Be harsh to leave Clare out after his performance against Salford. But on the other hand, Jy had Hall in his back pocket last year at Headingley.
Yup a tough one.
Hall struggles with quick off the mark runners but has the height advantage
Depends on what DP has up his sleeve.

We need to win the middle first before anything else. Time for a few to up the Ante and put a shift in.

Jy also struggled in the Grand Final versus Briscoe in the air. For me, he has pace but they are better in the air. Clare is taller - no brainer for me in that sense - him every time.

Going to be a tough one, if we just had one of Jesse, wardle, Oli or watts available I would be a lot more confident. Just worry without some of those big guys we may get on the back foot a little. Glad we didn't risk jnr the other week now!

I know it's no where near a perfect science but based on squad numbers both teams have 13 out of their 'starting' 17 in there (I know not perfect). So injuries on both sides of the fence.

Really hope shenny has got over his injury and is available to play.

I thought Leeds kicking game Vs saint was really poor in the first half, and it's one area that we have struggled with Vs leeds in recent years, hopefully having Ellis can turn that in our favour a tad

Leeds have had a good defence in the last couple of games so I hope Ellis puts plenty of Grubber kicks through for us the chase. Keep turning them around and we will score tries. Trying to steam roll through them is not the way to beat this Leeds team.

Stenton. What injury. He played against Salford and was in squad for Wigan game.

Have I missed something

Last three games Cas have leaked just 36 points an average of 12 per game. Leeds have had 59 points scored against them an average of around 20 points per game. So how are they defensively stronger than us?
cum on you Ford

And we have 5 plus a dodgy FB and no game time.

Hope I'm wrong but it all points to a Leeds win.

Be much stronger once we get watts, holmes and Wardle all in 17.

If that is the case would we be best moving Minikin over to the left centre

IF Shenton is missing I would go

Truman
Minikin
Roberts
Webster
Clare
Ellis
Gale
Millington
Mcshane
Springer
McMeeken
Foster
Milner

Massey
Moors
Cook
Green

I like to see halfbacks being able to play a bit of full back allows them to see a bit of the game and chime into the line when they see an opportunity.

That choice is laughable, why would You put Truman at full back who has not played there against arguably one of our toughest opponents this year and move one of our most creative players who has been playing full back to centre where he has also never played… put webster at hooker while your at it…. Common sense would be jy webster … minikin and clare if shenny was injured

Roberts has played centre at times for us and most half backs get started at full back and you want to play minikin at centre against arguably on of the best attacking centres in the league. We know one of Roberts strongest points is in the defence. Don’t see at laughable but that’s typical of this board if you don’t agree ridicule.

i think Daryl will go with foster in the centres if Shenton is unfit, we need some one to watch Watkins the last few games Watkins as played very well
