So which players are those 7 replacing ? 

Smith and Watts starting props

Mcmeeken would also start in 2nd row.

Cook moors and foster would be at least on bench. Latter 2 if they was ever fit. 

Blair would be starting centre for me instead of Pete. 

I still think Cas will win by at 20 in 2 weeks.

So, with these changes in mind, what is your first choice 17 for Cas this year?

I don't know much about Daniel Smith, is he really that good that he will push Junior Moors or Nathan Massey out of the 17?  Also, would expect Peter Mata'utia not be in the first choice 17, he is a quality player and versatile.

Cheers mate. 

What I make of it is that we won't be seeing SBW on the pitch until a few weeks into the season. 

And that some of the Toronto players are overpaid. If SBW doesn't count towards the cap and they only have 18 players, that's bad planning.

Cut us some slack...cut us a break...we are new at this...it won't happen again if you just give us a bit of compensation this time.   You took our central funding!

Not sure which bit of that post disagrees with you so much. It was quite clearly a good win and Cas were indeed a top five team. Your stalking of those interested in and positive about TWP on here is becoming tedious and pathetically childish. At least Parky put a bit of effort into it

I do have some sympathy for TWP's position I must admit. At first I dismissed the thought of dispensation, however I suppose we need to ask is it reasonable to expect a new club on the other side of the world to have an Academy team that they can supplement the 1st team squad with like other clubs do? I'm not sure it can be done so easily just yet. 

I think there maybe needs to be some concessions around DR and Loan players, to cater for the unique circumstances they face. 

On the flip side, maybe had they invested in London Skolars like they said they would they would have had a youth partnership by now, and Salford also don't have an Academy IIRC so not sure whether they would be happy with concessions for TWP. 

I'd be happy with something like an allowance of £100k for DR or Loan players on top of their cap.

It was a weakened twp Vs a weakened cas.  Good marker for the start of the season.

I can only imagine what would have Been said if they lost

If we're going to an English lesson here, why do always put a space in before your commas?

@Kayakman did you bookmark that thread where.people said.you would.get relegated.  That might be fun.bumping.it during the season 

Those people have been committed and are currently posting from a lunatic asylum....I think its called Leigh Centurian Lunatic Asylum or something to that effect...the Head Nurse always tries to sell decking/siding to those that visit.

I'm sure Toronto was equally motivated to put up a win as the newcomer, as Cas was motivated to not let the newcomer beat them. In the end it doesn't matte much as it was a preseason game, but a win is a win, and is better than a loss.

Not to mention the missing question mark, followed by a new sentence.

Can I join you two in the English lesson? ?

I will grade it if you want me too...but I'm tough....you all must start with a 'Title Page' using MLA Format.

No, no, it's a serious question. I have just never seen anyone who puts a space before a comma. It just looks , weird. Even by internet standards.
