Many could see his potential, although strangely the majority were fans of other clubs. Hopefully Smith/Chase will hit it off starting on Sunday. If they don't, bringing in 2 big money players in a position we already had cover, whilst leaving ourselves severely lacking in other areas, is not going to look too clever.

I'm not sure why the Cas fans on this thread are so worried about this game? Let's face it, we were absolute garbage against Wire and they are flying high with some big clubs already taken care of. Hope i'm wrong, but I can't see anything other than a convincing win for Cas.

hope you're right!

But you've your full first 19 this week and are due a win. After last week we are due a defeat.

I'm hopeful we can turn that round and it's a tight match-up in the squads, but I think you need this win, and will just nick it

Hock is our biggest miss atm and Walton has looked good too. So not a full strength 19 just yet.

I think this game will say a lot about how Cas will go this season. A team flying high after impressive results so far should comfortably beat us with our current form. RL has a habit of being unpredictable however, so you just never know...

I hate to be a pessimistic bugger but I can only see a Cas win, hope I'm proven wrong though! As others have stated we are painfully slow from dummy half and I honestly think the only way we will improve this area is by signing an exciting hooker who can get us moving!

Happy to have Chase and Meli back but I think this game a few weeks too soon for us. Another 4 weeks and Hock/Griffin will be back and hopefully Chase/Smith have clicked.

Hope we put in a respectable performance though.

Cas by 6 (Sneyd's kicking the difference).
