I'm pleased CC has the bottle to shuffle the side, which will bear little resemblance to the Salford game.
It's now up to the players coming in to get stuck in and stake their claim for their place in the team.
As long as they go out and TRY I don't mind the result - as long as we win!

The comment maybe tongue in cheek but, the shorter pitch is a huge advantage for Cas at home.
You guys know how do deal with having a few inches less

and make the size of the pitch work for you really well.

really can't see anything but a loss, i want to try and be optimistic but i think it the realization that we haven't beaten these in that long. ill still be there cheers the lads on either way

Always some one that has to introduce smut into the conversation.

What, smut as in turf or grass?

always good for a laugh though

If Saints thrash Salford tonight we could go up a place?

Looks like we are going up a place

How the hell did we capitulate to that shambles of a team? Saints 60 - 10 Salford and Saints played over half the game a man short!

Up to 7th without even playing. If only we'd had not let ourselves down by recent standards last week against Salford.

Up the Trin

How the hell do you work that form out? Saints thrash Cas, Wakey lose to Cas but beat Saints and then get wupped by Salford. Salford then get thrashed by 12 man Saints. Owt could happen tomorrow.

We can lose by 45 and still hang on to 7th.



Looking at the respective packs I think we'll get steamrollered in this area, especially with the return of Moors who regularly rips us apart.

All positive vibes eh?

The first part of your post made me chuckle



I cant see past a Cas win and if we dont get our heads right it could be 50+ points.
However, anyone tring to read the form of the last couple of weeks will have a headache.

Just how did we beat Saints and then get thrashed by Salford, who themselves get stuffed by Saints.
It's just mad and it's the unpredictability that gives us a glimmer of hope (a very slight glimmer).

Looking at the weather forecast, it could be similar conditions to the last time the two teams met. I can't see either team scoring 50+.

Reckon it'll be a close one between us and you. Both teams coming off the back of a poor result each. Weather doesn't look great and your due a win against us. Wouldn't surprise me if you knock us off tonight. I think we are stronger in the forwards but you stronger in the backs. Hopefully it'll be an entertaining game anyway!

Its obvious what happened at salford...we went there on a 5 day short turnaround having emptied the tank to beat the best team in the league by a country mile! Just watching Saints it shows how well we played to beat them...we needed to freshen things up like they did making four changed in their forwards...

What Salford cant cope with is pace...makes it more of a headscratcher that when we played them Johnstone and Caton-Brown were both sat in the stands...both whove had success against Salford in recent seasons...

Best thing to do is just put a line through that game and forget about it and move on...id expect to see more like the team that beat Saints and pushed Hull and Leeds all the way tonight...

Our best chance will be out wide...if our forwards can handle what looks a formidable pack i fancy us...Webster and Minikin were torn apart last week and although Shenton and Wardle are good players with plenty of experience, there looks a real lack of pace on that side too...we need to go round them and with the pace we have all across the back line weve every chance...need to test the back three with plenty of high balls too as they look vulnerable there...

Last night i had a dream that we tore them apart right from the off with a MOM performance from Rocky Hampshire. Fifita played and had an absolute stormer and Pauli Pauli smashed em down the middle and even went over for a try. Last week i had a nightmare that we were thrashed by Salford and the week before i had a dream that we just edged the Saints game. Im starting to think that I could have a special talent here

This was then followed up with nightmare that i got ran over by a milk float outside the ground on Wheldon road so il have to be on the look out for that. Think id take a bit of bruising for a victory tonight

I'm getting the word.........

Whats Tommy Duckfingers even on about?

Are we talking the "F" word

It would be more of a surprise if Fifita doesn't play.

Was that the same dream in which you saw Salford edge a narrow victory against Saints?

I wouldn't pin too much in it - I don't think you've developed the gift of prescient visions just yet.

He's no Clinton Baptiste, thats for sure.

Nope that was a prediction, the same way i predicted we would lose to Saints and beat Salford but got that wrong

Obviously in your eyes a dream and a prediction are the same thing
