Judging by what I heard Radford say, the injuries picked up on Friday aren't likely to keep them out for Cas, I'm thinking Ellis will be out though. Lineham should be allowed to rest and get his fitness up again so give Lancaster a go as that kid can score tries for fun. Shaul I reckon should be back in fit now that he's had a few weeks rest but I think Rankin is doing a decent enough job.
Assumes Shaul, Sa, Lineham, Ellis, Westerman, Whiting and Green unavailable. Good luck to whoever has to mark Carney.
Radford will have more of an eye on the Easter programme to try and get Ellis.Westerman,Green and Shaul fit rather than risk them at Cas. If Hadley is fit from the Groin injury and Cunningham cleared your team for Cas is pretty much on the mark but I think Lineham will be fit to play. Feka needs to step up as Cas and start hitting hard in the tackle

If Cunningham isn't fit we have to give Howarth a run out to give Houghton a break during the game, otherwise what was the point of signing him?
I agree the likes of Ellis, Westerman etc shouldn't be risked if they aren't fit.
What did Lineham do? I like Lancaster but Lineham is invaluable carrying it off our line, it's like another forward. We lose a lot of physicality with Lancaster there instead. I'd still like to see Talanoa at centre with Lancaster outside him.
The one who sounded like he would definitely be out is Ellis, the rest were minor knocks. If we were riding high I might say save them for Easter, but this is another must win game.

Line hak appared to be carrying a knock all game, but he does have an unusual walk so it's hard to tell!

Problem is, is Lancaster up to marking Carney? He might score tries and have pace to burn but has his defence being worked on? Lineham v Carney is a good match up and with Talanoa inside of him that's a tough edge to break through. Having Micheals (great tackler) alongside Lancaster gives us a a lot of pace on that flank.
Personally I'd rather have Rankin in and isn't he 'in form', so it's down to Shaul to oust him from the starting line up, that's what Radford stated how things would be no?
