Just posted this in the Northstanders but thought I should post on here aswell

Can anybody explain why Castleford are on Sky for seven consecutive weeks? Who wants to Watch that shi*e week in, week out!

Well Cas fans for a start. They shouldn't be on 7 weeks in a row but I'd hardly call them sh*te, well actually I would

but most people wouldn't.

There are 6 teams on each week so odds are that someone will be on numerous times.
Wigan are on with similar numbers.

Unbelievably Cas were not on Sky the first weekend but we are then on 14 times out of the next 16 games. Haven't checked but i can't believe any one else has been dealt such a bad deal. There is still then the 6 loop fixtures and play offs and GF so could end up being on Sky 20 times this season + CC semi finals and Wembley.

Slightly over confident there old boy, trust me you won’t be on that many times

that said it does look poor planning.

I am glad they are on next week - I get to watch

they were very ordinary tonight

Would rather watch Cas than Leeds every week but on Leeds current form over the last 18 months, I could very easily watch them every week now!

Hello mate, I'me sure you've by now realised I'm usually tongue in cheek but as I've said many times on here "we'll have to wait and see" especially after the news of our new signing.

After last night then how do you think you 17 will look?

I can see Milner copping a ban for his mini head butt as well as Millington going off injured he will probably be missing....

Can see us lining up like:

Turner
Clare
Minikin
Shenton
Eden
Peanut
Trueman
Watts
O'Neill
Clark
Jesse
McMeekan
Moors

Cook
Smith
Maher
17. Hopefully an injured player back

Rankin, Gale, Milner, McShane, Millington, Foster, Massey missing from our 17 then a few squad players like Clarkson and Ellis.

Not sure you will look any better injury wise after them dirty scum last night.

Trinity will be

Jowitt
Arundell
BJB
Hampshire
Brough
Fifita
Crowther
Pauli
Ashurst
Hirst

That might be it.

Seriously, I hope that some of the injuries last night aren't as bad as they looked but, none of them looked too good

We dunno yet, depends who's out
We have some decent replacements but obviously there will be a lot of shuffling
Either way, it will be a competitive game due to both sides being short on first choices and players out of position.
We kinda know what we're gonna get with Cas, they've been doing it tough for a while and whilst they are well below their high bar they are not terrible and must be feeling the benefits of continuity a little.
I'd have backed last nights Wakey team to win next week one way or the other, but there will be much less certainty if we lose 2 or 3 more key players.

Jowitt
BJB
Arundal
Horo
The New Signing/Kershaw
Hampshire
Brough
Fifita
Crowther
Kopczak
Ashurst
Pauli
Arona

Hirst
Kirmond
King
Annakin

The new signing will help if & when it gets done. Rumoured to be Adam Swift but time will tell. If not Kershaw gets a game. Centre is a problem but Horo has filled in during games twice now ok. Annakin will be back from Dewsbury. Just hope Pauli doesn’t get a ban given i think he has had a caution already this year. Enough there to compete with an also injury plagued Cas side.
*Edit*. Might change the new signing guess to MCB....
