Waif!

Spot on Charlie. I'm still enjoying the season and I think we have a lot of good rugby ahead of us.

Finn.....He isn't done yet. He has broken a finger and isn't in top form but that doesn't mean he is done. We should look ahead but we don't have to panic buy yet.

And Trinity18......... good for you. Your life will change with your weight loss journey. Keep up to it. I lost 3 stone doing Slimming World. You'll feel better. Your heart will thank you and you'll suddenly find there is a life there for you that you've had to avoid because of your weight.
If you ever feel like falling off the wagon....just keep your eye on the goal. Slips happen. Just get back on it. Don't let anyone else take it away from you.

I didn't actually mean for this thread to stray away but I am blown away by the support.

Thank you all for you kind words, I'll be sure to provide updates when necessary.

Here it is, the 19 man squad to play Cas:

Chris Annakin
Tinirau Arona
Joe Arundel
Matty Ashurst
Jordan Baldwinson
James Batchelor
Anthony England
Ryan Hampshire
Keegan Hirst
Craig Huby
Tom Johnstone
Ben Jones-Bishop
Max Jowitt
Reece Lyne
Jacob Miller
Pauli Pauli
Tyler Randell
Bill Tupou
Kyle Wood

Grix and Finn are out and in come Jowitt and Hampshire plus Pauli and Annakin .

This could be huge for Hampshire and if he can show Cas what they are missing then, maybe, just maybe we have a chance ?

That squad really gives a bigger buzz to the game. As always, I love this fixture.

Pity no Fifita though.

So then how does the 17 shape up?

1. Jowitt
2. Johnstone
3. Bully Tupou
4. Lyne
5. Jones-Bishop
6. Milky
7. Rocky
8. England
9. Randell
10. Huby
11. Ashurst
12. Batchelor
13. Arona

Bench:

Chris Annakin
Keegan Hirst
Pauli Pauli
Kyle Wood

So Baldwinson and Arundel miss out for me... although I like Arundel's defence Lyne is in fine form.

This is interesting and I approve. Thought Rocky was great vs Leeds. Looking forward to the game on Friday. I don't think we will win but as someone said earlier, we play exciting rugby - and with Hampshire and Jowitt in the spine - we've got a youthful side with plenty of attacking flair. Hopefully it is a dry track as well.

Also, happy for Pauli Pauli to come back in. Hopefully he has been working hard in training and he's a little bit fitter and chomping at the bit to prove the doubters wrong. There is definitely great potential there if he has the correct mentality.

I bet CC's mind is now at rest knowing he has your approval

I hope it does put his mind a little at rest. He must have been having a few sleepless nights after last Friday

Fifita will play
