Think he's more suited to the wing tbh. As much as he's done well for us there the way the game is evolving his type of FB is a dying breed. If he was to leave in search of a fb place i can only see him being shifted to the wing.

I'm not sure who I'd drop either jeffmcrib, although I'm not sure how fit Griffin will be as he's been out with injury. Hasson and Bibby to miss out for me. |

Welham
Johnson
Lui
Dobson
Kopczak
Tomkins
Tasi
BMM
Hauraki
Krasniqi
Lannon
Brinning
T Carney
Hasson
Depending on how fit Griffin is. If he's fully fit then he replaces Hasson. Bench looks light without any extra props though

Griffin probably needs a run out. Kirkmond and Grix also missing from Wakefield.

If he's fully fit then he replaces Hasson. Bench looks light without any extra props though Looks about right. I can't see Griffin being fully fit yet, so can see Hasson staying in the team. Certainly, Lannon, Brining, and Carney deserve their places in the starting 17. |

On second thoughts Lui probably needs a rest, so it might be this match

And even Big Ben, his knees always strapped and he's played all the matches. Maybe start him on the bench with Griffin starting in the 2nd row again. Some big matches coming up.

If Lui or BMM are not fully fit, rest them. I'm not underestimating Wakefield, here, it's just that I'd rather have them available for selection over the next few weeks than blocking hospital beds as they recover from surgery. To be honest, I'd prefer to lose the game while keeping our players fit than win this one and then lose half a dozen due to injuries.
(I'd really rather win every game from now till the end of time, but if compromise is necessary, I'd compromise)

Tony, I understand your concerns re saving players etc, however this is a game that we should be going out to win in order to consolidate our top 2 position and then hopefully finish in the top 4 by the end of the season. The team have been going really well and have avoided injuries thus far, however I still think that the rotation adopted by Ian Watson has been top drawer and I will go whichever way he plays it. Yes Wakefield have some missing, but that's not a reason for us to hold anything back. If we pick up the odd knock then so be it and we can cross that bridge when we come to it, but I don't agree as regards preferring to lose this one. Lets win em all and get to Wembley. We can roate the half back partnerships and have sufficient forwards also in order to progress and win this game against a very strong squad in Wakefield and they should not under estimated in anyway, even if they have a couple missing.

I think the point is that there are 6 important games (from Leigh to Wakefield in the cup) in about 26 days and there are some important players who have to be managed Ben, Koppy and the half backs. Carney has made it easier with his return but the forwards will be tired, carrying a few knocks and are getting a bit thin on the ground. To lose Koppy and Ben for the rest of the season would be poor management.
Have a look at the Castleford squad this week.
