The half back contest in this game will be interesting. 

Richardson and Trueman seem to be a more more natural half back partnership than Widdop and Austin but the latter are more experienced and proven quality.

I am going for the young kids to shine, Cas to win and Trueman man of the match. 

Yes, Castleford look as if they have the makings of a half back partnership that could stand them in good stead for many seasons to come.

I was surprised when Cas signed Danny Richardson, I thought he had a big future at Saints. Their loss is Castleford's gain.

I kept a close eye on him from the stands at the England v Jamaica game and I thought he showed genuine potential. 

[Cheshire Setter 1,131]

Ratchford showing why he’s the most important player in the Warrington side at the end of that set.

[GUBRATS 4,106]

Game of ' who blinks first ATM ' 

[Cheshire Setter 1,131]

I know Warrington need to blood Brand this year for experience but pressure games are not the place to do it.   He’s young enough to bide his time.

I’ll take that back he did well with Charnley there.

He is all over the place ain't he? Interesting that he is trusted more than Burrell by Price. 

[DavidM 9,773]

Watching Brand play the ball I think we can officially say the new regulations are defunct , done , never happened ...

To be honest I was hoping we’d see Currie there for what is essentially a crunch match even this early in the season.   Currie has the intelligence and the experience, and we have plenty of options at second row.

I have to say, Walker has been impressive at hooker and hasn’t put a foot wrong.

 

[DoubleD 5,554]

How refreshing is it to have Ben Proe rather than Bill Arthur? He’s not the greatest commentator by any means but he’s a big improvement.

Just a shame we have to endure Terry with him, rabbiting away

Strange first half.

Sort of lacking in action, occasionally threatening to burst into life.

[GUBRATS 4,106]

Well , very different to last night

He has been fine, don't see the issue.

Austin has been awful.

[The Hallucinating Goose 2,239]

Very little in it, gonna come down to a mistake or a bit of fatigue.

He played a decent number of SL games for Widnes in 2018 and was a first team regular in the Championship in 2019. He's actually a year older than Danny Walker. Both went from Widnes Academy to the first team at the age of 18/19, they're not short of experience in spite of their age.

Bloody hooligans that Toronto lot. Never thought I'd see the day when a goose couldn't just go to a rugby game without being murdered and eaten. What has the world come to? Still, there's places in the world where they eat dogs... let's set up an expansion team there!

He's settled down and had a couple of good carries, but his defence is flappy. A solid 2nd half should hopefully give him confidence, but there is a worry if they attack that side. 

[Hughsehhh 224]

Walker is England/ GB's future hooker, he's already class. 

Cheyse Blair looks pretty solid in the forwards, there can't be too many players that can play prop, 2nd row and centre

[Just Browny 7,096]

Olpherts is a horrid little fella. Filled his keks when he had to come back over.

[Cheshire Setter 1,131]

Bad call there by Hicks.

[Dave T 17,002]

Penalty try

 

[DavidM 9,773]

Steve Price can’t rate Burrell at all 

[Dave T 17,002]

No Barrie, it can't cost his team 8 you cretin! 

Why do we employ people who don't know tge rules of the sport?
