It’s about building some form going into playoffs now. Play a strong team (as much as injuries allow) and put in a good performance.

I agree. Strongest side available

It’s the final home game of this year too, the club needs to entertain the fan base.

Give Hurrell the swansong, and probably Lui too but have some cover. Both may “do a Shenton” but will give us some punch while they’re on.

I really don’t think we are good enough / deserve to take the title this year. However this is sport and crazy things can happen. I am absolutely sure the team will give the next games their best crack.

We're unlikely to win the whole thing. The best chance we can give ourselves is by finding some form, and you don't do that from the stands. Play the strongest team and go as far as we can.

Real shame for Shenton to go out like that last night, a quality professional and quality person.

Agreed, I really felt for him last night, not how you want to end your career, he seems a thoroughly decent guy and has been a fabulous player for Cas.

Still glad they lost though!

I think What it shows you is even if there is nothing to play for (like Warrington last night) at this end of the year you need to be hitting some form, I don't see what us resting players tonight achieves we need to be sending out our best possible side. And has someone mentioned I think the fans deserve that.

Totally agree. I'll be pretty gutted if they run out with a weakened team tonight. Don't think they will.

Yep a good servant to the sport for many years. A real solid pro and players player. Shame to end like that but hes had a good career.

Absolutely, you don’t want the likes of Hurrell and Lui going in from a standing start.

Agreed. From the same junior club my kids played for and still lives in the area. You wouldn't find anyone who has a bad word to say about him, hope he stays in the game somehow.
