Yeah every game for the rest of the season is massive, but now after that win against Bradford, our next 3 games are absolulty MASSIVE, taking into account the teams were playing and the others around us. Hopefully by then our squad will be upto full strengh by then (fingers crossed) and could give us a real good push set us up well for a good finish.

Im not saying we WILL win our next 3, but we can, and do have a good chance, and if we do, we will be in great shape.
Theres certainaly going to be some movers and shakers over next 3 weeks IMO, I just hope we can we our games and lets see what happens.
What everyone else's thoughts? and were do you think we will be after the next 3 weeks?

I think 6th-8th, but ill sit on the fence and go for 7th

I'll be gutted if we don't beat the cod heads regardless of how $hite we are at home.

They're not a bad team, but I don't think they've won more than a couple since we beat them at the Boulevard.

Salford have improved rapidly since being easy beats and that'll be a test.

We never get much against Wakey, but I'd give us a sniff away from home.

I think we'll just miss out on the play offs this time, but 9th or 10th will be an adequate improvement,

Poor choice of words in the title.

Yeah I should have put....lets keep hold of it over next 3 weeks

Ive gone for 6 if we can go on a little run we could end up there but just as easy we could end up 10th but with Key players due back could Key to our succses.Jamie Bloom does not have many good things to say about Cas but he hope we do make the play off because we cause a few shock in the style we play.

it really is a fine line between success and failure, just hope we can start and put some of our games to bed, I cant handle this 2 point win/lose margin stuff, why the ball wasnt kicked into touch or even hoofed out of the ground on our last play is beyond me, our composure nearly cost us the game again

Not saying we will, not saying we won't, but the next few games will cement or destroy Cas' top eight ambitions. We've seemed to halt the slump at least, but we'll need to do better than win-lose-win-lose from here on in.

I've gone for 7th, but IMHO to get there 5 wins from the remaining 7 are required. From here I'd say that means only conceding points to Leeds and either KR or Goons.

I think we will get beat next week.

Ive just got a funny feeling, its going to be our only convinsing win, barring the win against salford

With keys players coming back I'd like to think we can finish the season of strongly.
It would also be nice if we could get some convincing wins to sort out our points difference.

After a bad run I'm going to stick to my pre-season prediction of 5th.

Going back a bit aren't you? Don't you mean KFC Stadium?



Six points would be superb for the next three games.

Aswell as being amazing, it would mean we would have won 4 on the bounce, can't remember when we last did that.

2002. We won 5 on the bounce.

We are at home so I'll not be surprised.

Wish id bet on my first week predictions now



Harlequins RL v Huddersfield Giants
Wakefield Wildcats v Leeds Rhinos
Wigan Warriors v Catalans Dragons
Castleford Tigers v Hull FC
Warrington Wolves v St. Helens

Well, after propbally our best perfomance of the season, next week's game becomes HUGE, were are now TIE 5th. Quinns will find Catalan away a real tough game, Wakie entertain St's away which is not going to be easy, Wigan play Bradford depends which Bradford turn up, could be a tough game for them. Hull entertain Celtic, which I beleave they will will, but are they now too far behind. And we play Salford away, not going to be a easy game at at, very inconsistant and could turn us over if were not on top of our game. But a win SHOULD put us into top 8 again.
If we play like today we shouldn't have any problems, and with Sherwin back, maybe, just maybe were going to peak at just the right time.
Comon Tigers and a exellent performance today, and I would aslo like to say Rangi you are a STAR

You are doing a good job with this thread mate. Good idea!

the games against quins,wakey and wigan are crucial in our season and where we finish imo we need two wins from those games to make the play offs three wins and we could look towards the top six loose all three and its season over.

Agreed Quinns, Wakie and Wigan are all 4 pointers, but we need to be taking it a week at a time, no point putting our eggs in 1 basket for these games and losing to Salford and Celtic, no disrespect to them thou. Every game from now on in, should be classed as a cup match style A MUST WIN.
We do seem to be learning from a mistakes through the season, lets hope we have, as we do have some quailty players in our squad

I think providing we beat Salford next week we will make the play offs.
Then who knows

I think we have a team that could beat anyone on our day. We've hit form at the right time..lets hope we can keep it and take it into the play offs

If we beat Salford next week, with Wakie playing St's, we should pack out bele vue and shout the boys home

Week 2
Catalans Dragons v Harlequins RL
St. Helens v Wakefield Wildcats
Huddersfield Giants v Warrington Wolves
Bradford Bulls v Wigan Warriors
Salford City Reds v Castleford Tigers
Hull FC v Celtic Crusaders

5 Wigan 21 11 0 10 91 22
6 Wakefield 21 11 0 10 4 22
7 Castleford 21 11 0 10 -41 22
8 Harlequins 20 10 0 10 18 20
9 Warrington 21 10 0 11 -50 20
10 Catalans 20 9 0 11 -45 18
11 Hull FC 21 9 0 12 -84 18

All is going well, and the mid table battle is really taking shape. Wakefield result was a massive game for them, whould have been nice if we could have been in outright 6th, but weve got that chance next week, in playing Wakefield and a good chance in going 5th with Wigan playing Leeds.
I said at start of this post we could have won our 3 games, and weve got 2 of them and 3rd win would put us in real good shape.


Coming up!

Harlequins RL v St. Helens

Wakefield Wildcats v Castleford Tigers
Warrington Wolves v Salford City Reds
Wigan Warriors v Leeds Rhinos
Huddersfield Giants v Catalans Dragons
Hull Kingston Rovers v Hull FC


Well so far all as gone as I though apart from Wakefield

but at start of this post and even more now, I see this weeks coming fixtures as the MOST intresting out of the lot. Lots of things could happen here, IF we beat Wakefield and with Quinns and Wigan having tough games we could really get some breathing space but a lose would put us back in the dog fight. Who knows? IF FC put 1 past KR we COULD see ourselfs in 5th and 1 pont behind KR with them coming up next...but I'll leave that for another post if all goes to plan



A lot of ifs and buts, but our destiny is well and truley in our OWN hands. But 3 wins on the spin and 4 out of 5, we going well. Keep up the good work boys.

Hoping its going to look something like this.

5 Castleford 22 11 0 10 ?? 24
6 Wigan 22 11 0 10 ?? 22
7 Warrington 22 11 0 10 ?? 22
8 Wakefield 22 10 0 10 ?? 22
9 Harlequins 21 10 0 11 ?? 20
10 Catalans 21 9 0 11 ?? 18
11 Hull FC 22 9 0 12 ?? 18

Fingers crossed, and lets pack out belle vue and break our hoo doo

Tbh I can see Wigan doing Leeds next week...

Maybe so, we just need to concentrate on our own game, if we do that, we cant fail.

That's what worries me
