The trouble with Murphy is that he plays full-back, centre or at a push wing. Arundel has the potential to be just as good, if not better and we obviously have Isa and Goldy who can play there. Is he better than Owen, Dixon or Youngquest? I don't know.

I just hope that this season McGoldrick keeps his mouth shut and not get in the refs face or oppostion players.

He had some awesome games at fb and that's where his future may lie. Think he is better than Dixon and youngquest at present and on par with Owen. One would hope to see a handful of cas and wakey youngsters progress to gb standard.

Young players form goes up and down so it's all a case of wait and see for the likes of mutiny, arundel etc.

Wakey will need to play to the outsides and if we fail to do that and try to batter teams down the middle we will come up short most times I fear unless we get hickey over soon and gledhill back to fitness.

We are going to take them to peices and then a nice night out round Cardiff to celebrate (HT Cas 18 Wakey 20 )
unfortunately with the roof over I can't see the match being abandoned at half-time.

Like others I have a very bad feeling about this one. When it comes to the one off games there is no better than John Kear 1998, 2005 and 2006 proves that.

I am confident however that when it comes to the end of the season we will be at at least 10 points above Wakey.

My prediction Cas 20 Wakey 30.

JK will no doubt have them so fired up they will be practically headbutting the walls in the changing rooms before KO but i would only expect this enthusiasm to last for 40 mins and by that time our superior level of class should come through and i think a comfortable last 30 to 20 minutes for Cas finishing with a winning margin of approx 16 -26 points maybe 36 -16 to Cas.

You should be worried about your team if its anything less

Really????
They say friendly games give you no information on how a team will perform during the season. That is complete trash. Wakey have been taken to the cleaners by Leeds and Bradford and didn't beat Dewsbury by many. Losing a friendly by 10 points probably means nothing, but having 80+ points put on you in 2 games means your defence is shocking. If we don't score at least 30, I will be dissapointed.

I think you will be disapointed but I hope your not. I have seen Kear pull it off in the one off games to many times.

Hear what you're saying Garth but this is arguably Kear's worst side and you can only play with the cards you're dealt.

I will stick my neck out, I think we will destroy them. You can't play in SL with two props. 42-16 to Cas.

I'd second that. Dont normally say were going to destroy any1 esp when playing WT but this is the most upbeat Ive been for a long time at start of a season.
Wakefield to come out all guns firing in first 10 mins, but a few quick try's from the tigers and few flood gates might open.

Biggest winning margin of the weekend, puts Cas top of the league after round 1

You think beating us on saturday will give you the last laugh? Think again matey.
