If Blair is back and Eden is unavailable, I’d go with:
FB - Rankin
RW - Minikin
RC - Mata’utia
LC - Blair
LW - Clare.

If only DP listen to you eh?

For my money Egodo has the heart of a lion the way he hangs in there...as someone elsewhere said he does keep dropping clangers but by god he does his best to make up for them rather than just backing off or sulking.

He is a project in all senses of the word (area he comes from, position, game sense, etc.) but he won't be earning much and keeps trying.

Also, he threw his lot in to move up to Yorkshire on a low contract and looking at his twitter he NEVER fails to thank and acknowledge the crowd at the Jungle or away...a lot more than some of our 'big name' players bother to do.

well said mate i am certainly not one of the Egodo haters he was against one of the top wingers in the league yesterday and for me he came out on top he droped a couple of balls but on the flip side scored a try almost got another and was in the action that saw Charnley through n in to touch

I thought he did well again. He's playing with yet another centre partner against the second best attack in the league and Charnley against him.

He needs to play consistently to build form. Can we offer him that, probably not. Then he had to decide to wait his turn. Probably wants to play regular.

I've sat back for months reading and hearing what people have been saying about young Egodo and I must say, I'm pretty disgusted with Cas fans on the treatment of him. The way some of you subject him is ridiculous.

On a forum it's fine to vent frustrations, I get that, but some have drawn a line with what they are saying about a 22 year old lad. He's also being targeted on Twitter with fans tagging him in ridicolous posts.

He's 22 FFS! he's come from the other side of the country for an opportunity of a lifetime, it's not worked out for him, but no one deserves what he's gone through the last few month. Grown adults going after a young lad, it's absolute madness.

As i put earlier in the thread the lad has all the correct materials he’s powerful, quite quick, has a good work ethic and can score a try. But what he doesn’t have yet is the knowledge on how to play top level rugby league. He is still learning. Give him a years contract and send him out on loan for the season. Monitor his performances closely and see if the regular game time develops him. His handling issues can be coached, Brian Smith did wonders with Tom Johnstone at Wakey in that regard in a short time by all accounts.

He reminds me of another winger who started shakily and went for a season long loan twice at Batley to learn the game. That player was Jermaine McGillvary and he hasn’t done too badly since.

Well I for one thought he played well going forward but yes he made a couple of defensive errors but that will come to him naturally to tidy up in time.

He is a powerful young gun who made some good runs and made some yards under heavy tackles and can come good in time on his defence.

He reminds me of Mcgillvary at Huddersfield which he never set the winger world on fire when he started out but he has now !

Give this lad some space and time you "quick to criticise" people and he could be great in a couple of years once he has moulded in, otherwise if he's let go, we may be kicking ourselves in the future !

I've just posted exactly at the same time and also referenced him to McGillvary myself !!! Spooky but great minds do think alike !!!!!

Said when McGillvary played against us in the Barrow cup game when they beat us that he'd go on to make a Super League player.

As people have said, the materials are there for Egodo and he's got elements of his game that can be coached.

I like Egodo and he could go on to become a good player if he can get his error rate down. He as been with us 3 years now but for some reason the coaching staff have struggled to improve his game.
Probably his biggest problem as been the lack of game time and the reserves coming back will certainly help other players in the future that have the raw materials like Egodo.
