Looking forward to this, should be a cracker. Hopefully we'll bring a decent following like we started to do at the end of last season.

I was surprised with your result last weekend - if I'm honest I expected a similar scoreline in the opposite direction. There's no doubt you're starting strong again, as you have the last couple of seasons. I just hope we're ready for you because the change in intensity from last week is going to be pretty hefty I'd imagine.

It's a potentially cracking game and I hope justifies a 1st v 3rd Yorkshire derby!

For the good of rugby league showing live on Sky I hope it's a close hard game. From a selfish point of view I hope we've won the game by half time
In patches you looked a good side last weekend but I think you'll have to play a good 80mins to beat us on Saturday. I just don't want a rerun of our last fixture at your ground.

Can't wait to get back down the lane for the first superleague game of the season.

I hope its a good game with a Cas victory and i don't care if that is by 1 point - hope the lads remember our home game against giants last season, they wound Broughy up and he made so many mistakes he was almost our man of the match Come on you fords!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm so excited. I went Cardiff but I can't wait for the 10minutes before the game starts.

I just hope I'm still excited at half time.

To be fair, you have brought decent followings on your last few visits including those for friendlies. On the down side a lot of those extra fans seem to be newbies with a tendancy to berate every single decision against the giants regardless of it's justification. I stand in the section of the Princess St you guys frequent and find it hard to have the same type of informed banter that we enjoy with say the Hull (FC) fans.

As regards the match itself I expect a fairly tight contest with your defensive organisation and extra quality accross the park taking the game away from us in the later stages. You might not finish in the top 3 but I fancy you to make the GF....although that same prediction has cost me a fair bit in the last couple of seasons.

wonder what team people would play, personally i'de go for something like this

Mathers
Dixon
Arundel
Isa
Youngquest
Chase
Huby
Hudson
Fozzard
Jones
Aspinwall
Ferres

Widders
Milner
Jackson
Emmitt

What 20 fans?

@Riihilahti Holmes to be dropped is a bit harsh after his performance on Saturday. It was the first time I'd seen him play in the flesh and I was very impressed. I thought he got through a lot of work and was impressive. Also Walker made more metres than any of our other forwards.

I guess it's nice to be in such a position rather than one where the 17 picked itself every week.

How cocky is that! You plan to play us with 12. You don't even want to play Orr?

I hope Nathan Brown selects a full 17

Steve Ganson handed the whistle.

Castleford Tigers v Huddersfield Giants 6.15pm (SKY)
Ref S Ganson TJ T Martin TJ P Grundill RR R Cowling VR R Silverwood TK R Tennant MC I McGregor

Just noticed the RFL still list the 6-15 KO time.

Looking forward to it as i always do my visits to Cas...always have a good crack with you guys even if we do get a bit of a thumping ( hopefully there will be no repeat this year!!).

should be a good game i think and i've actually tipped you guys to finish 6th - 8th this year .
hopefully we'll have some good banter with the Cas lot in the Boot room pre match again !
Good luck for the season folks
