the form book says cas should win but rarely do cas make things easy for themselves and i expect sunday to be no different,the way i see it going i predict wins for hkr over wire catalans to beat wakey and quins to beat cas meaning it all goes down to the final week where i will the be hoping for wins for wire and cas which will book us a play off spot.

quins 26 cas 24
hkr 46 wire 18
catalans 38 wakey 22

The way we have been playing I wouldn't be surprised if half the team hadn't already booked their holiday leaving on 14 September.

I'm not sure if my memory is playing tricks but we always seem to win our last home game of the season.

Not since 2004 have we lost our last home game.

In 2005 we beat Widnes 68 vs 10.
In 2006 we beat Salford 40 vs 18.
In 2007 we beat Salford 22 vs 16.
In 2008 we beat Catalan 34 vs 24.

Maybe the coaching staff could point out that as Harlequins we have never lost our last home game of the season. Might provide some motivation.

Not very tough games though.

Something big for both teams to play for so expect it to be much harder.

Ive changed my mind on the resuld though, I fancy you lads now, I just think we might bottle it in a big occasion.

28-26 QUINS.

Our 3Qs are dodgy with Howell out, Wellsi sadly past it, Gafa out of form (probably never got over that major injury he had last season), and Sharp being less than sharp on many occasions. O'Callaghan has to get a game and May may (

) be worth another try if he's learned about defensive positioning after the Catalans game.

If Orr and Randall are fit, we can win it. If they're at less than 90% we'll struggle.

No comment, but:

SUNDAY 6TH SEPTEMBER
engage Super League XIV
Harlequins RL v Castleford Tigers 3pm
Ref T Alibert TJ P Marklove TJ J Cobb IG A T Smith IG G Jones RR S Matthews MC J Connolly

This has just turned into the unhappy thread!

I thought each club was getting each ref 3 times-Accepting that is only 18 games – we seem to have had him on 3 or 4 home games I can think of.

Oh well anything goes this week, lets hope part of our planning is based around his inadequacies as other clubs most certainly take advantage of him.

8 metres from the PTB, holding down, off side at the kicks lets get it all in to the game plan.

We're not going to the play-offs.

Quite likely, but I don't think it was Halibut who threw away a winning lead in the last 5 mins against Salford through poor decision making, panic and sloppy defence.

I believe we will win on Sunday!

Should that say I hope we win on Sun as its my last ever game

........really? 24hr flight isn't exactly a different planet is it. I have many friends in the UK and will no doubt come back from time to time. It's only £600 notes and as long as I don't have to land at an airport north of potters bar I should be OK

TBH i think that the week off might have done us some good. The guys got a rest with maybe a bit of gentle training instead of full on sessions. could have given some the time also to get over any little injury concerns that they may have being carrying.

so going to be brave and go for a win (

)

As Howell out, do wonder if worth taking a chance and putting Clubb in at Centre, just for some muscle out there, as long as Mac can get in his head not to keep running out of the line of defence to pound someone into the ground.



As for O'Callaghan for Wells on this one, im not sure Cas do like to kick high balls to the corners, so do wonder if Wells might be better under these (just a question).


One thing please Mac if we are short of forwards dont play a winger of the bench there,give Joe ago or play one of the U21's (like Willams)

Suggests otherwise

Now sherwins back one of our most used attacks is to kick a high ball to dixon in the corner, who being taller than most can catch it and score.

Just returned from a weekend of partying and have seen the light


I believed at the time of posting the 50 point comment I may have been depressed, but now I am at one with the world and have faith in the team I follow

Thats the spirit gutters! Hopefully it will be a cracking game, gutted i'm not going to it.

5 coaches coming down now so hoping for around 500 fans with peop[le in the cars and trains. What stand do away fans go in this year???

You get the East Stand - 7 out of 8 blocks. 1 block for our home supporters in the cheap seats; those who are most important and pump money into the club have their own box and will be in there.

Listy, I have an invite for me and a guest if you're that put out



To answer the original poster, Blocks AA & AB of the east stand are allocated for the away fans when less than 400 are expected. If your 5 coaches are all 72 seaters and full, I would recommend that you contact the Club NOW and let them know, as they may well open up the North stand for you. If the coaches are 49 seaters, then you may as well sit in AA & AB
Safe trip down

49 seaters they are. that will be about 230 fans plus car and train so i would say the 400 will be enough. Cant see many driving down really but hope so.

Looking forward to seeing you all. Hope a few can hang around for a couple of post game beers (coach departure permitting) and I really want to meet that commentator from CASTV

He is a legend

Don't stay on the M1 and then come round the M25. Leave the M1 at Northampton and come down the A43 to the M40 so you miss the roadworks on the M25
