What a game this could be! The perfect game before the playoffs.
Saints are going to come and play like they're in a final with a chance to guarentee the league leaders shield. The first piece of silverware for Nathan Brown on offer and his old student Paul Anderson can be the one to stop him!
This is going to be very exciting for the neutrals and nail biting for the home and traveling supporters.
Wonder if our CC exit will be on our minds as we go out to shatter our oppositions chance of the top spot. Revenge could be sweet.
I'd expect our strongest team out this time round after our slow start in last years playoff game against Wigan.
IF we have a full team to play with, who's going to miss out?

We need a good performance more than anything else. One to stop a fired up Saints side and Two to get us ready for the playoffs. If any players have knocks don't risk them. Rumours have it we have Mr. Bentham as video ref so should be an interesting game. COYG!

Very excited for this game!!! think it'll be close as both teams have lots of reasons to step up and play.

I do hope we win as I really don't want to watch another team be presented with the LLS at OUR ground after we had it there last year #COYG

i doubt it will be presented to saints on friday if they win it.
like i said,performance is irrelevant winning is everything now, we need to just concentrate on winning games not playing well now.

Winning is vital for our best playoff opportunity and for a second chance should we need it. We don't win though.. It's Widnes at our place for the first game...
For me, I agree we DropGoalGiant, we need a good performance going into the Playoffs. Players who perform well and work on there own game as well as team combinations is needed before the playoffs. Winning on skill won't get us anywhere near the grand final.

All the makings of a cracking game, just what we need going into the playoffs.

we had a few players struggling yesterday so may not be risked... crabtree/lunt/robinson... grix and cudjoe to return?

the thing is if cudjoe returns who do you drop! murphy or broughton!?

should be a good crowd.. over 6k maybe 7k

And without Broughy apparently? Yeah should be a great game

Rumours on Twitter Broughy took a knock to a rather delicate area, just a case of sitting back and waiting to see if it gets better.....

he has had a problem holding the ball(s) so to speak!
would miller get another call up? or if grix is fit, grix at 6 and keep connor at full back?or maybe bailey to play in the halves?

Maybe it's also a bit of a case of wrapping him in cotton wool for the play-offs !!

If he doesn't play i think it will be Bailey and Robbo in the halves with Lunt and Fooey on hooking duty, possibly Leeming on the bench......I would like to see Connor keep his place, he's a talent we need him to keep playing and learning .

As a Cas fan just do us a favour and win.

yep brough wont be playing, took a knock in the balls!

so the 11/8 for a saints win looks even better now.

would think bailey and robinson go in the halves.

Is this definite ? or just another forums rumour

I think giants just want to finish fifth
