Ferres as to sort himself out.
He's been giving penalties away in our own half were teams have capitalised.
Also he's put down a few easy passes.
Not sure whats gone wrong with him, thought he was on top form for the first 4/5 games.
Maybe getting called into to england set up as prayed on his mind.....i just dont know.

Well they're definitely the worst offenders...

It's worrying that the implication here is that the choice of referee has an influence on team selection.

Re: Castleford v Wakefield : Tue Apr 19, 2011 12:56 pm  

What team do you reckon Terry will pick for this one, given that Youngquest is still out? Is Isa available/fit again? Isa at centre and Ferres to loose (or the bench)? Or leave it as it is. Does he take into consideration the St Helens game on Monday, and rest a few now?

Possibly:

R.Mathers
K.Dixon
J.Arundel
W.Isa
R.Owen

R.Chase
D.Orr

P.Jackson
R.Hudson
C.Huby
O.Holmes
J.Emmitt
B.Ferres

D.Widders
S.Snitch
N.Fozzard
D.Clark

This next couple of weeks will be the first real test for this squad, I think, with Wakey, Saints, Leeds and Wire in the league (broken by the cup game at Rochdale - rested team?) and could give the squad a huge lift if they come through relatively unscathed, or demoralise them if they get turned over. I think as long as there aren't any major injuries (to important players) and we keep up our excellent support, we could kick on through May and June.

I hadn't really considered that, more the nature of the first game between the two but then of course that was reffed by JC as well.

Suggestion was that he would be available but it's been quiet on that front since Friday. If he is fit he'll be in and Ferres will return to LF. If Isa is not fit then I would really like to see Jordan Thompson in the centre's berth.

I would prefer him not to, play your strongest side on Friday and see where that leaves you. You can always bring folk off earlier than planned if things are going well.

I would go for exactly the same team.

Certainly. Think we'll definately see Milner, Massey, Thompson and a few of the U20's side, possibly McGoldrick as well, included for that one.

Great to see confirmation that the Adam Watene trophy will be at stake on Friday and very fitting that AV will be there to present it. http://www.castigers.com/article.php?id=1413 From AV's twitter: @CasTigersNet very happy that I get to present the trophy in the memory of a friend. Good player but an even better bloke

How is Goldies comeback coming along??

Re: Castleford v Wakefield : Tue Apr 19, 2011 8:58 pm  

It'd be ludicrous to rest any players with the trip to Saints in mind. With our strongest squad fully fit and raring to go we're extremely unlikely to get owt out of the Saints game whereas if we rest players against Wakey we could very well slip up and lose that one as well!

I've never supported this idea of picking and choosing the games you play your strongest side in - pick your strongest side from the available fit players every week and see where that gets you...
