yes what i mean is if we win that makes it 4 game son the trot something we never dreamt of before 2 weeks ago. the belief and confidence will be sky high and well anything can happen then

Eorl is back.

I am pleased about that. I just hope he has not been rushed back due to injuries. If he is brought back too early and it goes again we could lose him for a long time. certainly the information from last Sunday was that he would not be ready

Fact?

In the 19. Fact. So is Griffin.

Teams:

Castleford
Owen, Dixon, Shenton, Evans, Wainwright, Chase, Sherwin, Sargent, Hudson, Huby, Ferres, Westerman, Jones, Feather, Massey, Netherton, Faumuina, McGoldrick, Widders.

Huddersfield
B. Hodgson, D. Hodgson, Whaturia, Cudjoe, Lawrence, Brown, Robinson, Korkidas, Moore, Mason, Wild, Lolesi, Faiumu, Crabtree, D. Griffin, Jackson, Kirmond, Larne, Walsh.

Larne and Korkidas to be dropped?

now that pack looks a bit more appealing !!

i saw eorl last week and he didnt look like he was in any pain or owt as he was rushing about through town ,i said at the time i wonder if he is gonna be back quicker than what was originally thought.

WB eorl and griff

i was told on sunday that if last weeks match had been on sunday eorl would have played then, hopefully he is fully fit because we need some power back along with griff we look much stronger for saturday

Game on sky, on saturday = I can watch

Are we just going to stand in silence this week? I did enjoy the quiet last week but I'm pretty sure we should be getting behind the team and giving them something to play for.

Castleford should be scared facing us after the pasting we gave them pre-season.

Huddersfield by 40 points.

we're a different team now lad, our side has gelled we have players missing that day too. Cas by 16!!

I'm just hoping we turn up this week for the cameras. We need to play well so that the rest of the RL world can see that we know what we're doing after last weeks debacle.

Ok then mate.

I'm sure we're really bricking it after beating Catalan in France, Wigan at JJB and Salford at Jungle and sitting pretty 3rd in table.

Tell you what i'll have you a 20 quid bet you dont beat us and if you do by more than 6 ?

4 games in, son. This is not the time to get full of yourself and start offering up bets with more clauses in than Santa's family tree...

We have Sherwin now and we look like we're going to score every time in attack, quite honestly mate this time last year i'd of looked at this game as something we could have got points out of. If Saints and Leeds struggle when they come to Cas what makes him think Huddersfield are gonna slaughter us ?

Do you really think Wadski reckons we're going to win by 40 or do you think perhaps he was being a bit tongue in cheek? My guess is the latter.

We beat you last season home and away, we've beat you in pre-season comfy so references to Leeds and Saints are meaningless. A win is certainly not out of the realms of possibility at all. However, we have injuries and were very poor last week and Cas are playing well at the moment by all accounts.


It will hopefully be a good game.

Ok so you gave us a pasting in pre-season...lets look at our team.

Richard Owen (Plays on wing) - Ryan Mcgoldrick
Jordan Thompson (Doesn't play) - Kirk Dixon
Kirk Dixon (Winger) - Michael Shenton
Michael Shenton (Above) - James Evans
Michael Wainwright (Doesn't play) - Richard Owen
Ryan McGoldrick (Fullback) - Sione Fau'
Rangi Chase (Bench) - Brent Sherwin
Mitchell Sargent
Ryan Hudson
Craig Huby
Dean Widders (Bench) - Brett Ferres
Stuart Jones
Joe Westerman

....

So throughout the team we had 6 players playing in position the rest that played in pre-season are either bench players, out of position or don't play at all.

Great comparison mate

Read post above.

As for Wadski i expected as much

Don't waste your time drawing up these excuses for losing a meaningless friendly. Players missing etc. Neither side were full strength, who cares. That day you were pants. Last week we were pants. Tomorrow one of us, both of us or neither of us could play pants.

Fair play mate, good luck for tommorow let beat team win (Which will be Cas

)

How can the beat team win?

The team that gets beat, by definition, loses!

I'll take being the best team and winning instead, if it's all the same to you...

Don't blow my mind, thats too much for me to take in !

I love your optimism i would settle for a dire 1 Dg to nil if it meant we got two points . Although i would prefer us to win 41 points to 40



You are right about the quiet last week. there were two lads behind me last week singing ' we are supposed to be at home and why arent we singing'.

I felt a bit embarrassed but knew where they were coming from. I reckon that we will be a lot better this week. I actually prefer away games so i am sure we will create an atmosphere.

We were so poor last week that the atmos was never going to go anywhere. Saints I also thought was a bit flat though, we may need to have a good crack at it for 'Quins to try and get everyone going.

B. Hodgson,
D. Hodgson
Whaturia,
Lolesi
Lawrence / cudjoe,
Brown,
Robinson,
Jackson
Moore,
Mason,
Crabtree
walsh
Wild



Faiumu,, D. Griffin, Korkidas, Kirmond, .

if everyone is fit this is how i woould like to see the team line up.

I cannot choose between Cudjoe and Lawrence on the wing it depends Lawrence for defence and strength or cudjoe for attacking.

I would like Eorl to be at second row give us some real strength in attack and then to be interchanged at prop. if we can punch some holes in their forwards hopefully create some gaps for wild, walsh and Kirmond to run through.

I would play Korkidas if nothing else it would get him motivated against his old team and show him the coach has confidence in him.
