I think to win, we'll need to keep cas to 2 scores or less and Watkins will need to be 100%.
It's hard to see us doing that as cas have cut through our defense at will this season. One of the keys will be how we handle cas when they are on top, busting holes, getting quick ptb and moving the ball quick. That purple patch has basically been our undoing in every game this season, to differing degrees.
With all the variables taken into account such as our experience, hardakers omission, McGuire and burrow leaving, the simple uniqueness of gf night I think cas should still actually win, it just maybe closer than neutrals would have thought.
I know sport doesn't work like this, but I just feel like we're due a gf loss, you know?'"
We need our forwards to be on top. It's the quick ptb that Cas run their set moves off to put their winger on the outside that have killed us against them for me.
I think it'll be close either way
