Nothing on Twitter about that earlier: just about Meli and Soliola not playing.

I can confirm Pryce had a slight strain. Nothing a massage won't solve.

I was right again. Always first for new

Were resting a few, Orr will be one of them id be very suprised if he wasn't after picking up slight rib injury on Sunday.

Re: Cas game : Thu Jul 28, 2011 2:41 am  

First of all please do the cheats and hopefully we'll beat the Whinos and meet one another in the final. As for the game I would imagine we will rest a fair few including Rangi, Orr, Ferres, Dixon and Arundel. I can't see either side going tooth and nail to win imo as it will be weighing on each others minds not to get injured for next week.

If Cas rest Orr and Rangi, i think they will struggle. The likes of Eastmond and Gaskell are not slouches and maybe in competition for a bench spot the following week. Our starting pack should still be pretty strong, even if the bench is weaker than usual.

For Saints it's still a must win game with Catalan and Huddersfield on our tails.

A slip up could mean the loss of a top 4 spot come the end of season, the pressure is still on until that top 4 spot is out of reach of either Huddersfield or Catalans

According to Royce at the fans' forum last night, only Meli and Soliola will be missing against Cas. And both of them should be back for Wigan. Clough may play but not sure. Wheeler is a fortnight away.

Dont be fooled by the "Orr will be a late call"

Danny Orr and Rangi Chase will play,

Richard Mathers is still carrying a knock, So Ryan Mcgoldrick is continuing at Full Back

Joe Arundel could be rested, As Willie Isa is back in contention and should figure either starting or off the bench

Dean Widders and Oliver Holmes will both play, Which could see Jordan Thompson moved to Centre or Rested, And possibly Stuart Jones.

Martin Aspinwall is out of prison and back in training, He could be a surprise inclusion.

Do not for one minute think that we are resting players, We will only replace players, With a like for like first team replacement.

Didn't Orr take a knock on Sunday? His ribs looked to be really hurt.

Anyway how would you feel ahead of our biggest game for years if we got injuries to key players over a game we're probably going to lose anyway? I really can't see TM risking Rangi or Orr to be honest but we have decent back-ups.

Can't see Orr playing. He will be resting his ribs. I'd give Martin and JD a shot. They earnt it in the 9's.

I thought the squads would have been announced by now.???
