Sun 4th May: SLMW: Castleford Tigers v Wakefield Trinity KO 17:30 (Sky)
at St James' Park, Newcastle

[OMEGA]

It’s a difficult one this because Cas have recruited and Wakefield have so many injuries so we don’t know yet, Thursday, what either team will look like.

On current form you’d take the Wakefield win and if Trinity have a few returning like Trueman, Nikotimo and Uele passes a late fitness test then we’re favourites.

That said Cas have had to do an early season rebuild, their front row is completely different from the start of the season with Singleton, Amone, Salabio Deseria and they’ve brought in Atkin who’s a good organiser and will be a suitable foil for Milnes.

Ill stick my neck out before seeing the line ups and go Trinity by 10

I fancy Cas for this by 4.

[Trinity1873]

Time for Wakey to give Cas a spanking, Trinity by 20

I would be suprised to see Nikotimo playing and far from confident regarding Trueman. Plus Powell has done some odd team selections of late. Cas have certainly strenghtened too, so I havnt got a clue who will win ,but suspect another close game.

[Harry Stottle]

I fancy Cas to win this and should be a good game with a lot of passion, throughly enjoyed the encounter the other week, very close and Cas have recruited well since, only problem may be that they have not meshed in the team, hoping Tom Amone plays Cas have done well to get involved with HKR's recruitment plans for next season.

I am not one who can sit watching the TV for 6 games over the two days so I am selective on my games, Cas/Wakey will definitely be on my todo list along with obviously Leigh/Catalan.

 

 

[Thunder Road]

Should be a great game. 

Hard to call but I'm going for a close Wakefield win in the early evening sun 

 

 

[wakeyranger]

Not that confident tbh. Atoni out for 12 weeks, Uele out this week as well. Trueman back as well as M Russell and Nikotemo. 

If we can finally put an 80 minute performance together then we'll win but cas should be full confidence. I'll go Trin by 4 but wouldn't be surprised if Cas win.

[WakefieldCityLoyal]

Lots of injuries, would be surprised if we win.  It’s still early stages of the rebuild.

Up the Trin 

[Josef K]

Wakey by 12. 

[Wakey Til I Die]

A few out, a few back. Should still just have enough to win a close one. Wakey by 4. 

[Wollo Wollo Wayoo]

How things can turn around within a couple of weeks.

Cas strengthening coinciding with us picking up more injuries in the pack. McMeeken will need even broader shoulders than usual. Could be a torrid afternoon.

[muckymunksy]

Think Cas sneak this one 16-14 

[Barry Badrinath]

Right  cmon cas, make me happy by making powell unhappy

[JohnM]

Great 1st try from Wakefield.

[Click]

Wakefield making a good start to the game, and a very nicely worked try

[graveyard johnny]

the lack of any proper club colours or traditional   identity  is a massive TURN OFF

[Barry Badrinath]

Unless there's another angle on that, that shows something different,  that's a mental challenge

Agree.  When will Captains ever learn?

The captain was in the tackle, you'd tbink he'd know

[Click]

Think this might be turned down. 

Think there was an offside on the build up before it went to mcmeekan

[Click]

Oh no offside, does it go forward or backwards off mcmeekans hand.. 

I think it's backwards, not sure

[Just Browny]

Knock on.
