For now, it’s a no brainer.

Foster at centre; Minikin outside him.

Gelling or equivalent quality in ASAP.
Foster at centre and Minikin outside him i agree.

JSL and Clarkson at 2nd row both can do 80mins it seems

Holmes, Milner, Cook, a other.

Mill back week after so he would start and moors to bench

Does anyone else think Oggy Holmes would be a better fit as a middle with Jessie staying wide left. As much as Oggy is a solid and reliable player I just don’t think he has the flair to play wide and plays often stop when they get to him, in the same way I feel JSL is wasted in the middle. I think swapping them over would be an solution. Oggys very solid defence and graft would be welcome.

???? Infinitely? The week before he kicked 2 from touch and found ground all game from clever kicks from hand. Rankin is doing fine, get Foz and Mcmeeken beside him and we will be dangerous down both flanks.
Am not saying Aston is the better player but however many question marks you put,he has kicked more goals at a higher percentage than Rankin,plus more 40/20's and has better touch finding distance. Which in my humble opinion would make him a better kicker. As for being a better player,who knows till you're given a shot,but with Rankins average metres gained not being in the top ten for Cas he's hardly setting the world alight. So yep would give Aston his shot.

I’ve always thought oggy is just a little too short in the big areas of the big players, and always will be..

Oliver Holmes ball skills let him down unfortunately and he isn’t a very good passer of the ball

I have to agree with this. He gives his all but at times last season he got the ball out wide last season and took the wrong options.

Oliver was good enough to go on tour with the knights last season, for me the lad is one of the best second rowers in our league I and for one welcome his return.

Does anyone else think our right hand side next year will be.
HB Truman
SR McMeeken
C Rankin
W Minikin

I think in attack’s that would be pretty good.

I’m not saying he’s bad . He is a very good player in fact If you ever watch any videos with cas players they will all say they don’t like running at him and training . And Michael Shenton put him in his all time best team who he had played with . He is solid in defence and runs good lines . Just think his passing skills aren’t as good as some others . Just coz a player isn’t necessarily good at one attribute mean he’s a bad player

More chance of it being 2 new signings, Clare back up and Minikin still to earn a deal beyond this year yet.

That's one of the reasons why I'd have him working further in-field where, like Massey, he can punch above his size.

I've posted before that play down the left can stop when Oggy gets the ball and that's not me having a go, I just think he has a different skill set to say, JSL. It's all about getting the balance right.
