Castleford winger Paddy Flynn says he will have a point to prove if he gets the chance to go up against his parent club Widnes at the Mend-a-Hose Jungle on Thursday, live on Sky Sports 1 HD from 7.30pm. The 28-year-old, who scored 102 tries in 177 appearances for Widnes, says he was sacrificed by the Vikings to make way for new signing Jack Buchanan.Because Widnes needed to free up room on their salary cap for the Australian forward, Flynn was granted his wish for a loan move and last month joined the Tigers on a deal until the end of the season. Denis Betts said earlier in the year he didnt want me to go out on loan because the games would come thick and fast around Easter and he wanted me to be ready, said Flynn.I tried to prepare myself the best I could but the opportunity didnt come - for whatever reason, Im not sure.Then Alex Gerrard got injured and he said they wanted to get another player in to replace him so they had to move someone out on loan. I was that sacrifice. Relive the 2007 National League 1 Grand Final between Castleford and Widnes Flynn, who made his debut for Daryl Powells men in their win over Leeds at Headingley four weeks ago, is out of contract with the Vikings at the end of the season and admits he would love to make his move across the Pennines permanent.And, after ensuring there was no clause inserted in the loan deal, Flynn is relishing the opportunity to face his old team-mates.I made sure before I left that I could play against Widnes when the time came and they were fine with that, said Flynn.They wanted to do right by me and give me a fair chance of playing every game I could to try and earn a contract for next year.Its early days yet but Im liking my time here at Cas and Daryl is getting the best out of me so I wouldnt mind staying if there was an opportunity. Luke Gale starred as Castleford claimed a 30-22 win at Huddersfield Dropped for last weeks trip to Huddersfield after making defensive errors against Wigan the previous week, Flynn is back in Powells 19-man squad for Thursdays game and is set to make his fourth appearance for them.However, he will not be able to play in Castlefords Challenge Cup quarter-final against Wigan later this month after making his only Widnes appearance of 2016 in their fourth-round win over Rochdale.Im a little bit frustrated at being cup-tied but thats the way things go, he said. Widnes suffered a 30-10 defeat at Super League leaders Hull FC in round 17 We played well against Rochdale and gave them a good hiding but it wasnt enough to keep my position, so I thought going out on loan was probably my best option.Ive definitely got a point to prove. I wont do anything different because I like to think I put every effort into every game I play. The only difference will be that I know the players better than anybody else. Rhys Hanbury is Widnes dangerman, says Flynn Flynn has identified full-back Rhys Hanbury as the biggest threat to his new club.Wherever he goes, the ball goes and, with his pace, he can burn anybody off in the competition so we need to look after him, Flynn said.If we can keep him quiet, we give ourselves a good chance.Castleford Tigers: Matt Cook, Ben Crooks, Luke Dorn, Paddy Flynn, Luke Gale, Lee Jewitt, Will Maher, Nathan Massey, Mike McMeeken, Paul McShane, Grant Millington, Adam Milner, Junior Moors, Joel Monaghan, Larne Patrick, Gadwin Springer, Denny Solomona, Danny Tickle, Jake Webster.Widnes Vikings: Pat Ah Van, Chris Bridge, Kevin Brown, Jack Buchanan, Hep Cahill, Jay Chapelhow, Chris Dean, Gil Dudson, Rhys Hanbury, Aaron Heremaia, Chris Houston, Macgraff Leuluai, Manase Manuokafoa, Joe Mellor, Charly Runciman, Setaimata Sa, Corey Thompson, Lloyd White, Matt Whitley.Watch Castleford v Widnes live on Sky Sports 1 HD on Thursday from 7.30pm.

Van Slyke drove in a career-high four runs with two homers off struggling left-hander Tony Cingrani, and the Los Angeles Dodgers pulled away to a 6-2 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Monday night, a rare comfortable win in their pitching-dominated series.Toronto FC return to league action on Saturday against New York Red Bulls but the Reds will be without their most influential player, midfielder Michael Bradley, who has now left to join up with the United States squad for their pre World Cup training camp. After a difficult run in the league, TFC managed to advance to the final of the Amway Canadian Championship in Vancouver on Wednesday night. Despite losing 2-1 against the Whitecaps at BC Place after extra time, Toronto won the tie on penalties. The Form: Toronto FC have lost three straight in Major League Soccer, and their home form has been poor, losing two of their three games at BMO Field this season against Colorado Rapids and New England Revolution. Defensively, the Reds have had some shaky moments in their last couple of league games, conceding four goals at Dallas and home to New England. Ryan Nelsens team will be buoyed by their progression in the Canadian Championship: Its a game we really wanted to win," said the coach following the match in Vancouver. "No matter how we got through, we got through. When you play these games and they go to extra time, it can be a real positive when you come out with a win. Guys have played together now, they will harden up and any 90 minutes they experience in the future will be a walk in the park compared to this." The Big Question: Will Toronto FCs players have enough gas left in the tank? With the Amway Canadian Championship semifinal in Vancouver going all the way to penalty kicks on Wednesday night, there will be some tired legs within TFCs squad. However, Toronto FC had a bye weekend in MLS leading up to the match in Vancouver and have only played seven league matches so far this year, so the effect of a lengthy cup tie may not be as negative as it could have been if the schedule had been more difficult. The Lineup: Bradley Orr partnered Doneil Henry in the centre of defence in Vancouver but veteran defender Steve Caldwell is likely to return to the lineup against the Red Bulls. Mark Bloom and Justin Morrow are set to return in the fullback positions, although Nick Hagglund has impressed this year whenever he has been given an opportunity. With Bradley gone, Torontos midfield could see two young Canadians paired together with the potential for Kyyle Bekker to play alongside Jonathan Osorio, although Osorio has also been played by Nelsen on the left side of midfield recently.dddddddddddd Draft pick Daniel Lovitz was impressive when he came on as a substitute for his Toronto FC debut in Vancouver on Wednesday. Jermain Defoe was left on the bench against the Whitecaps but should be back in the team on Saturday. Ryan Nelsen will be hoping Defoe is motivated to prove a point after being left out of Englands World Cup squad. The Opposition: New York Red Bulls won the Supporters Shield last year, finishing with the best record in MLS during the regular season. Mike Petkes team have had a mixed season so far. They got off to a slow start, failing to win in their first six matches, but since then things have picked up, and they were unbeaten in four - with three wins - prior to losing a crazy game at home to Chicago Fire last weekend 5-4. Whenever the Red Bulls visit, much of the attention is focused on France star Thierry Henry, but it is his attacking partner Bradley Wright-Phillips who has been capturing the headlines of late. Wright-Phillips scored a hat-trick (his second of the season) against Chicago and has now scored eight goals in his last four matches. The London born forward leads the league in scoring with nine goals, and has been developing a strong understanding with Henry. Red Bulls coach Petke and TFCs Nelsen know each other well. They won MLS Cup as teammates at DC United back in 2004. Petke was a finalist for MLS Coach of the Year in 2013 after guiding New York to the top of the standings in his first year in charge. The Odds: With Toronto FCs current poor run in MLS and their disappointing home losses against Colorado and New England, New York will arrive at BMO Field confident of taking at least a point home with them, especially given the loss of Michael Bradley. The Red Bulls have a very good record against Toronto FC and are unbeaten in their last ten matches against the Reds dating back to June 2009. Theyve out-scored them 25-5 during that stretch. In fact, New York have only lost four of 18 meetings all-time against Toronto.
