Zak too according to McDermott, but all bar Achurch have a chance for Cas at home.



Do I need to bring my boots on sunday

On a side note IF Zak is going to be out for a while, Is it possible for us to 'borrow' a certain Jimmy Watson from our sister club perhaps??????

Hardaker, Moon, Delaney, JJB, Leulaui, Briscoe, Achurch, Golding, R Ward all missing.



Watkins, Hall, McGuire, Burrow, Aiton, Peacock, Ablett, Sinfield, Ward, Cuthbertson, Sutcliffe, Singleton, Keinhorst, Walters, Yates, Mulhern, Handley, Milton.



That's 18 fit players if R Ward and Golding are still injured.

He isn't by the sounds of it. Has an outside chance of playing vs Castleford so should probably be ok for the next game vs Hull which is 10 days later.

Sutcliffe to centre isn't ideal but needs must really as with the 2nd rowers missing we can't move Ablett there.

Mulhern didn't play for Hunslet last Friday with a sternum problem, so you're down to 17 in that case.



Might necessitate playing Sinfield at loose, even though it doesn't really fit the way the team is set up.

Maybe Cam Smith will get a game

Don't think the marquee rule comes in until next year, does it?

Keinhorst chosen by Germany to play against Spain in Valencia on Saturday, that's another gone if he plays.

Hahaha, it seems all the planets are aligning for a Wakefield win... It may have to be a similar side to the one that beat Cas at Headingley a few years ago under McClennan

This has all the signs of a potential banana skin, particularly with the appointment of a new coach.

Wonder how much "gentle persuasion" is being put on Keinhorst not to go play for Germany? I'm hoping none, but I can imagine there will be plenty.



Next man up in that case is presumably either Ryan Jones or Jack Norfolk out of the 19s. Or you play Sutcliffe in the centres and Burrow in the halves, maybe bring Jordan Lilley onto the bench?

I'm pretty sure McDermott will be going with Sutcliffe at fullback. I don't like him there, but McDermott seems to like him there.



I would be cancelling Minchella's loan immediately, and bringing him back. He has enough about him to stake a claim for that spot, regardless of people returning after. He would be a good option for me, and much better than Walters.
