Some serious problems at half as well as in the front row! Whos you bet for 6 and 7? Suppose its Hyde and Obst. Thought Wilde might of been in with shout with BJ out.

Whats wrong with Jeremy Smith and Motu Tony for your lot, I would have thought they would have made your squad but then again I would have thought Jeffries would too.

Toss up between Veivers and Blaymire for FB, is Spiers a prop, if so, he could make the 17 otherwise it two specialist props and Johnson, who by all accounts has done very well but is classed as a second row/centre on the club website.

Smith doesn't have his visa yet, Tony is injured. God know whats up with BJ!

Smith hasn't got a Visa and Tony broke his arm.

Smith - work permit
Tony - injured
BJ - Injured/sold to catalans, presumably???

Oh right I thought he had got the visa thing sorted, whats wrong with Tony then.

Thats probably the strongest I could come up from that 19.

Tomorrow can't come quick enough can it looking at that? it really is awful when we're down to the bare bones in week 1. Millennium Tragic.

Tony is out for a few weeks with a broken hand I think. Kear said he was hopeful of Smith getting his visa for this weekend, but that doesn't appear to of happened.

Shame then for you that with Tony, Very good player when fit but the last couple of years it just seems to have been one injury after another with him. Bit too bigger risk to take with him really especially when you dont really have a big enough squad to carry him.

Whats up with Jeffries & Penny??? Sorry but with that line up I can't see us getting anything other than a battering.

Sorry Tigerman! i'm trying to purge myself of smiley faces on the end of all posts (i'm practicing for lent) so other posters must try and determine themselves, my irony/sarcasm level. you clearly failed!

He's on a play as you play contract so the club are not 'carrying' him as such.

penny and BJ

Have been garbage so far... not a surprise really,

Might give ben n kevin a kick up the arris.

Harsh on Blaymire maybe but we need Vievers' goalkicking even more now Jeffries is out. Wouldn't blood Spiers just yet, maybe a couple of games into the season when the glare isn't quite as big. The rest pretty much picks itself really.

No Jeffries, Kieron Hyde starts at No.6, Russ Spiers starts in the 17 as well.

It's gonna be a long hard season!!
Can see me spending pretty much all of the Cas game in a bar.Cheap ticket anyone?

and there I was looking at the squad and thinking did not look bad we have a chance. Its not as if Cas are exactly Queensland !

Didn't look bad? it's full of no names and Championship quality players! Cas might not be Queensland but they have SL quality players across the board with a couple of internationals sprinkled in

Cas 19 man squad for those who are interested.
Mathers,
Dixon,
Youngquest,
Arundel,
Chase,
Orr,
Jackson,
Hudson,
Huby,
Emmitt,
Snitch,
Ferres,
Jones,
Walker,
Milner,
Isa,
Fozzard,
Holmes,
Widders

We wouldn't need to be Queensland, that Wakey squad would be hard pushed to be Queens in Leeds

Enjoy the moment mate because it wont last for long..........

Unfortunately I agree and that we wll be on the wrong end of a hammering on Saturday night but its just one result - one game.

We have far more exciting and successful times to look forward to apart from 80 minutes against Cas this weekend.

He who laughs last.................

You going to be laughing in the Championship? rich owners mean NOTHING just because they have money what says they'll spend it? businessmen don't make money throwing cash at Rugby teams that have no crowds and make massive losses.

Unfortunately, I wouldn't be surprised if they accepted Championship rugby just to get the club running self sufficiently first before having another crack at SL when the TV money is more and the club is more settled.
