Incredibly disrespectful to us this year that as well as inaccurate. With all due respect to the teams we face before the tie we have had harder fixtures this year and overcome them. The three weeks before the cup gives us games against

Wakefield (magic)
Hull KR (h)
Widnes (h)

I am in no way suggesting we are about to do the double or not lose another game this year but i do feel the coach and the players deserve a bit more respect than dumb posts like above

I'll go for

Thursday SKY - Widnes v Keighley
Friday SKY - Bradford v Warrington
Saturday BBC - Wigan v Castleford
Sunday BBC - Leeds v Leigh

not intended to be disrespectful.I think cas are doing fantastic and and its great to see them at the top end.
i stated in my post that should the game be played this week it would be a tight one.it isnt though, and things can change very quickly look at saints.

we will see if cas can keep it going,I really hope they do it is the only quarter that has any real chance of being a contest IMO.

You don't mention the fact that things could also turn for you, which could make it easier for Cas.

There is a hint of disrespect; almost like you think the game is won already.

i'm not a wigan fan mate, far from it.just saying it as I see it.I really hope your lot prove me wrong and get the win.

All i hear on these forums is complaints about the gulf in competition in the league, and the lack of competitiveness, but posts like this make me think the majority of people would rather thing's stayed the way they are.

How disrespectful for the efforts of Powell and the players down at Castleford. God forbid another team have a crack at the big time.

Cougars all the way!

I`m going for the first and last match NOT to be televised.

Amended just for FA.

MOT? Are Kwik Fit the new comp sponsors, then?

Why so touchy? RL fans want a competitive league. In reality we have seen it time and time again that a (with all due respect) lesser team looks good for the first half of the season only to drop off significantly in the second. It will be interesting to see if Cas can buck that trend. One thing you have is an excellent coach and well organised side, so do we. If it was to be played next week it would be a hell of a game, in two months time, who knows?

its not disrespectful to think one team is much better than another.

The set of players Cas have hasnt suddenly become top level in the last 9 games. The set of players Wigan have havent suddenly become less than they were because of they have only had a decent start to the season.

There were 15 points between Cas and Wigan last year. That hasnt been overcome this off-season, Wigan are rightly favourites.

The Pies and Cas' should be a cracker, with the Cherry n' Whites just squeazing through.
The Loiners will eventually win by a comfy margin against a spirited Leigh.
Wire win,
Chemics win (though I'd love to see Keighley do it, after all I did name by daughter after them!).

You named your daughter "Cougar"?

Lol, should've done, lmao
