Cas on Thurs : Mon Jun 07, 2021 1:08 pm  

So on to cas on Thurs. What team do you think we will have out? Any changes. Do we go with Scott centre or move Fonua centre Farimo on wing? Looking forward to it and free on you tube

I would be tempted to move Fonua to centre, its where he has played his best rugby for us. Bringing in Buretta gives us an even slower three quarters though. I notice Mitch didn't play for Bradford yesterday and wasn't in the 21 man squad, I wonder if he is injured or just not very good at league. There is nothing on the Bradford twitter.

I would be tempted to play Scott at Centre for the rest of the season. I have doubts whether he is going to make a SL centre, so I would say to him he has that role for the rest of the season and see how he progresses.

I would be nervous of Fonua at Centre, but at Cas, it is a narrow pitch so harder to go around teams so might be safe defensively

I think Brett will go with Cam Scott at Centre and Farimino on the bench. Having played and scored with a good finish on Saturday, Scott should retain his place. It also means minimum disruption to the line up.

After that, team same as Saturday, unless he drafts Johnstone onto the bench. Hopefully no disciplinary issues to contend with.

Perhaps Hull asked to withdraw Mitch as he’s ilkley to be in our 21 for Thursday, unless his initial loan spell doesn’t allow that yet?

Thursday will be a tough game, but at least Cas will be drained too, so hopefully we can pick up the points and get on a run with a more favourable fixture list coming up.

He picked up an injury in the last game

I have no doubt we will see Scott at centre for most of the season unless injured or form dictates a change.
A long run in the team and we will see if his potential is real

The RFL have stuck the boot in on Josh Griffen and banned him for two matches for a Grade C offence!

So even if he could conjure up a Danny McGuire Lazarus-esqe recovery for Thursday, he’s out!

Small pitch and maybe tired bodies would start fonua centre farimo wing..Maybe harsh on Scott but horses for courses

Re: Cas on Thurs : Mon Jun 07, 2021 2:24 pm  

Give Scott a chance.

Faraimo won't be here next season. We need to see what Cam can do and keep the changes minimal

That's my thinking too. And Wynne hasn't gone back out on loan so promote him to the bench. Or Ferreira, he's had a couple of good performances in the academy.
