No point going about controlling half backs with a pack like ours. miller is a good half but other than the watts westermann (who are both at the wrong age) we have nothing to be fair.. Mastapha is championship level and should have not got a new deal as seen no improvement in last 12 months am sti...

We have to try something different for this game.
40/20 attempt on 4th tackle?
Crossfield kick to (bean pole) Senior?
Macca’s run-round play?
Macca alternating between hooker and halfback?

Something with a bit of imagination to keep Salford guessing because battering their line is not going to work!

For quite a few seasons the quality of our overseas signings has been very poor. Looking at all the other SL. clubs this season (with the possible exception of London) they have overseas signings who substantially improve their team but some of ours can’t get in our starting 17 and some are even pla...

It would be just our luck to get Tom Grant as Ref!

Good to see Westerman in the squad. He was limping at the end of the Catalans game when he came over to applaud the travelling fans.

Maybe have him on the bench for this one because he certainly deserves a bit of a rest.

I reckon the move to 14 teams will happen to keep Mr Beaumont happy

From what I’ve seen we’ll really struggle with London’s kicking game. Like us they don’t seem to create much with ball in hand but their grabber kicking is far superior to ours a their up n unders are well placed and contested near the line.

When is Hindmarsh - Takyi likely to be fit?

Released or sent out on loan?

Strange one. They send Abdull out on loan to Catalans and sign another (lesser) half back on a 2 year deal!!!

Wonder why London didn’t take him back?
Or did the possibility of playing SL 2025 tempt him?

We now have 3 new props plus Vete and It’s going to be interesting to see how they are used (when fit) Namo may be the surprise package but is returning from ACL injury Kibula, is he ready for SL? Hindmarsh Takyi, largely unknown quantity. Vete, can he get back to SL level? We certainly need to find...

Harry Smith wasn’t red carded because it’s the Penrith game next week.

To my mind the second red card was way too harsh.
A yellow for each would have been a more proportionate outcome.
RL will soon resemble touch and pass

We’ve got Cain Robb and George Hill as back up to Horne, if it’s true about Macca.

Recommended for approval!!! We are pleased to confirm that planning applications for the proposed Axiom employment and logistics site and the Castleford Tigers stadium major upgrades, have both been recommended for approval by Wakefield Council’s planning officers. The final decision will be made by...

From footage I’ve seen he looks a big unit, but I can’t find his height and weight detail anywhere.

We could use a big lad because in the pre-season games, apart from Watts and Westy, our pack looks a bit small side.

You and me both mate!

Back on topic.
Can we pay on the gate on Sunday?
