anyone know anything about the young lads?

Brad is a promising hooker, had a good game against the Yowies only time will tell but I hope he goes ok. If we don't play them I guess we'll never know.

Sorry I missed Liam, plays centre but I think he could be a 2nd rower as he runs it in well in the 19s. A brave kid when I've watched him and a good prospect.

In many respects, it's an ideal game to play them, although, a derby game against Cas is certainly a baptism of fire.
This will be a great experience for any of the youngsters. At home, in front of a decent crowd and the one thing we have seen this season, it the enthusiasm from the young players when they have come in and it's an ideal opportunity to show Chester what they have to offer.

Apart form it being a derby, there is no pressure on this one. We are secure in the 8 and maybe, better things to come.

Good Luck boys, the Red, White & Blue army are going to be right there with you !

I would expect Brad Moules to play as we are down on hookers.

It's a good time to bring him in as we will need hooking cover next year with Howarth going and Sio being useful at 13.
......and the fact that Moore will be banned for half the season.

It will tell us how badly we need to recruit.

Doubt Moules or Senior will make the 17, but looking forward to seeing Crowther who is somewhat further down the development road getting a run out.

My issue is not that Cas can score long range tries, it's that whenever their in the opposition twenty they'll more than likely score every time as teams not just ours seem to crap their pants when the ball is shifted to the outside backs.

Depends whether Dorn is playing. He makes a big difference for them.

...............edit I just checked he isn't in their squad. Still pretty strong though. They start as favourites.
This is it.

Chester's said he'll play some part in his pre-match presser.

Problem for chezzy is that he needs to kirmo some game time before semi ,so one the young lads will miss out

No Kirmond today
