NINETEEN MAN SQUAD FOR SAINTS
The Tigers have announced the last nineteen man squad of the regular league season to make the daunting trip to St.Helens,included in the squad are Saints bound centre Micky Shenton and youngster Daryl Clark,For 17-year-old Daryl it would be his senior debut were he to play. The young hooker is another product of the Tigers Academy whose form this year has seen him step up from Under18's to Under 20's and now into the senior squad.
The 19 man squad is :
2. KIRK DIXON, 3. MICHAEL SHENTON, 5. MICHAEL WAINWRIGHT, 6. RANGI CHASE, 8. MITCHELL SARGENT, 9. RYAN HUDSON, 10. CRAIG HUBY, 11. BRETT FERRES,12. STEVE SNITCH, 13. JOE WESTERMAN, 14. STUART JONES, 15. LIAM HIGGINS, 21. JORDAN THOMPSON, 23. RYAN McGOLDRICK, 25. DEAN WIDDERS, 28. ADAM MILNER, 31. JONATHAN WALKER, 32. JOE ARUNDEL, 34. DARYL CLARK
As expected, the Tigers vital Engage Super League clash at St Helens has been moved from Friday 3rd September to Saturday 4th September with a revised 6.45pm kick off time.
The match, which sees the Tigers looking to maintain their place in the play off places and Saints hoping to hold off Warrington to clinch second place in the table (not to mention say goodbye to Knowsley Road on a high) has been switched to enable Sky Sports to feature it live.
Despite another bit of a wobble with ten to go (remember The Stoop anyone?) Cas managed to get the job done thanks to a piece of Chase trickery which put Sarge through on his farewell home game of the season to seal the game with minutes to go. Dorn managed to sully the celebrations a bit by scoring his obligatory try against us in the last minute but it wasn't enough as Cas ran out 40-28 winners.
To be fair neither side looked totally convincing, but of the two teams Cas dominated the game and looked well worth their eighth place berth going into the last week of the regular season. With Wakey ruling themselves out at Bradford it now all boils down to what we can do at Saints (gulp!) and whether or not KR fancy a game in Wales. Let's hope they do! Whether Cas can lift enough to make progress in the playoffs isn't nearly as important as us getting there in the first place because finishing top eight in consecutive seasons can only be a tick in the box of our 2011 franchise application.
Back to today though, and Del's match report is now online along with our Gameday coverage right HERE.
The Tigers have named their 19-man squad for Sunday's game against The Quins, with one change from the side that faced Leeds Rhinos last Friday. Ryan Clayton will miss the rest of the season after suffering a pectoral muscle injury in that game. Teenage hooker Adam Milner, who has made two substitute appearances this season, comes into the squad.
The 19 man squad is -
2. KIRK DIXON, 3. MICHAEL SHENTON, 5. MICHAEL WAINWRIGHT, 6. RANGI CHASE, 8. MITCHELL SARGENT, 9. RYAN HUDSON, 10. CRAIG HUBY, 11. BRETT FERRES, 12. STEVE SNITCH, 13. JOE WESTERMAN, 14. STUART JONES, 15. LIAM HIGGINS, 21. JORDAN THOMPSON, 23. RYAN McGOLDRICK, 25. DEAN WIDDERS, 26. OLIVER HOLMES, 28. ADAM MILNER, 31. JONATHAN WALKER, 32. JOE ARUNDEL
The Tigers have posted the detailed plans of the new Glasshoughton Stadium up on their website and have asked fans for feedback. It's a must see for every single one of us so if you haven't seen the plans yet, do so by clicking...
Billed as a potential shock after Cas' early season win at Headingley, this one proved instead to be a very disappointing day at the office for the Tigers. Leeds came to the Jungle and gained their revenge by running riot and in the end, despite Cas creating plenty of chances and working loads of good field position, the visitors cruised to a 38-6 win.
The loss puts Cas' season right on the line now, with just two games to go and still one win behind Crusaders in eighth. How much woul we pay to have that last five minutes at Neath again now? Still, there is one ray of hope in the form of Quins next time out. With the season ending away at Saints we simply have to beat the Londoners to stand any chance of the playoffs.
Oh well... at least Delboy's match report is now online, so catch up with the Leeds game right HERE.
The full impact of our last minute loss in Neath recently has come home to roost this weekend, with Crusaders using the Challenge Cup week off to catch up on their game in hand against Quins. And again (for them) it was two last minute tries which got them a 16-12 win and secured the points, putting them up to eighth spot at our expense.
So with everyone on the same number of games we're down to ninth, two points behind Crusaders and two ahead of Wakey. Of course there is still a chance we can make the eight this season, but it will mean us picking up points on a fairly tough final run in. A win vs Quins is now virtually a must, and a shock over either Leeds or Saints would be more than useful too. Perhaps the Loiners will go easy on us now they're at Wembley?
As the more observant among you might have already realised, we're happy to report that we're over our recent gremlins and have updated the site properly. Hopefully we might be able to see out the remainder of the season without any more hiccups...
Anyway, thanks for sticking with us. Enjoy the site folks.
Once again this season we find ourselves apologising to our lovely readers because once again we have a tiny problem to report with the site. Unfortunately our ability to use FTP is not currently working and despite putting a support call into our web hosts we still haven't got them to fix it. As aresult we can't update a damned thing at the moment, including the league tables, game info, squad stats, the Aye-Lie contest, the Caption contest, etc.
Fortnately for Aye-Lie, we're now staring at a week off while the Challenge Cup semis are on, but for the rest of the site we can only apologise for the delay and point the finger firmly at '123reg.co.uk'. Ever since 'Supanames.co.uk' flogged us off to 123 (without our consent, we might add) we've been plagued with nagging problem after nagging problem. Anyway, we're sorry and we'll fix it as soon as we can. For now rest assured we're still eighth (just!) albeit only on points difference from Crusaders (who have a game in hand too).
In the meantime, here's a nice picture of a new stadium which might or might not get built one day...
KR were clear favourites to take the spoils with Cas' visit to New Caravan Park today, but the Tigers gave them one hell of a run for their money before the home side nicked it at the death, 28-26.
Just like the game at Wheldon Road earlier this season, the Robins needed a lot more than just a slice of luck to overcome the determined Tigers outfit. But this time it wasn't a "Tee-Arr-My-Fat-Arse-Wye" from Liam Colbon which robbed us at the death, it was Bentham's whistle right through the game - capped with seconds to go when (with the scores level) he overturned a Chase one-pointer and handed the initiative back to the home side. With ball in hand, Rovers scraped into Cas' half and as the clock ran out were awarded yet another penalty. Dobson kicked it to win by the narrowest of ref-assisted margins. Jammy, jammy b*stards...
Delboy66's match report and our Gameday page are right HERE . if you can stomach it, that is...
The Tigers will be without Paul Jackson for today's trip over to East Hull - he suffered a neck injury in that disappointing defeat in Neath and looks set to see out the last few games of the season from the sidelines. Bad news for him then, but it does offer Liam Higgins another shot at the first team if he can pass a late fitness test. Joining him in the assessment room is Joe Arundel who is carrying a knee injury and may not make the final seventeen.
Meanwhile there's quite a few names missing from the Robins' nineteen too, with the likes of Webster, Walker, Cockayne, Vella and I'Anson all missing. But the home side do know they can secure a top eight spot with a victory today so it'll be a tough ask for Cas to get anything from the game, even though the lads will be keen to get back on course after last week.
