Oi! Us Cas fans aren't that bad.

Seems we're a team of glassbacks. Is there an injury list as long as ours in the league?

I'm afraid pessimism has crept in already this end. Cas by 20, mostly down Ah Van and Sykes' side.

Well, I've voted for a Bulls win.

Cas are playing well at the moment but the game where we stop making the silly errors and backing up with giving the opposition a penalty is the game we will win convincingly. Hopefully this Sunday.

Possibly some team changes after being handed our asses by Hudds, I would like to see Royston back, he hasn't done anything worth being dropped for IMO.

Of course there is, it was just unlucky that two of our injuries were our scrum half and stand off.

I think Bulls will take this one.

I fancy us to win this one. Cas are a fair side but hardly a 'top' team, despite early indications and haven't played away from the Jungle much either. I'd like to see Royston back at fullback as we missed his attacking skills and backing up last weekend. I fully understand Potter's wish to 'try something different' or even to 'give someone else a chance' but for mine the Cas game is one where we are in with a good chance of the points, and we should be putting the best we've got available out on the paddock.

rlBulls options weakening ahead of the weekendrl

I think I might have to take that back after reading about Finnegan and Raynor!

I'm sure I heard that Leeds had 9 first team players missing on Saturday though.

Finnegan and Donaldson don't seem to be on that injury list.

Well seeing we have Saints away next up this is a MUST WIN game for me or we are in big trouble even though its early days...Then we have Quins (just turned Saints over) at home, Hull FC (starting to find some form) away, and Salford away (we usually slip up there!)

That means we could be going into Easter well out of it unless we win at least 3 of the games mentioned above.

Cas, Quins and Salford are MUST WIN games IMO.

Donaldson's return to the first team is imminent, and he has featured in the last two U20 games. I wouldn't class him as injured at the moment.
Finnigan is a Sheffield player at the moment, and thus will be left off the list.

Pre-season I would have taken Bulls by >12. Now it is fairly even. Apart from the Hudds game, which was the most complete performance I have seen for years in SL from Cas, they haven't beaten anyone they shouldn't really have. But what they do now have is confidence & a belief they can come back when 2 scores behind. Something I'm not sure Bulls do. That could be the difference.

Sunday will be a hard test for the Bulls.

Another re-jig of the back line due to the loss of Raynor.

I'd imagine it'll be Royston returning to full back, with Sykes moving to left centre.

However, perhaps moving Royston to left centre with Sykes at FB might be a better option, as Royston's defence might help out Ah Van.

I'd not consider breaking up Platt and Ainy as they're settling in to a good partnership down the right hand side.

Massive improvement is needed following last week's performance. But that's not something that I think needs drumming into the team. They know they didn't perform, the coaches know it and the fans know it. Best to draw a line under it and get back on the horse. Worse thing the team can do is focus on that failure as that doesn't help anyone.
