Oliver WILKES

Andy RALEIGH

Ali LAUITIITI

Steve SOUTHERN

Danny WASHBROOK

Paul AITON

Kyle AMOR

Danny KIRMOND

Tim SMITH

Kyle TROUT

Lucas WALSHAW

Paul SYKES

Why wouldn't he be? We are awash with front rowers

Sykes still in but PJ out?

This means Southern will be playing prop

Hope Sykes gets left out.

Wehave another game Monday so maybe to keep him fresh as he is our least experienced prop.

Would hope we see a few new faces Monday such as moriano, Ellis, wildie to have a few players who have not played the Friday game and ready to come in whilst allowing others to be fully rested for Leeds.

I would hope he would rotate a few for monday but i have my doubts. But i wouldn't have rested anyone for this one, let alone a prop. And if PJ is injured why not replace him with Matt James who is, err, a prop?

Really depends on how they perform on Friday doesn't it? If they do well and no injuries I wouldn't expect any coach to change the team for Monday - but I don't think it would be unreasonable for some changes to be made if they surrender on Friday. In my opinion they would by that time have had long enough to gel and I would make one or two subtle changes and give the likes of Ellis and Wildie a runout.

Not got a good feeling about this one

- Richard Owen 2 - Nick Youngquest 4 - Kirk Dixon 5 - Josh Griffin 6 - Rangi Chase 7 - Danny Orr (c)
8 - Jake Emmitt 9 - Daryl Clark 11 - Brett Ferres 12 - Jonathan Walker 13 - Steve Snitch 14 - Stuart Jones
15 - Adam Milner 17 - Lee Mitchell 20 - Grant Millington 21 - Oliver Holmes 22 - Nathan Massey 23 - Ryan McGoldrick
25 - Jordan Thompson


James Grehan and Ryan Hudson drop out and must be in contention for Monday.

Cas squad

Just target McGoldrick, Owen and Griffin and we'll be alright.

Oh Paul!

I have!

This is the biggest game of the season, not because its Cas, but because its a home fixture against lowly opposition.
An absolute must win.
I'm not bothered about the game on Monday, which anything is a bonus but, this is a massive game
COME ON TRIN !

Me too, which is good as i didnt have last week!

Wonder if R.A. will go with the following:-

Mathers
Fox
Collis
Mellars
Cockayne
John
Smith
Amor
Aiton
Raleigh
Kirmond
Lauititi
Washbrook
Subs:- Wilkes, Southern, Walshaw, Wood.

I think Johnson (icon_cool.gif will be in the 17 for Monday along with Trout (13), Ellis(9), Mariano (12), Sykes (at 3) & Wildie (at 7).

Its a chance to have a look at other players against Wigan and save your 'best 17' for Leeds as it'd be another lifeless/low energy performance against Wigan (like it was for some reason against London) otherwise. I think R.A. would be crazy to do anything other than this.

We are talking like Johnson is the first name on the sheet. He works hard but wouldn't bust a soap sud. We are desperate for a prop.

I heard Cockayne is struggling with an ankle injury, must be ok if he's in the squad.

A Tongan one perhaps? Or maybe a Samoan?

A real big hard lad that likes being nasty, plus is there owt about johnson he might be carring a knock?

One that barely fits in a plane seat.

Could do with MOI MOI.

Would be awesome to bring the car crash to belle vue.

Roy Asotasi fit the bill? He's 32 and coming to the end with South Sydney. Maybe looking for a final pay day with 2 more years in Super League before he retires?

Going back to Johnson he runs hard and although about 16 stone is really another second row playing out of position at prop. He was one of the best WTW forwards last season and is solid & durable.

I like him & R.A. was quite complimentary about him at the beginning of the season. I hope he pulls up trees on Monday against Wigan, brakes a few tackles, scores a try and proves doubters wrong

Just watched the Souths vs Tigers game from last weekend; he busted a 2 man tackle, ran over another 2 and eventually got pulled down just before the line, leading to a try that saved the game for Souths.

The lad's a wrecking ball - him and Big Dave Taylor would do nicely, ta.

I thought Moi Moi was still at the Eels?

Sorry - that's what I meant; watched 3 NRL games back to back and got all confuzzled!
