Mathers is quite shocking, his decision making against Leeds last week and Warrington this week was s###e!!

we need Snitch in or promot a prop from the academy.

my line-up would be
1. Mathers
2. Thompson
3. Arundel
4. Dixon
5. Eden
6. Chase
7. Orr
8. Fozzard
9. Milner
10. Snitch

Bench:-
14. Clark
15. Massey
16. Emmitt
17. Davies

Jackson only had a back spasm. Surely he will be able to play won't he?

I'm sure there will be plenty on here to offer advice on back spasms' on a Monday morning

Don't agree with exclusion of Ferres or the inclusion of Massey who for all his commitment/effort is way out of his depth against SL opposition.....when did anyone last see a prop upended by a single tackler as easily as Westwood dumped him on Friday. Davies at least has a bit more aggression but even as a backrower I worry about his size and Wire looked one game too far for Holmes who has probably been over-exposed after a great start to the season..
It pains me to say this but we look so devoid of attacking options (1 try in 2 games) that we might have to put Goldy on the bench.
I agree Owen is still off the pace but he has looked better coming in from the wing and if fit I would be tempted to put him in the centre to give us a bit of go-forward and some sort of second phase from his offloads. If he isn't fit and we have to play Thompson at least give the lad a go in one of his favoured postions at centre because he never looks confident/comfortable on the wing.
Assuming Jackson/Aspinwall to be available my 19 would go with Mathers,Eden,Owen,Arundel,Dixon,Chase,Orr,Fozzard, Milner,Jackson,Jones,Snitch,Ferres,McGoldrick,Emmitt,
Widders,Clarke,Holmes,Aspinwall. 2 from Widders, Holmes, McGoldrick to drop out.

I am a Wakefield fan so treat my comments appropriately but trying to be objective I'm not sure you need the wholesale changes.
You are not playing Warrington again. Those players that didn't play well weren't so bad against Wakefield last time out. Obviously there were some issues in second half so that needed fixing.

Problem for Cas is that Warrington were capable of doing that to anyone given chance. I just thought Cas were just out enthused as they like to say these days and it gave them the advantage to use their undoubted skills. Once on a roll and playing with confidence they were playing carefree rugby and chancing their arm.

Cas v Wakefield will be a much closer game.

And back to being a Wakefield fan.......I'd rest your half backs

Re: For the chop : Thu May 19, 2011 1:31 pm  

McGoldrick, Aspinwall and Massey out. Youngquest, Isa, Clark & Thompson all returning. Jackson missing, presumably with his injury. Only 2 props in the 19 again. Eeek! http://www.castigers.com/article.php?id=1494

Re: For the chop : Thu May 19, 2011 1:36 pm  

Cas gain two backs whilst Wakey are without two of theres in Dean & George. Makes you clear favourites now I reckon.

Re: For the chop : Thu May 19, 2011 2:11 pm  

McGoldrick and Massey were the worst two playesr against Warrington. Massey was out of position all the time in defense. I expect Hudson to move into the backrow from now on. He's too slow at hooker put still tackles well.

Not much use having the backs if there's no forwards to get them any ball and field position.

Re: For the chop : Thu May 19, 2011 4:27 pm  

If Younquest plays, why does TM not give us the truth, he said last week he was a month away and that Isa was weeks away. Who is he trying to kid. It wont make a difference to the opposition, so why not be honest. he also said Huby was out for the season, so is he playing as well?
