Myler, GOB, Ratch and Bridge all in the squad. Looks like R&B aren't getting paired. Either that or both GOB and Myler miss out.



Probably will see:



Russell

Evans

Atkins

Bridge

JMonas

Ratch

Myler



But would prefer:



Russell

Evans

Atkins

Grix

JMonas

Bridge

Ratch

What ever he decides to go with, he needs to start thinking of the play offs. To close to end of season to be playing around with selections.

I think that is true, and looking at the 19 seems to confirm that TS takes the same view. My guess is that he will use Laithwaite because he wants him match fit and available. Not too sure about GOB.

I believe Cas are resting a few big players for this game!

1 Jordan Tansey

8 Andy Lynch

9 Adam Milner

12 Weller Hauraki

13 Nathan Massey

16 Oliver Holmes

18 Frankie Mariano

19 Scott Wheeldon

20 Jamie Ellis

21 Ashley Gibson

23 Michael Channing

24 James Clare

26 Liam Finn

28 Ben Reynolds

31 Brad Day

32 Lee Jewitt

35 Garreth Carvell

33 Will Maher

30 Jordan Howden

Given that its so close to the playoffs and this game is a must-win really, now is the time to field our strongest team and build some momentum back up.

Cas are resting Shenton, Dixon, Dorn, Webster, Sneyd & Clark. I would expect Lynch and Mariano/Holmes to drop out of that 19.

Agreed, we should treat this game like its Castlefords strongest team!

Smith has tried every possible half back combination we have so far this season and yet nobody can say for sure who will play 6 and 7 this friday. With only four rounds of the regular season left that is totally unacceptable in my book. He should have decided on his preferred pairing by now and stuck with them.

Whenever Myler is fit.....He has played.

Let's hope he doesn't get a nice cheap shot putting him out for the season then eh?
