How is Castleford going to win given that:

1. The game is in Perpignan.
2. Todd Carney is likely to play.
3. Viliami Sione Tonga is likely to play a whole game.
4. Scott Dureau might play.
5. Castleford just lost at home to a much weaker side than Catalans.


I know that the season has just begun, and lots of things change by mid-season, but does Castleford now have what it takes to win in Perpignan?

Evening Jean. Yes Cas will win next week. I presume you will be on here to congratulate after?

If I was you I'd be more inclined to ask the question, do the Catalan's have what it takes to win in perpignan after their lack lustre showing last friday.

Jean kissing Todd Carneys every other day on this forum is becoming a little bit disturbing

Je regrette Jean, mais je ne vois pas que c'est possible pour une victoire castleford. Mais, on peut espérer. L'addition du Todd Carney qui sera plus difficile se arrêter.

Owd on a minute, cocker. Most folk in Yorkshire struggle wi English, ne'er mind French

Catalans captain -- the former Sydney Rooster prop and try scorer Remi Casty --- is out with a broken hand.

Milner and Gibson out - Clare and Roberts in.

Are you scared Castleford fans? Are you scared?

Don't worry, Todd Carney is in doubt for Saturday.

actually jean i was bubbling with excitement to see him.....shame that i actually was not taking the p**s

on a serious note hope Dureau plays got him in my dream team 50k

I hope he plays too. That brain tumour that doctors found over his eye in 2013 had damaged his confidence. He played reserve grade in the NRL last year to try to get his confidence back. I hope that in 2015 he can recover his 2012 form. It will make the world of difference to the Catalans attack in itself, even without Todd Carney. However, because Dureau is a creative half, it will give Todd Carney more opportunities to play at his best, whenever the two of them finally get on the field together.
