So after our enforced weekend off - thanks MR BENTham

we are back against castleford at home, really looking forward to this game, should be a cracker, expected cas to start well with a good pre season together and relegation this time round, well coached too.how long will it last?

Giants still not found form yet but early days and fancy us against anyone at home.

robinson hoping to return to slot back into the halves..

mcgillvary to return? will be marking carney if so.. think murphy will keep his place so broughton to prob miss out.

any news on larne patrick? came off last time

should be a decent crowd, cas will bring many with riding high in the table..should be over 7k

oh and its £21 in for adults with the click and collect service!!!!!!

ye should be a cracker with a good crowd , i wouldnt put money on the score , hope we hit our form for this one but i reckon our lads will be up for it,and hope the weathers nice. c o y g

We will have to be at our best to get anything from this game. The Tigers aren't just picking up points like we have done with our wins, they're playing some fantastic rugby too.
If we are in the game after 40 minutes I'm hoping our week off will become a positive.
We are capable of stepping up, and if we do this will be a belter of a game with a decent crowd.

The one thing that we do know is that you were certainly one season wonders. Maybe Cas might be the same, only time will tell.

If we were losing and playing well I would worry we were a one season wonder but we aren't! We have been better than all the top teams, apart from Wire, so I aren't worried at all! I think you are like us 2/3 years ago! You might fall off at the end of the season but it ends up being great trust me!

Cas will be good, I don't doubt that, but we have played well against all the teams expected to be up there this year, so I think we will be up for it. If we are then I would fancy us to win this, but if our form is scratchy Cas will certainly turn us over. Eorl, Kaufusi, Koppy and Mullally will need to stand toe to toe with Lynch, Huby et all. Cas seem to score a lot of points with a physical brand of rugby and the pace to exploit the spaces that creates, so we must not give them a lot of easy ball. Ball security is vital.

It will be good to get Robbo and Jerry back. The news I heard on Larne, just after the Wakey game was he had popped a rib but expected to be back for Cas. He has looked very good in the limited time he has played this season.

The various comments that Cas' bubble will burst baffle me for a number of reasons:

1. We should remember how disrespectful that feels
2. They seem to have a decent depth to the squad
3. Even if they do dip a little, top 8 form from here in on top of their start could still see them finish top 4

This is an important game for us, if we are going to come good and finish top 4, we need to win this.

one season wonder? we have been a regular fixture in the top 4 for a while now...you still have a long way to go to get to that standard.

you will not finish top this season thats for sure.

Was mcgilvary I jured last week? Thought broughton played on form? I think he's been very good when he's played, he's fast, can finish well and defend. Jodie and Murphy have been the best wingers this season so IMHO. But we have 3 good wingers, competition is good.

I think the one thing each Giants player needs to remember is Cas are not a side who go in for fast play the balls so we should be looking to be composed after the tackle and avoid the stupid penalties we give away week in week out there, but once they have played the ball their passing is usually swift and clinical and as you say they have pace to exploit any gaps or missed tackles that come about.

I think they are bringing something new to the table and if and when sides work them out they may dip but until then good on them and if it takes them nearer to OT or Wembley than we got in the last few seasons fair play to them. They make for exciting viewing and hopefully we can come up with a game plan that brings out the best in us and the worst in them but I feel we will need to score heavily to beat them but nothing wrong with that and lets step up and meet their challenge head on.

Hard game to call. Potential to be a belter, which with that being said you can understand why it isn't televised but sts v London is!

Probably because the fixtures are chosen so early-before a game is played- I bet when they were announced no one would have picked this game as one to go on sky!

I know what you mean however Sky must have known London would struggle this year so why put them on TV and embarrass them! That game could not have come earlier for Saints
