They just got their first win against the Cats similar result to us.
I think Bradford could be just like Wigan,scrape a win first then start playing with confidence again.
What do we expect,another close one or a easy win?

A tight game, but hopefully we'll just edge a thriller.

I never thought I would say this, but if we don't beat 'em I will be upset.

We'll $hit em.

Cas by 20

Just watching the highlights from yesterday.
They look nothing special.

Yeah it'll be a tough game for us (not sure about for you). Hopefully that win (albeit a lucky one) will give us confidence and we'll give you a run for your money. Should be a good game though. On my birthday aswell! Looking forward to it.

I'm hoping for a good home win for Cas, but I'm getting more and more reluctant to call anything this season.

hopefully Cas will do the job but Bradford are a dangerous team lots of talent in their squad.

It will be a very tough game and i can see us going down to a narrow defeat in this

Cas 20 Bradford 26

i think confidence will now be flowing through there team with their win but we are due a home win cas by 10

I bet this won't be far off scratch this week. Which considering where we finished last season is a massive step forward - must be a few years since we were being considered a decent bet against Bradford.

Head says us 2 start - Bulls still favourites with their squad, but past glories don't always make a current winning team.

Heart says we're favourites and Bulls 4 start.

Who'd be a bookie!!

Like a few I'm sitting on the fence, too tight to call this week.

confident of a cas win.. 24-14 sherwin to score first try

Will the quality of Sherwin and Chase and the power of Sargant, I reckon you'll have the edge. Just.

Play as we have been doing and we should win.
As long as there's no complacency from the boys we should get the 2 points.
Bradford cant be underestimated though, they are a pretty good team when they click.

I'm usually a pessimist, but I'm gonna stick with the optimism again this week...

Cas 32
Bradford 18

If Castleford are leading going in to the last 20 minutes by 10 - 12 points you'll win.

We got to start and win our home games! think this will be a good start 28-12 to cas!

Our expectations are rising. I can 'hear' some booing shortly

With added confidence from the win I am thinkin we'll be to strong for cas this weekend.

It'll depend on how much Bradford succeed in slowing the game down, but Cas should be too fast for them. Bradford are far from the force they once were and I fully expect a Cas win.

I agree you will have confidence from your win

However i would say that our confidence will be superior especially after beating a good unbeaten Hull FC side

I just hope we don't get too overconfident, something i felt we had in the Huddersfield game

Bulls by 12/18

Bulls' will have a confidence boost but if we get them behind there own sticks early i think we could run away with it, We are too good in the halves, Big enough in the pack and deadly enough out wide to mean this should be 2 points tigers

But we arent winning the games we should be


Cas 42 - 10 Bradford Although i wouldnt be suprised if its 16-22

We are, but we also have a habit of letting Bradford beat us with strength out wide. we have the speed and skill, but when it comes to defending our wings we're often weak and that's where Bradford will target us again. Someone give Matterson a nudge for me in case he hasn't noticed this already.
