Yeah because we really struggled on the Etihad pitch...at at Hudds (where you lost by a larger margin)

I think both will be close games, ive got a feeling we will win one of them, not sure which.

FWIW, I hope your players have the same attitude as you as they will get a rude awakening if they do.

McIlorum, Sarginson, Farrell and Flower likely to be back according to WEP. Game too soon for Charnley and Pettybourne couple of weeks due to a set back. I would go:

Bowen
Manfredi
Gelling
Sarginson
Burgess
Powell
Smith
Taylor
McIlorum
Crosby
Farrell
Bateman
O'Loughlin

Flower
Dudson
Hughes
Williams

I think it's safe to say that this man's views do not represent the majority, certainly not mine. Two score margin between the two teams at most, either way.

I can see this one coming back to bite you if we lose!

I'll go 20-12 to us, it could definitely go either way though Cas are in great form and will likely target the cup as a trophy they could realistically have a chance of winning if they make it past us

They don't.

Wigan will raise their game back up a level or two this week and they'll need to if we're to stand a chance of beating Cas. They're on fire at the minute and whilst I believe we have a bit more to give and Cas are playing at their peak, we will get burned if we don't turn up with an attitude like we had at the magic weekend from minute one. It's the type of fixture where you must make a steady start. If you go a couple of scores down early it'll be tough to claw it back especially if you panic.

I think we have enough to win but if we do it won't be by more then a score or two. A lot will rest on what players are 'fully' fit for us as well. I don't have an issue with lads like Flower and Faz coming back but I just hope somebody like Micky Mac is fully fit and isn't being rushed.

Expecting a difficult game but we are playing some quality stuff at the moment and should fear no one. Looking forward to it.

32-24 Cas win.

Are you on drugs we are the fittest team in the league you also say we only play well on small pitches we scored more long range trys than any other team. if it is a fast pictch with sun on our backs Cas will beat you 30-10 on slower pitch it will be closer but still a Cas win.

Are you on the same drugs?

Can the mods not do something about these obvious trolls?

Its always funny when fans of the smaller clubs troll before their big games like this.

Like before the GF last year

Trolls?? It's what the fans believe. It's not trolling. Just like I believe you will beat us. Opinions are allowed ain't they??

When did we last lose a home Cup fixture? I'm sure I've read somewhere it was Cas in the 80's?

Ah yes, I remember them. Were they the Wolfs or something?

Cas are doing well we all know that.
It's difficult to know where they will end up though.
They could win all their remaining home league fixtures against Salford, Hudds, London, Bradford and Wakefield.
Their away game are more uncertain seeing they visit Wigan, Saints, Widnes, Leeds, HullFC, Warrington and Catalans.
That's five home and seven away.
As for Saturday, we have a job on our hands here. They are in form, confident and scoring points. Their defence has been very good too. Well coached as well. I do strongly fancy Wigan though. Waney has them rough and tough in big games with the ability to score long range tries. We are a faster team than Cas and although they scored 50 last time out HKR had a man sent off and Rovers can be utterly abysmal at times.
Wigan by 8.

1986: 2-10 to Cas in the quarter final at CP.

Can history repeat it's self. That year we also went on to lift the cup. Here's to hoping.

Opinions are allowed. It's just a case of being sensible about what is posted on oppositions boards. What would the reaction be on the Cas board I'd 8 wembley wonders posted what he wrote on there?

Yes trolls saying stuff like Cas are the fittest side in SL that that your backs will scorch ours is obvious trolling as it's an opinion based on zero facts.

I get some fans think it's a plus point that these forums are a melting pot of all different fans but i'm certainly not one of them. I couldn't give a to$$ about anything another fan has to say unless it's praise for the greatest RL side in history.

Some of your fans are saying the same thing are they not?? On previous years you have every right to but this season you have been just like us apart from we have outscored you and beat you. So for some of your fans to say we will out class Cas and put 40 on them but our fans can't say anything back?? What right on this season alone do your fans have saying this??

This is a public forum and if you don't like the comments as you stated don't come on. Simple.

only an idiot would write of cas for this game. Im hoping for a cracking cc game with a good result for wigan

Me too but with the result going our way. Can't see it though. Looking forward to the trip over though. Bringing the little lad to his first ever away game so it's already a good day for me. Let's just hope it gets even better.

Just watch out for him shouting at the players telling themto 'walk nice'. Thats what my daughter did when she saw her first game on tv and they were running lol
