A point is a point even if it was a point lost in the end, time to get back to winning ways by stuffing the future Championship team down the road in front of what should be a packed stadium.

Vowles is back for the game, the team are playing some wonderful rugby and from what I saw tonight Wakefield don't know how to deal with players with pace or runs from dummy half, so big games from Chase & Clark expected.

Irrespective of the names on the Wakey team sheet, this will be a very tough game. If we don't match their enthusiasm, we will get beat.

The euphoria around our start needs tapering imo, yes lets all enjoy it, but if we disrespect any team in the league, we will get beat. The players need reigning in, we need to get down to the basics and show that enthusiasm that we had in defence in the earlier games. Complete the sets of six, no fancy dan kicking early in the tackle count and grind out the wins. As Matterson said last night, let that be a lesson to learn - for all of us.

It's quite easy and underestimate Wakefield based on that performance last night.

They were playing against a St Helens side at the top of their game and far better than us (realistically).

Wakefield know how we play and will have a game plan - stop Chase, stop Orr and the game's for the taking. We all know how Wakefield play when the chips are down and for me, this could turn out to be a game like last night.

Cas 28-14 Wakefield.

Wakefield this season so far: played 10, won 3:

Beat: Quins (H), Catalan (A), Hull (A)
Lost: Cas (MM), Salford (H), Leeds (H), Warrington (H), Bradford (A), Huddersfield (A), Saints (A)



In the past we've been notoriously bad at beating teams well below us in the table.... and I still think about the Fax game many years ago when we were top after about 13 rounds, they were bottom, we went to Thrum Hall, got hammered and the wheel came off the season BIG TIME after that.

Good Friday will be a tester, similar to another Fax game of 1999 that we played just after we got dumped out of the Cup semi by London. If we play as we can play, we ought to win it. If we faff about, they'll take us to the cleaners - no question of that - Kear will have them pumped for this one.

Cas to win: 26-22
Att: 11, 500
MOM: Danny Orr
First Try: Joe Arundel

I predict a close game and we might just edge a thriller.......




Just for you Towns!

My dickies bigger than your dickie....
