position in the pack.

totally agree - put all into winning Thursday - rest payers who need it for the wigan game

if we are to make top 6 (where we are now ) it will be by winning games against cas .

Certainly need to target the Cas game with such short turn around as I fear the Wigan game will non other than an away loss ,and looking at our youngsters scoreline against them it looks like they have a great crop coming through that Wigan system as well as the current first team. Having said that we have plenty of youngsters banging on the door of first team duties ,and those that having been given their chance have done themselves the power of good and not only competed at the higher level but also enhanced the first team’s performances

Willie did such a good job with getting players contacting previous players about what it was like to play for Wakefield Trinity.
Perhaps we could do with some of the same in terms of what the "Adam Watene" trophy should mean to this club. Isn't that usually at stake the first time we meet each season? Breaks my heart that they have had it for so long now - I want it back!!

After we beat Cas on thursday (have faith) wouldn't it feel good to rub a little salt in their wound after all our suffering at their hands over the last few years by playing "Sweet Caroline" at full blast over the tannoy !

No, it’s awful.

Correct.

I’d agree though I’m not bothered if it’s Miller or Gaskell tbh.

Totally agree. Overall Chester did ok but one of the things that contributed to his demise at trinity was him putting square pegs in round holes. Gaskell has never been a forward and we have 3/4 loose options available who know that position. I can see why it maybe worth a look but there’s just no necessity for it atm.

Couldn't care less so long as we win, I'll song it meself if it helps.

I think the trophy is played for at the home fixture of the current holders, or at least it was, so not while the away game.

Anything other than a win is completely unacceptable, we’ve been too happy to bend over for this lot the past 5 or so years. Enough is enough.

50/50 game in my opinion. Prior to the Challenge cup think Wakefield were favourites to be honest but injuries seem to have hit at this particular time.

2 very similar teams both lacking 4-5 first choice players. Presumably Brad walker coming in for batchelor and will play at loose, hopefully fifita and Johnson will play.

Wonder if murph will keep one of the wing spots and Kay revert to interchange hooker
Would be happy with any kind of win

I'd go with

1 Jowitt
2 Johnstone
3 Hall
4 Lyne
5 Murphy
6 Gaskell
7 Lino
8 Fifita
9 Hood
10 Arona
11 Ashurst
12 Pitts
13 Crowther

14 Kay
15 Tanginoa
16 Whitbread
17 Aydin

My only question mark is how Murph would play opposite Eden. He's their big strike player and always has a field day against us. He can't get any space at all. If it needs to be Kay then so be it but I think I'm ok with Murphy
Battye could easily be in front row but I like fresh legs in Aydin

Cas probable line up after injuries

Evalds
Olpherts Mamo Sutcliffe Eden
Trueman Obrien
Watts McShane Massey
Griffin Edwards
Westerman

Matagi Smith Milner Fonua

Unless LR decides to try a couple of young ones over someone who is underperforming.

Think Murphy is getting more confident with each game Was up against a G B winger at Wires and gave as good as he got

Suppose it will all depend on who’s fit and recovered but given our inability to score against Wigan can’t see walker not playing.

Kay has to play as he scored a try last time we beat cas at home - 2013 last time we beat them at bv

I think you are giving Cas a lot of credit comparing their defense to Wigan.
