Applegarth didn't sound too sure Kelepi would be ready this week though and with hamstring injuries you don't really want to risk it if not 100%. If he doesn't make then i guess Proctor (if back) plays that role, short spells might get more out of him with the ball. Mash was the same with Bowden, back within the next couple of weeks i think it was. As big a game as it is them breaking down midway through it and then being out another 6 weeks would be curtains so only play them if fully fit.
Can’t disagree with that. If we aren’t confident they can pull through they shouldn’t be risked.
I don’t know what combination of forwards we’ll use but the props especially need to step up. Can’t think of a game were we haven’t been beaten in the pack.

Salford away I believe we were more dominant but came out the wrong side.

No matter who plays for us we still lose this game , the key is McShane, if he doesn’t play we lose by 12 - 16 points , if he does we lose by 16 - 40 points . This is the same McShane who we let go and who went on to lead a team to Old Trafford and CC final . The Cas squad is so much stronger than ours in all departments .

McShane never wanted to be at Wakey but needed a club to get out of the championship. He was shipped out with a couple of other guys who weren't up for the fight and we were lucky enough to pick up Scott Moore. He's done very well at Cas but he was uninterested whilst with us and the swap suited both him and more importantly us.
This world was never meant for one as beautiful as me.

I have zero faith we will win this game, can only see us getting Cas's season started. Miller will probably rip us apart just to rub it in.

Jeez you guys are happy people.
I'm not overly confident of a win but I'm not confident of a loss either. And just as a win doesn't make us safe, a loss doesn't put us down. We've struggled to score but so have Cas. We've been heavily beaten to zero and so have Cas. We've got an inexperienced coach and so have Cas.
It isn't a given we'll lose. I'll be there supporting to give them any smidgen of faith in themselves. If we lose I'll be depressed on the way home....but I'll be there the week after too.
I also believe in Santa and although people tell me I shouldn't, I get presents every year.

I would go with realists based on the evidence this season. I know we have been bad in the past but averaging 6 points a game does not generate a lot of optimism. I would hope the club get their act together for supporters like PT because to be honest currently they don’t. I on the other hand have long since lost any faith in the decisions of those at the top, who quite frankly don’t deserve the supporters like PT who is probably considered rational on most matters except when it comes to Wakefield Trinity. I really hope we show some spirit especially being on Sky because to many outside we are once again a club of derision and embarrassment and we the supporters don’t deserve this.
