6 first teamers missed out last night. Obviously Sneyd won't make it, Ellis highly unlikely. Do we think Taylor, Mini, Houghton or Green will return to "boost" our chances? Not really got insight but hunch would be these 4 will come into contention.

Thought sneyd was back for the cup game , didn't he travel in the squad to Catalan other week ?

No, was a decision to make about whether to have season-ending surgery or get a boot on him and let the injury heal for 8 weeks. We went for the latter to give some chance of being available this year but 6 weeks or so to go I think.

All but sneyd back I reckon.

Hope so, should be cracking game, hope fans turn out in good numbers, and the sun

This. Would be great to have them back. Worried about Sika though.

He's been struggling for weeks with niggling injuries. If Ellis and mini are back it may be prudent to leave manufacturer out and play target so we don't end up an interchange down if he breaks down again

You've just unintentionally come up with a good nickname there. The Manu-Facturer.

Sika was outstanding first half last night. Hopefully just taken off with game all but won. If he was carrying a knock going into game it certainly never showed. Him watts and Bowden battered there defence last night.

Junior Moors on crutches after game. Looked bad. Nice boost for you.

Has he been to the Tim Sheens triage of doom?

I'll see your junior moors and raise you mark sneyd, gareth ellis, danny houghton, chris green, scott taylor, mark minichello and sika manu.

No wonder Cas are hot favourites with the bookies, even before our absentee list is confirmed...

Need to stop eden after his 5 tries today making 5 hat tricks in the last six games. I'm pretty sure I'd score 30 tries a year on the wing at cas

Oh no. Not Mrs B's mind games again. Cas dont stand a chance now.

Are Cas favourites?

Ladbrokes have them odds on at 1/2.

Yes.

Lordy.

.... not quite as good as Leeds @ 1/50.

Will all these still be out on Sunday??

Our backs should be at full strength unless injury in training this week. Pack is a little light with recent injuries to Moors, Cook, Springer, Maher and long terms Patrick and Oggy Holmes.

Sneyd will definitely be out. Houghton was illness so should play. I dont honestly know about any of the others, but I would imagine at least a couple will be back.

What's surprising ? I'm certainly not gunna say we will win but we are "run away" leaders so of course the bookies will make us favourites for the game at the weekend. 1/2 is fairly slight by what have been at timea this year, we were 1/10 today and 1/80 against Widnes.
