| I agree that the upcoming games will be a real test and with the likes of Saints, Leeds, Huddersfield and Warrington in there, we are facing the best in the competition over the next few week. Wakey are also performing very well and were very unlucky not to beat Saints, so that trip will be very tough as well.
I'm not sure if we haven't faced real tests already however and there's something very different about this team to previous Cas teams I've watched. I've got bored of mentioning that we need competition for places over the years and this year we have that across the pitch. That alone gets players playing at their very best week in week out.
The rugby we are playing is fast and incisive and the defence has been incredible for most of the year so far. I only see the defence getting tighter as well.
We would never have gone to London and won 6-54 last year, or in previous years and to see that level of professionalism is fantastic. Big wins are what the likes of Leeds, Saints, Wigan, Warrington etc. do, where as previously we would have scraped through that game doing just enough.
The upcoming fixtures will be tough and whilst we probably won't win them all, I'd put us on a fairly level playing field with those big sides this year. I feel that all of the games will be tight and that we will give all of those sides a very good game. Win or lose, I'm sure we're in for some great games over the next few weeks
COYF!!!

| Beat Saints by 8 and we go top of the table in 2 weeks. Simple!!
But they did look good tonight with all their players missing :/

Sorry about this but no it's not. The difference is 17 so if we win by 9, not 8 as I stated. We go above them to top as we gain 9 and they lose 9. Swing of 18
Doubt it will happen though but would be nice haha.

Yep, you're right, I was having a blonde moment, and I'm not even blonde (or female !) Still a 9 point win is more achievable than an 18 point one. You never know in a two horse race !

If you live in a country where you can get arrested for fishing without a licence, yet you can't get arrested for entering that country illegally, then you know that the country you live in is run by idiots!

| We'll see how Saints handle the atmosphere down the Lane with another bumper crowd. I have a funny feeling we will do them by +6
