Well the good news is we have no disciplinary cases this week.

Selection choices for Mark could be a problem after the Warrington game. Plenty on here have criticised him for changing a winning side, so what does he do now? Stick with the team that demolished Warrington or bring in the likes of Dagger, Kaye, Whitbread, anyone returning from injury.

Remember after the Hull game, teams get a 2 week break due to CC weekend, this’ll give Trinity and Cas extra time to get fresh bodies back in contention for an extremely crucial game. I’ve always believed putting out the strongest team, but sometimes a coach needs horses for courses, thankfully team selection isn’t my problem.

Coming back soon will be Salabio and Griffin. Injury returnees Franco, Whitbread and Tanginoa.

Ugo Tison, Liam Kaye and head injury assessment cock up Will Dagger. That’s a brilliant situation for us in what is effectively the business end of the season.

When is Griffin available et les trois Francais?



I knew my GCE French (failed) would come in useful sometime. (could someone mark my work, not sure if it was plural -les, or singular le as it is a group of 3.)

I was talking to a friend before the game saying I'd out Griffin in when he's free and probably at Ashurst's expense.

Then Ashurst has a stormer. Not easy choices.

Vous avez raison Phe13.

Think at a pinch, he could put Whitbread in for Eseh ,though i do rate him But after the way all 17 played ,in attack and defence got to be the same again for me. And I know there is players in that team I do not rate ,but was shocked by the way they played .was well worth the 5 mile plus walk to get to the ground to watch it

Magnifique, old cock.....I believe both Griffin and Salabio are both eligible to play against Cas ??

Griffin definitely available for Cas game.



From what I saw yesterday, Hood was having issues with his shoulder all game and I thought Bowes struggled, so I would think Kaye could figure somewhere in the hooker role.



Whitbread for young Eseh would another I would imagine

Plus we've got Ugo Tison to cover hooker as well...could step in for one of them this week ??

If fit I would put Whitbread in just for his work rate. Eseh looked a little jaded yesterday I thought. I would be tempted to keep Lino and Gale as I thought the relief of having Gale there allowed Lino to play a little bit more relaxed - and it showed. I'm not a Lino fan either...credit where it's due. I would put Kersh in for Lineham. I know Lineham has been trying but I can't warm unfortunately. Kersh could have done everything Lineham did yesterday, and I reckon that Kersh would have made that ground and scored with no need to kick on the first!. Other than that I'm not sure I'd change anything. At a bit of a loss what to do with Dagger but thems the breaks where you are playing well?

I'm not really a fan of either of those two but Lineham never put a foot wrong yesterday and certainly doesn't deserve dropping. Kershaw would outpace for an intercept for sure but he's more likely to spill one of those high kicks to the corner most times and runs laterally far more than Lineham.

I agree. I like Kersh and I'd have probably picked him over Lineham but Tom defended those kicks and returned with interest.
