Something does not sit well were Drinkwater is concerned, he has been in the last 3 squads and still not played.

Ankle injury, i can't see it being anything other than he's just not 100% on it yet so not being risked.
On the Squad, i'd put Thewlis to fullback and Dufty on the wing, worth a go i think with nothing to lose.

Wasn’t a home defeat to Cas the end of Cullens reign.

Maybe a defeat away to Cas might see the end of DP too.

It’s just not working.

When he continues to use Kasiano from the off instead of philbin for example to break down a tiring defence... I'm more and more convinced that Powell has stopped coaching and hasn't felt his job threatened after the season start as it's just same old same old... The Powell that coached Castleford encouraged some flair ... literally no idea what happened to that feller but these line ups and tactics are definitely not "class"

We just have to be able to play without Williams ... cos injuries happen.

Re: Squad for Castleford : Fri Jun 23, 2023 9:59 am  

Well, you all wanted Matautia and Ratch out of the centres...

A penny for Riley Dean's thoughts this week. Goes to Cas on loan because it's deemed that he needs to be playing Super League week in week out, and now Wire, without both first-choice half-backs, are taking on Cas, and Dean can't play for either side!

Re: Squad for Castleford : Fri Jun 23, 2023 10:37 am  

It’s strange isn’t it that the positions that we are desperate for (half back and second row) we have players in that position out on loan (Dean and Longstaff).
