Not just today the game being off impacts;

• We now have to make up 2 games somehow.
• Game off also means that Watts still has to serve 2 games and won't be back for Wakefield and Holmes won't be back for Leeds either on Friday. Hopefully Wardle is available.

Olly will be gutted. He really wanted to play at a Elland Road.

2. He would have been back vs Wakefield after missing Wigan today and Leeds on Fri.

Will now miss Leeds and Wakey and be back for Warrington on Easter Monday. Which could be good giving us a fresh body over that period to rotate with Millo.

Gives us an extra week off for the leeds game. They will be getting over the saints game so we should be fresher. Also means we will be playing the 2 missed games hopefully on a dry track rather than a mud bath. Win win for Cas in my eyes to be honest.

Looked at the table, win our 2 in hand, go joint top.
Piece of wee on paper, if only the game was played on paper like top trumps.

Personally, I don't think anyone playing likes the weeks off, you get fit without games, but you don't get hardened and sharp.

Hope it works for us.

The negative is that you get a backlog of fixtures later in the season, risking more injuries from back to back games which could hinder both our ability to compete in the cup and make the top 4 playoffs.

Adding to the above, these 2 fixtures need to be played before the 8's split, so between now and July, we will be playing 2 games in the space of 4 days 3 times. Makes me thankful we have quite a deep squad.

Wouldn't it have just been easier to reverse the fixtures, playing the away game first?

Forecast for Easter is also quite bad so potentially 2 more games lost. That would be a nightmare scenario.

Makes the recruitment of Watts look like a masterstroke with essentially a pack for each game.

Millo
McShane
Moors
Holmes
McMeeken
Massey


Watts
Milner
Cook
Foster
Wardle
JSL

With Springer, Clark, Aston, Green as deputies.
