Thread cleaned up.

Can we please cut out the personal insults, the bickering and petty squabbles? And for goodness sake could some of you actually proof-read your posts before clicking the 'Submit' button? Five year-olds would be embarassed by the content in some cases.

Now let's get back on topic...

I think it'll be a tough game for the most part, but we should win it comfortably in the last 20 minutes. Halifax have plenty of confidence at the moment and they'll carry that into the game and take it to us early on.

As fast as they play in NL1, Halifax will need to slow the game down to be able to cope with the speed of our play and with the referee being Steve Ganson, they could well be punished for doing this.

The telling factor is going to be on how we rise above any attempts to slow the game down. If we let ourselves get dragged into a scrap, anything could happen (Harlequins at home is the prime example here); play our own game and it should be a comfortable win, without us ever really getting up to full speed.

There should be a decent crowd too, although it probably won't include me due to the switch to Saturday evening - I currently have other commitments.

Tight first half, Fax to tire around 60 minute mark, 36-12.

Several 'Watene is a Cas fan' chants, Faumuina to be heralded hero/villain/anti-christ, terrace coaches telling Matterson what he is doing wrong followed by banal threads on here disputing attendance/referee incompetence.

we should be ok for the first hour. but you being full time will tell on us in the last 20 mins. i hope i'm wrong. either way it should be a cracking game some good banter a good crowd and a bag full of points.

Is it me or are predictions getting WAY too specific these days?

I have to admit I'll be rather disappointed with our defence if we concede three tries or more.

Straight to golden point this year I heard.

Then again, I think that was mentioned on the BBC during coverage of Catalans v Bradford so it's probably nonsense.

A little surprised at most of the Fax's fans confidence to be honest! Should be a good game however...Cas by 20

Bonzo our defence has more holes than a colander at times, id be surprised if Fax don’t score more than 3 try's.
