What do you reckon?
I am obviously hoping for a win.Always look forward to coming to your place.

Hull FC win I'm afraid to say.

Worst attack v best defence in League.

It's all set for a shock.

Unfortunately, I'll be pleased if we keep you below 30.

We dont stand much of a chance unfortunatly.
Attitudes will have to change for us have any chance.
Just cant see it.

Hull should put 50 on us. Enjoy your day Hull fans.

Whenever we play Cas there's always a good atmosphere. Hopefully that will energise their team and create a good match.

Just hope that Tickle doesn't get 9 kicks at goal in this one, or you'll be there all night.

We can't get any worse. 16-30 to Hull. A better display but the same run of the mill 30 points scored against us and us fading off in the last 15.

My thoughts are something on the lines of "oh dear"

What's going wrong at Cas? I thought you had some great talent coming through?

How are your new signings doing?

We seem to be in a rut at the moment. Low on confidence, missing some key players and lacking the experience required to turn it around - something which hasn't been helped by what happened with Ian Millward, no doubt a huge setback for the entire club.

There are two key things we need to do: 1. Cut out the mistakes. 2. Improve our defence. These have both been major factors in the last two results and I'm not sure how easily they can be rectified. Hopefully Ian Millward's experience will be of benefit here.

We've had a tough start and the games aren't going to get any easier so the squad really need to stand up and be counted. I have no doubts that they're better than the recent results suggest. This season will be a test of patience for many Cas fans. As for Sunday, an improvement on last season's result would probably be judged quite a good outcome.

Cas's season starts on sunday .
Cas by 8

We will either win by 8 or get tonked by more than 26.

If Hull get 2 tries on the board early and start to relax, then Cas fan's start booing, booed off at half time and then you are in cricket score territory!

Do not have a problem with getting beat - so a Leeds/Catalans performance - Yes please.
Huddersfield type performance - no thanks.

Hull FC by 18. After watching last Fridays non-performance there is certain things that are unrepairable IMO. A pack that is pummelled every week, a back-line that cannot defend, no pride, no enthusiasm, no depth and totally unbalanced.

Its in the pack where FC will be strong. Last week without O'Meley, it steamrollered Widnes' pack. 9 of the 10 tries scored came from forwards; our halves just followed them around and created openings for the 2nd rows to stroll in on more than one occasion.

Cas need Orr back - even on 1 leg - he seems to be able to lift your side by his presence and adds the organisation that appeared lacking at Hudds. Owen had a rough time at fullback and I would expect him to be given a stern test again.

I'm thinking I don't want to go.

Hull by at least 20.

Good to hear from you Sheldon. Maybe you could send Penny over, I'm sure she would raise something out of our dismal players.

I'm thinking the same but know I will still end up going

Hull by 30 (at least)

Yeah, me too... bladdy season tickets!!



Anyway, speaking as someone who now works in Hull, my thoughts are unprintable on a family forum. I'm not looking forward to Monday morning.

I'm glad i'm on a stag weekend. Don't have to think about this one. Interesting to see that on the cas forum not one person has opted to include McGoldrick in their teams. Trouble is, we all know he will play and people like Thompson who deserve a shot will be left out. Same old, same old.

You never know, we might get a shock. We might concede less than the magic 27 Millward has been talking about and Dixon might do a short kick off and we end up with the ball. Yea right! Cods by 20.

I think a bit of effort, commitment and pride in the shirt is what is needed for Sunday from the team.
Win or lose a performance something akin to the Leeds match would be ok by me.

It would be nice to see us win on a grass surface again



But a Hull win by 16 i fear, though i am expecting a better performance from us this week.

Some of the issues on the field are too deep for Milward to fix this quick, Hull by 30.

Dont mind it to Hull though as im often asked who i will support when RW has killed the club, Only 1 answer Hull FC

Cas by 4....

Orr to score late on

cas will win i hope so
