Jason Crookes centre, Lineham on the wing will do |

Agree that's why I didn't quote that bit of the post. I've dropped Houghton in my selection  |

Forgot about tickle, yeah swap him and galea, although if Wilf is right and Crooks is out, then Yeaman shoud be back in.
Cas have too good centres, so to I woud go with Yeaman and whiting, I like whiting in the backrow, but we have good cover there and the right hand cdefence needs tightening. Paying Crookes who has very little experience at paying centre, could be very dangerous. |

I just don't see too many changes myself, what room for manouvre does he have?
If Crooks is injured then probably Arundel plays unless he tries Crookes. He won't drop Yeaman and rightly so, I'd stick with him. Watts coming back means a forward will be dropped, Pits probably. Then DJ for Seymour.

Maybe the Cas game is just right for Arundel?
Its obvious Seymour won't play now so Horne and Westerman for me.
I say that because nothing else has worked so far, and Westerman has been poor for me, so maybe a change might do him good?
Worry is however you toss it around, it doesnt look good on paper!
I would just settle for some fookin passion and will to win!

Told he was injured, but not bicep. I have my doubts he will play. Jack Briscoe? To be honest, I can't see Yeamo being dropped. |

I can see Cas winning this one, Webster looks to be in good form and I can see Carney smashing through your right hand side defence. Should be a good game.

I wouldn't want to see a half back combo of Westerman and Horne, if Holdsworth isn't fit I'd have considered Nicklas. |

They have 2 half backs also. Carney's an absolute monster. |

Pressure will really be on if we lose this one. Simple for me - if holdsworth plays we win, if he doesn't we'll probably lose

just what i was thinking a cas win without holdsworth and fc if he plays.
chase will want to have a stormer as well after all that went on in the press Que him scoring and kissing his badge and ellis looks solid for them too. a very tough game this week! |

| Quote ="hesslefan"I think one improvement that has got to be made is when the interchanges take place. Many other teams performances seem to improve when they start interchanging players and up the pace; ours seems to drop and the new players take time to settle in.
When Heremaia came on on Saturday it looked like he had been training with a different team; no one was putting themselves in a position to receive a pass. I don't know whether that is down to him, the other players or more probably the coaching.
Similarly I do not know why Lynch is being substituted more regularly. He generally played 70 or 80 minutes each game last season without any drop in performance. It seems a waste of an interchange but then we are not party to the information the coaching staff have about player's fitness etc.
Westerman also needs to up his game. He has scored tries but is just as likely to try a risky and unsuccessful offload or give a penalty away. He is a very talented player but =#0080FFI'm not sure about his work ethic. He should be capable of doing for us what John Wilkin does for Saints and Sinfield for Leeds; a skilful mobile forward who can lead by example and even play in the backs if required.
I think Cas will be a difficult match. They have signed some very experienced players. Their problem will be keeping them fit throughout the year.
As a final comment about Seymour - and I am aware of the news a lttle while ago. I appreciate that his confidence may have taken a knock with all the news about other half backs coming in etc but all he needed to do on Saturday was put in a competent - not brilliant, just competent - performance and he would at least have stayed in the squad or started if Holdsworth is not fit. As a professional we were entitled to at least that.
Having said all that I retain a degree of optimism about the season as a whole!'"
He's our leading tackler, leading marker tackler, and 7th in carries (2 of those above him have played 80 minutes in all 5 games, another 2 are the hookers so pick up the ball more than any other players naturally). Of all criticisms that can be levelled at him, I'm not sure his work ethic is one of them.
I really don't know what Westerman needs to do to not be singled out for criticism. Even when he's the best of a bad bunch he specifically gets a mention whilst others are overlooked. |
