No Dorn.
Solomona to full back - didn't work last time we tried this, hope it turns out better tonight.
Hampshire not in the 17. If he can't get in when our first choice stand off and first choice full back are injured, we might as well send him back to Wigan.

Second that.
Not got a good feeling now dorn is out.
Denny never seems a great threat at FB.
Would rather stick Flynn there and leave Denny were he's potent.

Was 100% confident before I saw this, now I'm worried.

I don't understand the logic of removing our biggest threat, unless of course it is a ploy and Flynn will actually play at full back come kick-off.
I see even less point in keeping a loanee who can't get in the team. Rather than pick Hampshire, Powell has selected a hooker at stand off and a winger at full back.
Unless Hampshire is injured too?

Hampshire is [REMOVED] poor,better off without him on the pitch

Id expect all 3 of Joel,Pads and Denny to rotate between FB and wing at some point throughout the match

We'll still have more than enough for this Widnes side

Ive said it from his first game. Denny is no Full Back. Ive also said from signing Flynn, he aint good enough. Both playing as I said. Hampshire at FB and Solo on Wing would have been much better.

Oh dear, not looking good so far, two scores to Widnes already. Shades of Salford & Hull KR at home. C'mon Cas pull it together quick!!

Well if Powell doesn't sort them at half time and a different Cas side don't come out we've blown this. Too many errors and silly penalties.

...and another try conceded right on half time.
We are so poor.

It is bizarre, over the last 2 months the games Cas have been expected to lose they have won and the games we were expected to win we have lost

Solomina a full back my jacksee.
Powell got his tactics all wrong tonight.
Out thought by denis betts.

Awful tonight.

Powell needs to stop moaning about perceived refereeing bias and focus on his coaching
