If Proctor has had doubts over fitness, this isn't the game to put him in. I'd save him.
Not sure if Hood and Smith are now fit. Anyone know?

I would play the reserves, save the better players for the Cas game. I cant see us beating Saints but if we don't beat Cas either then Mash has to go as that will be 0 from 8 and we will be a minimum of 2 wins behind anybody else and with a much worse points difference with a third of the season gone.

Unfortunately i dont believe its as simple as that,im led to believe when a player player plays a sl game he has to be paid a certain salary which is significantly higher that what any reserve player gets

Proctor has to play IMO...he's looked at times to struggle with the pace of the game and match fitness so to put him in at Cas cold will be a big error for me...get him some gametime...a couple of 20 minute stints in the back row should bring him on nicely for Cas...

Applegarth said in his post match interview the other night that had that game been on Sunday instead of Friday Crowther, Smith and Proctor would all have been ok to play...just the short turnaround came too quick....so another 5 days on come game day Friday all three should be in contention....Hood will be available after the HIA kept him out...just whether or not he's over that...

I would go with this for saints….

Butterworth
Taufua
Langi
Lyne
Lineham
Smith
Gaskell
Battye
Hood
Butler
Ashurst
Pitts
Crowther

Forber
Atoni
Eseh
Law

I’d rest … Kay, Kershaw, Hall, Lino, Bowden, Whitbread, Bowes, Tanginoa, Proctor. These would all play vs Castleford and probably Hewitt.

That’s 10 fresh players vs Cas who are coming in off a short 5 day turnaround. The team vs saints also looks decent.

No Atoni. Proctor back.

I thought Hood might have been in the squad, probably saving him for the Cas game

I wonder if Atoni is injury or performance related? If as i hope it's the latter then hopefully it will give him the kick up the backside he needs.

We are apparently down to bare bones for fit players.

We've signed Innes Senior on loan, straight into the 21 for Friday.
