Took us on big time at your place in 09.True Cas arn`t a one man team,just saying Chase is quality,thats all.

A victory by only 4 points? There will be some moaning by the usual crew on here afterwards

I am hoping Cas have already peaked.

Mate,I would take us winning by a drop goal.

You forgot to type FACT.

Didn't realise crusaders were down to 10 men at one stage on Sunday

I'm going for an "ugly" home win.

12-10 FC.

fc by 10 points

You didn't realise because they weren't. They went down to 11 but everyone seems to forget that we went down to 12 at the same time.

Then their full back had a total brainfart pretty much as both sides returned to 13 a side.

Richard Agar has already paved the way if we get beat with his response in the daily wail -

"Our preparation time for this game hasn't been too long, but sometimes that is not a bad thing," .

So you had at least 1 man advantage for 20 minutes or so

Longer than castleford's though

Hull FC 24 Castleford 18

I'm clinging to the thought that after the passion shown by the players in front of the fans at Quins in the last quarter that a small corner may have been turned.....

26 v 16 home victory

TBF they didn't have an exhausting coach/train/whatever ride home from London. And we know how badly that kind of thing can affect a team.

Whilst they need to be treated with respect I don't think Cas are anything to fear. Yes they are 5 from 6 but they have had far and away the easiest start to the season. They got the job done against Wakey without doing anything too special, beating Hudds was a very good result albeit against a team who just didn't perform on the night. They got lucky against Catalans, labored to a win against a rudderless Hull KR and have lost their only away game. Fair enough they whipped Crusaders last week but who hasn't?

Of course if we play like we have been they will win, but if we play to anything like our potential we should win by a couple of scores. Don't get me wrong Cas look decent and I expect them to make the 8 but they are certainly not the force that their league position suggests.

Yeah, exhausting sitting around on your ass for 4 hours on a bus.

Sorry - I couldn't find a sarcasm smiley for my last post.

14 - 8 to FC

High scoring game that could go either way IMO. Home advantage might just see us through 32-28

I did realise, hence my post just in case anyone was confused

Cas have plenty of players we have to be wary of besides Rangi Chase. Danny Orr and Mathers were shrewd signings, and IMO 2 players we should have tried to sign in the off season.

Even without O'Meley I still think we have enough grunt in the pack to tire Cas out....I do think it has the potential to be a high scoring game, but I'm just concerned over what sort of atmosphere there will be at the KC, even before a ball has been kicked.

I'm unconvinced by our ability to 'back up' a positive result like many others. If we conceded 30 to Quins I'm afraid I can see us shipping at least that amount against Cas.

24 - 36 to Cas for me.

32-18 to Hull

need to keep Chase quite and tackle Orr hard in the first twenty just to soften him up (or bandage him up) if not score could be reversed I'm affraid.

either or always a good game against Cas.

I dont think it will be the high scoring game that alot of you are expecting on here, our defence has been the main reason for our wins so far this season and that was the same at Bradford in a narrow loss (we just missed Widders and Orr,s direction). I know many of you have had enough of agar but I am sure he will have the players up for this one and I am also sure Westy will be up for a big game against us but if we have Chase, Orr, Widders and mathers fit and ready to go I just fancy us at around 21 - 14, thats the plan anyway

If we can defend with some intensity THROUGHOUT the game we will win this one. The same number of individual errors at the last game cannot be repeated ..............
