Quote: Hangerman2 "We will undoubtedly have a blip at some point, and this may be it, but barring that we have too much for this Cas team. To say we play safe is to underplay our game massively, we showed against Hull KR that we can play rugby when given the opportunity. The way we play is high percentage with some great structure near the line when we get there, that is really hard to play against, and you need to be able to match the grind and be patient to match us. Other teams just don't like the fact that it's not as eye catching as the more flamboyant sides but it's far more effective. As i said earlier in the season the only team i really seeing us have very little chance of beating is Saints, because they do what we do, but better, and with far more flair.'"
I think the “safe” option will suit us and our pack on that small pitch. We have been making meters for fun so i would hope to spend a lot of time in castlefords half. They don’t really have any player I “fear” although they have some good players- but no one that you think “oh god” when they get the ball. We now have the pace to match theirs out wide and certainly the power in the middle. Their halves don’t particularly seem to be firing and Levi is certainly a match for mcshane.
Evalds is possibly their biggest danger- but not sure how match fit he will be following a two month layoff.
But like you say we are likely to have a blip at some point, and Cas is never an easy place to go.
With saints v Cats this weekend it’s a good opportunity for us to try make ground against at least one team around us in the table and keep third place. But I expect wigan to beat Wakefield with ease.
