I think that your analysis is pessimistic to say the least. I think what you've put is plausible, but manageable. I too wonder how poorly Fox has to play to get dropped.

I agree, looking positively I'd say that Cas have a lightweight pack and if we get our forwards back we should be able to bully them down the and create good go forward and an attacking platform for Tim Smith to work his magic.

Fortunately, they don't have a kicking game, which is an area of the game we struggle to defend.

I thought they looked dreadful yesterday - granted the conditions weren't conducive, but without some significant help from Greg Eden, who played like a double agent, they'd have been well beaten.

As had been said though, form counts for nothing in this game - they'll be targetting this one and will want to give their home fans something to shout about.

Greg Eden, man every time I've watch him play recently he's made 3 or 4 cock up's each game. He's obviously talented in attack but god does he hurt his own side.

Just a thought but why would would our game be more significant than any other, presumably if they lose to us they will be targeting their next game to get their season back on track, that is assuming of course that it was ever on track in the first place.

Cas pack looks weak on that showing, hit em hard down the middle.

Mainly because their following two games are away at Saints and home to Huddersfield. Its fairly easy to see from their point of view which is the easier of their next 3 fixtures.

Because their crowds and their support has been on the wain. If they put a poor performance in against us then morale on the terraces will be rock bottom.

I cannot believe you've actually asked that question!

A thousand reasons - well around 5 thousand in total - bragging rights - nuff said!

Absolute banana skin this one.
Cas will be well up for it and if we don't perform we will get nowt.
Yes, they are there to be beaten but, as TRB has already said, this is just the same as the Salford situation and nobody needs reminding about that game.

Come on Trin !

Millward's last game?

Certainly can't take anything for granted on Friday, cas are not Salford, and have some very good attacking players in their back line.

But I think if our forwards dominate theirs and keep good discipline we should be fine

Can't wait

If we can keep ourselves from giving away stupid penalties then I don't think we should have a huge problem against them. Regardless if Timmy is back I think we can do them. We should give them nothing and I hope our team come buzzing after missing this week against Leeds.

Think Webster is injured for Cas. Hopefully Tim is back with Raleigh.Too early maybe for Kirmond. Need to win this one.

Same here or am I missing something

I never realised we had such a fearsome reputation!

Written by the king of the imbeciles Gronk, what do you expect? Just as with everything he writes its wrong and once again he comes over as an total idiot. Par for the course.

Do you lot not get the joke - he knows it will feature on here and that's what he / they get off on. Just don't even bother reading the crap they spout - you will feel so much better for it!

Think it was posted by a fool calling himself The Sheriff.

Yep thats Gronk.

Doh! I'll keep my nose out in future!

Quite an unsocialable lot on that nut job forum, can't have a conversation with them without there being cheap shots especially from that vinniedog

never easy at Cas and we will need to up our defence big time if we are to come away with 2 points I have little confidence in both our wingers under the high ball and thats where Mr Chase will put it
We also need a fit Tim Smith him and big Ali are our only 2 play makers I want to see a lot more from Aiton in that department because all i have seen to date is a tackling machine need more from the 9

That said I will go for 2 narrow wins over Easter

I don't agree, over the last 10 years it's been incredibly easy to beat Cas especially at Cas as the head to heads show.

What worries me is that eventually Cas will turn up and spank us - I'm hoping this isn't the moment but any kind of win would be very very gratefully received.

Now there is a point that will split opinion on here



I think what you see is what you get with Aiton and for all his fine qualities he can't control a game or provide attacking options. However I do think someone to provide some guile at dummy half in the Brad drew mould
is the main factor our team lacks.
