Don't start backtracking, you blamed the club (twice)

Put Balmforth on the bench as replacement hooker get him prepped for next season, physically looks ready.

If Johnstones surplus to requirements for not being good enough, play the highly rated youngster, its what Saints, Wigan or Leeds would do

Read it again, I replied to my own post from Tuesday where I had Shaul in, saying that now Shaul is out go with JJ or a young player.

This is what you said, inferring that the coaching team “tried to bring Carlos back too early “

any score predictions to lighten the mood ?

FC 16-14

I was surprised when I watched the reserves highlights how big he was, the thing is he doesn't look heavy on his feet with it, looks very agile.

Showed great pace and step for his try too, looks a prospect, honestly think he d do more than Johnstone for us off the bench

I'm sure he'll be on the bench soon. He's part of the matchday squad so the coaches are getting him ready. He's only been here five minutes though, and there's no rush.

Still 5th. Well done Wakey. Great game. Hammer Hudds tomorrow and we'll be 4th. Let the good times roll

Really entertaining match - Lino was magical. He'd be a good option in our halves next season!

I was thinking the same about Lino.

I like your optimism, need a +56 point swing for that to happen. I think we'll win but no more than 8 points in it. We are in the circle restaurant for some pre-match nosh.

Shame Sheffield tickets are not on sale till Monday, will have to make do with picking up Pie's tickets.

He was my pick to replace Reynolds, lino would sti be under contract so would require a fee, great all round halfback though, but seems we've signed Trueman.

Tell you what though in a struggling Cas team, Truemans looked a threat his support plays top notch. Seems to always be there when teammates make a clean break.

where did the Trueman rumour come from?
Normally you hear a snippet from the players club supporters but havnt seen or heard anything.
very decent half back in my opinion.very good short kicking game and would go well with our first choice pack if we ever get them on the field together

Matt Shaw mentioned us a few months back, but said any chance of a deal was way off.

I've seen it mentioned a few times from various people.

I'll believe it when I see it. Just hope if we've signed him we haven't paid overs. Leeds, Wire and the NRL were all seen as options at one point for him

Three year deal?

One thing is that Shenton is really well placed to assess what he might bring

O/T but a great day for the underdogs today - Wakefield, and now Toulouse beating Saints. Amazing!

So if we win tomorrow we are two points off the top.

Our scrum half probably helped get the best out of him too

I really enjoyed the Warrington - Wakey game. Entertaining end to end stuff.
The Saints result does beg the question of how they'd fare if they get the sort of extended injury list they've managed to avoid for the past few years...

Agree on both points. Said it a couple of times, Toulouse will be no mugs at home in the height of summer. Could be an interesting relegation battle.

And the Grand Finalists will love being a part of it!!

They might also see Tony Smith popping back to Headingley shortly. The Leeds fans seem keen for him to replace their current Coaching Genius!

O/T However, just seen France v England spend 4 minutes to set up one scum, that went with the head anyway. Clock didn’t stop. That’s 5% of the match.

Good job it was on Free to View!!

there is a lot of incentive to win this Game
We want to be a strong home team to start with as that’s a given for any GF aspirations

we would really be holding our position in the league and yes we need to win 2 on the trot and we are playing a non traditional big name at the home of a big name !

getting close to the 9 games mark as well
