Re: Pre Season Training
No Shenton in those 2 line ups. I think he will start the season and then we shall see what pans out.
If we have a reduced injury list we don’t have a bad 13. Bench looks ok but not much after that. We must be due a reasonable season with less injuries.
We shall see.

Re: Pre Season Training
That back line look pretty decent on paper.
Let’s hope they can all stay injury free.

Re: Pre Season Training
Just looks a bit odd with Shenny in there knowing he is still with us OCL.
Re: Pre Season Training
Shenton has, in my opinion, struggled since 2018, so how and why he got a 2 year deal for last season and this I’ll never know.
PS - I also forgot about JSL from my 17...would have him on the bench in place of Hepi..

But sadly all good things come to an end.
I can’t see him playing no more than a hand full of games.
Poor form from matautia and turner plus injuries will give him game time.
Sometimes you’ve got to be cruel to be kind.
Re: Pre Season Training
I tend to agree Shenton will get the number four shirt for starters, with Turner coming off bench in left second row spot. Good to know though if Shenton is out of form we have a ready made replacement waiting in the wings. With pretty good competition for places throughout the squad, barring the usual injury nightmares I think we’ll go well this season.Lofthouse Tiger wrote: ↑30 Jan 2021, 13:26 No Shenton in those 2 line ups.

Re: Pre Season Training
On the squad number issue, I believe the main benefit is that it reduces the number of shirts required overall.
If squad numbers are not used, you basically need a couple of shirts in every size for each number. For example, you might have Cheyse Blair wearing 4 one week and a much smaller player the next week, and then someone in -between the following week. Then multiply that by the three different designs. You end up with each number in various sizes for each design, so you need far more shirts and that’s costly.
Having squad numbers means the clubs only need to print up two of each number in each design, because nobody else is going to wear that number all season.
Personally I’d prefer us to go back to using a 1-17 system for each game, but you’d still end up with stupid positioning because the clubs would just give a player the shirt that fits rather than the one that reflects the position they are playing.

Re: Pre Season Training
Looking at the subs we have to choose from it looks very impressive. Think Shenton will be at centre rather than Turner but I would rather he wasn't. Think he's a mate of Powells to be honest playing last season when he was very poor. Been a great servant to Cas but time to make way in my opinion.heritage1926 wrote: ↑30 Jan 2021, 12:37 Our strongest 13 and bench IMO. Plus any number of the below could take the final bench spot.

Re: Pre Season Training
You can’t change numbers half way through a season . You get your number and stick with it and I honestly can’t see blair playing full back or wing@CasRugbyShirts wrote: ↑30 Jan 2021, 17:20 On the squad number issue, I believe the main benefit is that it reduces the number of shirts required overall.

Re: Pre Season Training
No, not when squad numbers are used. But it means that many numbers don’t reflect positions.Tigersbarmy wrote: ↑31 Jan 2021, 22:09You can’t change numbers half way through a season .

My point is that squad numbers save money because fewer shirts are needed.
