Think you'll ease past Bradford 34-6

reckon we'll do em by 10-14 points

Oooh, cruel.

I know enough about the game to predict that you'll comfortably beat the RFL Bulls.

Binks - is that an invite to WR on Saturday?

Classy Cas 28-10 Bulls

They shouldn't be too much of a problem really.
Come on youuu fordss!

I just hope the team dont think like that, the bulls will be smarting from that and cas better be ready

If you came I would buy you anoint bren, can't say fairer than that.

It would be good to welcome you over this side of the common Bren as one of the Wildcats more reasonable and intelligent fans, without wanting to speak on his behalf im sure Binks would also concur.
Obviously you would be supporting the Tigers and we could even supply a scarf to help you feel more at home, though in your langauge i feel the closet Cas fan in you may have an air of verisimilitude about him.

Failing your unquestionable support for us you could entertain me with your in depth understanding of English or even utilise the full range of your vocabulary and become our vernacular speaker

, even assist me with my letter to my new dislike in life - Andy Wilson of the League Weekley/The Gaurdian. Failing that i could buy you a pint and we could discuss how are clubs smashed the Sky/RFL opening weekend and the suffering RFL Bulls

You may be on your own on Saturday however.
Im sure it will be better viewing than squeezing into Belle View (sorry The Rapid Solicitors Stadium) on Sunday afternoon though amongst the 100,000 Hull Kolpak Rovers supporters.

I'll be happy with any kind of win. The Bulls pack, whilst not up to normal Bradford standards, will present a tougher challenge than Salford's. We were effective on Saturday but I didn't see anything to inspire confidence of the big win some are predicting.

Thank you - a very beneficent and eleemosynary offer.

I'm not sure I could manage the scarf though - that's going a bit too far.

Sush, thats the only reason i offered to buy him a pint

Bah - I thought we were building bridges there and you were just mocking me all along.



I meant Sunday of course - just hope that both games can go ahead, given that neither of us have a cheese-grateresque i-pitch, undersoil heating or a roof. BBC Breakfast said the temp could get to -15 in some parts of the country this week, so fingers crossed.

More chance of ours going ahead then

Bren i would be more than happy to buy you a pint when come to cas and have a chat about the game, one of the great things about rl is talking to opposition fans at the game and long may it continue.

I really do hope the game goes ahead, need my rugby fix, tv matches just dont cut it.

Yep since Hicksons closed our undersoil( Ok 10 mile radius ) global warming is defunkt,

but worry not as my gtiphone says it will be 5-6 deg, so shorts for me and Marshman

Beware the wounded Bull, i think this could be a tricky tie, the Catalans are no mugs, i can see them wupping a few this year, so the result last week wasn't that much of a shock.
I'll take you to nick it 28-26.

Tbh most of us Bulls fans knew Catalan would beat us. 20-0 at half time and the second half was 14-12 to Catalan. We played some good rugby but made poor defensive mistakes. Our wide defence was good just poor down middle. Plus we scored the 2 best tries of the game. The build up-s to both were pretty quality. Cats are a top 4 possibly top 3 side this season. Cas arn't (no ofeence) so should be a good game.

Castleford 28-32 Bradford.
MOM - Owen/Chase/Gale
Attendence - 7,340

Think Bulls have a better pack than us - remember this is a far cry from the side we beat in the friendly. Think it's going to be tough and a much harder ask than Salford was.

Cas complacency will result in a 12-21 Win to the RFL Bulls ...

Might add that Basil has a tendency to play slightly weaker teams against the Bulls, well thats what it alegedly says in Shaun Longs book

Its a far cry from the team we put out against the bulls too.

Plus I don't think bradford and salford will be a world apart in league positions this season.

No prediction from me....i don't think the game will go ahead if the weather forecast is to be believed.

True but I think Bradford's depth is much stronger than ours. There's probably only 4/5 players out of their squad from Boxing Day that will probably be in their 17 (Hargreaves, Langley, Manuoakafoa, Donaldson and possibly Joseph may get a run out this weekend).

We had Griffin, McGoldrick, Nash, Milner, Holmes, Jones, Massey, Clark and Snitch.

Any news on the state of the pitch, I know it's still early but given the forecast what chance of the game going ahead, 50-50 or less?
