It’s a massive game windy, I hope they are all on it Friday.

Sure is , I think we might target the cup this season , knowing how far saints and wire are in front of everybody in the league and knowing the play offs are top 5. I fancy us on Friday then it’s just luck 0f the draw or on the day if we get a tough one .

The full 19-man squad:

2. Bureta Faraimo
4. Josh Griffin
6. Albert Kelly
7. Marc Sneyd
8. Scott Taylor
9. Danny Houghton
11. Dean Hadley
12. Mark Minichiello
13. Joe Westerman
14. Jake Connor
15. Chris Green
19. Masi Matongo
20. Brad Fash
21. Sika Manu
23. Mickey Paea
24. Jack Logan
32. Cameron Scott
33. Ratu Naulago
34. Gareth Ellis

… begs the question who plays fullback?

Logan/Scott @centre has to be a risk.

Connor , Scott yo centre I reckon

Looks like Kieran Buchanan is cup-tied.

Thats a stupid thing to do.I thought Radford pulled all FC players on D/R or loan out for cup matches
I was expecting him to play full back on Friday so we could move Connor back to centre.
Now we have a weak centre for Castleford to exploit

It's easy to say that in hindsight, but who thought Buchanan would be anywhere near getting a game this season?

Connor
Faraimo
Scott
Griffin
Naulago
Kelly
Sneyd

That would be my preferred 1-7, although I have a feeling Radford will prefer Logan to Scott.

There is no way he would (Or should,) have put a player who has never played FB at the top level in a game like this, I know he has played a massive 3 games or so at FB for Doncaster 2 in a part time league, but that's about it, his main position us centre.

I'd be more worried if we had him at FB than Scott or Logan at centre.

Trust me. We are awful outside the second rowers so we won't exploit anything. We have even dropped Eden!! For Clare!!

No McShane for us but we have Rankin, Jesse and Cook back. Still no Moors or Millington though.
