You were 12-0 up after 13 minutes at your place last year, then went in 12-14 down at HT.

We were 8 point underdogs at Wheldon road last year and we had 11 first teamers missing. I think the week before we hado been smashed 56 10 by Warrington. Think we were 6 point underdogs for the reverse fixture and luke gale was 10/1 to be motm .

Though I agree, I can't remember us being favourites for a game against leeds. I think it will be a tight game, decided in the last 10 minutes.

Anyone know?

Groin injury, said before the season kicked off it would probably be a month before he was ready, so by that timeline he might be a week or two away. May well copy what they've done with Delaney and send him to Fev for a game first though.

It was our interchanges second half that did it at our place though. Millington, McMeekan and Springer came on with about fifteen to go if I remember correctly.

So which ones Leeds start the game with is irrelevant then. It was 3 tries apiece, goal kicking and Leeds wasting a long break by Sutcliffe in the 2nd half were more the issue.

Perhaps. I suppose it's more to do with being able to react and use interchanges as the game evolves.

that's BM totally screwed then

I wouldn't be over confident from a Cas point of view while our tormentor in chief (Ryan Hall) is on the other side of the field!

Zak chase gale Roberts against Golding mags burrow Sutcliffe looks a tad one-sided to me!

Thought cas played well against Wire, but only in patches. They had that spell where they put a lot of points on the board, but gave away a fair few soft tries and kept letting wire back in to a game they didnt really have any right to be in, and as good as Cas were going forward (and at times they were very good), i think that Wire will be very disappointed with some of their defence.

I think we have defended really well over the first three games and if we can carry on that it will be interesting to see how Cas' gameplan holds up if they arent on the front foot and putting points on the board. Parcell has looked good around the ruck, and wire had some joy there last week too.

Really can't pick this one, I can see Leeds defending really well and Cas making a few poor decisions and pushing it in the wrong places, giving leeds easy points and perhaps and unexpectedly comfortable win. I can also see Cas clicking early and Leeds defence falling to pieces and embarrassing us. You would expect the better defensive side to win a tight game and the better attacking side to win a more open game. I think its pretty obvious we can't go punch for punch with Cas, we arent going to win a shoot-out. You would also think Cas' arent going to be able to sneak an 6-4 win.

I actually mostly agree with this, it could be one of the following 3 results....

Cas 34 - 16 Leeds

Cas 12 - 14 Leeds

Cas 8 - 8 Leeds

A lot depends on the weather, if its dry for the next 3 days, I can see a fairly open game. If its wet, it will be slugfest. Not over confident, just looking forward to a good game.

I hope everyone has a safe short journey across on Thursday.

Cheers. Travelling more in hope than expectation but our game at yours is invariably one of the most enjoyable occasions the season offers.

A win a loss or a draw? No sherlock!! Hahaha.

Well, if you can score more points than the opposition you've got a very good chance of winning the game.
And, there is usually a better than average chance that the game will end in a result.

I like to cover all bases....



As you can see from the scores though, there is quite a difference with how i see it could go.

Now Ablett charged with Grade B contact with the referee.

Just seen it, not good at all. Surprised he only got a grade B for it.

The silence of one particular individual on the failure of the ref to do his job correctly is deafening. It appears that noise only occurs when it involves a player from another club... like Justin Carney for instance.

[i"It's his [referee's job to deal with the players, failing to do so isn't a good thing"

"The ref using his yellow and red cards for verbal abuse or physical contact towards him isn't confrontational......it's him doing his job correctly"

"Do you think players should stay on the pitch for contact with the official???"[/i

The charges only got released in the last hour you idiot



Haven't yet seen the Ablett incident to judge.

Again a different type of incident to Carney or the Catalans player also charged this week which happened when play had stopped,
