I wonder which one (if not both) of Chase and Hauraki will get sin binned, I'd guess that Cas will target both of them for special attention as they have fiery tempers and together they seem to feed of each other.

I think Cas will win this one. A few extra rest days off the back of a poor performance they'll want to rectify. Rangi. Koukash. Recent enmity between the Clubs. They are pretty much our bogey team in the modern era too. We can win it if we play like we can, but I've yet to see a complete performance for 80 mins in the last two seasons. If Paterson is back and on Carney's side we may have a chance.

I won't be disappointed if Junior is on Carney's side again, they had some brutal hits last year and I tihnk Junior may feel like he owes Carney a little something...

True, but only 4 more than Cas so not a lot in it. I expect us to lose too sadly. I think the extra rest will see Cas through.

Every man and his dog expected us to lose at the Catalans, (mind you, we nearly did )
Keep the faith we will win

I know they have had a extra few days rest but Castleford were awful against Huddersfield and I believe they may be going through 2nd season syndrome.

Who knows what Castleford will turn up on Friday night the team that wants to win it the most will take the points.

Hopefully we can send Sheen back to Australia with 7 points from a possible 8.

This will be a tough game......Cas away is never an easy place to go to plus they'll be on a mission after last weeks disappointment. For me this is the toughest game of the season.

Win this and we truly are making a statement to the rest of the league!

It's impossible to predict the outcome of tonight's game. We could smash them or get smashed. I'm guessing the latter, but I hope I'm proved wrong.

Well last season we were a gnats didger from winning @ The Jungle.

We are surely far stronger than last year with Locke, Hauraki, Taylor, Patterson, BJB etc

Cas have lost Huby, Sneyd, Hauraki & possibly Shenton & Lynch for this match.

Salford are plus 6.5 with sportingbet and surely worth a punt.

Is it 8pm kick off tonight?

Will take a defeat tonight if we beat Widnes the following week. That is the game where hopefully the armchair fans will sit up and take notice with it being on TV.

It would be nice to win both though!

If we get a win tonight a few armchair supporters might actually turn up on Thursday.

True, however I don't think it is the must win game some people are making out. A defeat tonight will largely go un noticed by the wider Salford public (unless koukash goes into another meltdown). Lose against Widnes though on sky and the same old Salford jibes will be out in force.

We have Shenton and Lynch missing tonight.
