I thought this was the asylum!!

Didn't you watch Hull's wins in the semi and final last year then? Certainly rose for them games.

Of course it does Frostie, Wakefield at home to Salford would have been the bestest draw

Cas have been in three grinds this year so far, and lost all three albeit those games were away from home. But none of the finals will be held at Wheldon Road neither will the CC semi should they get there. I agree with Sal that Cas at their best right now are head and shoulders above the rest but you seldom come up against shoddy defences in the big games or get the chance to play champagne rugby (particularly on a damp cold manchester night in October)

Lets also not forget Wigan have a lot of big guns to return and If/when they do i still see them as THE team to beat if you are serios about winning silverware this year. As for our own chances, the cup draw has helped plenty and we are handily placed in the leage. The club knows what it takes to get the job done in the big games and we still have players, although past their best, still good enough in one off games to produce the goods. All in all, i like our chances much more than i did a couple of months ago and am happy to see us as outsiders sneaking up on the rails for once.

4 grinds mate. Huddersfield away most recently. And don't disrespect them too much as they pumped you lot the week previous.

True, but then again we went away to Hull and put 52 points past them and then a few weeks later Cas' all conquering unstoppable attack with a man advantage for 60 mins away to Hull only managed 24 points. Funny how it works out some times

Better hope he doesn't get injured then, sounds like a one man team

These ex Leeds cast offs adding Zak to the list certainly showing us how it should be done

No, we have internet now.

Ive kept my powder dry on this but you are fu*king deluded if you think you are chance of A trophy without Gale.

likewise us with sinfield

Then or now? Cas are so unproven. Which unproven time in the past went on to trophies without doing the hard yards first! Just for the record making a CCF 3 years ago is hardly doing the hard yards.

I'm still to see Cas get battered and win.

back then. sinfield was that vital, as Gale is for cas now. lose him and they struggle big time.
be interesting to see how they cope with big games and relentless super 8's.
something they couldn't manage last year.
no doubt they are the team to beat now but prizes aren't handed out in may
