It's amazing what happens when some logic is applied to a situation!

Totally agree with you although before reading your post I was thinking that we will struggle against cas



Yes our outside backs are fairly evenly matched you are right, specially now we have mcb



We have them in the forwards for me. Plus we have Dave!



Cas like us have a very good full back playing in the halfs

No one has seen Renoylds play for us yet but I agree with the early poster he's no kid and should know his roll



It looks like we have one of our main strike players in

woody playing where as mcshane will not play for cas at hooker



Plus we can field a strong bench



This is going to be a very even match

A lot will depend on rocky and renoylds play and our kicking game



I'm going with wakey by 4

Personally I would have liked BJB to play full back & put young kershaw on the wing then at least we have a player who can tackle at FB & a good tackler in the wing, Controversial I know but we need to know we're covered in those areas

Full back play has changed since BJB played there.

His kick return is second to none but his link in the line which our game plan really needs would need to be relearned so I'd stick with Max.

BJB plated FB for us a few years back and it went badly IMO. Max is a better FB and BJB is a really good winger and thats how I think it should stay. Kershaw will get his chance but not over Easter, it could break the kid.

I actually liked the Horo BJB combination for their defensive efforts last week. Even though it was an enforced move I thought they worked pretty well together

To me its not too much about the teams as I see them pretty even, its more around A) How clinical we are when in an attacking position B) Playing that 80m pitch as good if not better than Cas C) Mindset of players knowing we haven't beat them in 5yrs!!

With MCB in the squad it makes it a little easier.

Agree re the Porn Star at the side of BJB last week, the only slight issue for me is if he played at centre, could he do the full 80?

I say that as i think the bench will be full of forwards!

If MCB plays I agree. Love the Porn start tag for horo

Sorry to disappoint you about Reynolds. Yes , he is a very good goal kicker, but his tactical kicking from the hand was very poor, while his lack of pace meant he could never take on the defence. So I do not know what matches you saw him shine in, all I can remember is him kicking 9 goals and a try when we put 50 past a virtual Wigan A team. Most Leigh fans were up in arms because he was always preferred in stead of Raidyard by the then coach Jukes. As for Hampshire, he was also very disappointing but was played mainly at full back, but I do admit he has been very impressive when playing for Wakefield.

If his distribution is ok and he guide us round the park and kick some goals, that will be just fine.

There is enough pace in the squad elsewhere with BJB, Lyne, Caton Brown, Hampshire and Fifita, assuming you saw his break last week

.



With Brough and Miller missing, it's distribution and kicking duties that need to be filed.



IIRC, he played in 2 pre season games and he certainly went ok and if I'm honest, I'm not sure how he's got on while at Fev but, let's see how he goes.

There's plenty of experience around him so, hopefully he'll grab his chance with both hands.

He made 76 appearances for you and scored 23 tries for you according to Wiki. Think you’re being a touch blinkered as assuming those stats are true they are pretty good by any standards! I accept that a lot of that would have been in the championship but all the same.



Against us obviously

ripped us apart in one game, that’s where I first noticed him. No offence but I rarely take much note of fans who go out of their way to slag off a former player though I accept your point of view.



All the same I’ll judge him on what he does for us as every player we have ever signed was rubbish apparently and that includes Fifita and especially Lyne.

sorry guys Horo will get to be made look silly in the centres straight out to slow.



I think we should preserve and go for the win Monday but that is just me probably
