An interesting match in many facets. Will test the theory of us playing well against the top sides.

Test how good Cas are this season if our forwards muscle up for once.

We badly miss Brett Ferres on the left so we will see if PA is more than a one trick pony !! I'd play Bailey there because he can handle the ball different to Ferres but Wardle if released is very dangerous.

It's a respect the ball game for me no trying to score on every play yes in the visitors half but no gifts in the first 20 minutes !! Put the pressure on them.

We are big enough and fast enough to win with a bit to spare if we turn up and now after no cup and a rest it's time to crank it up a bit !!!

My team would be

Grix
Broughton
Cudjoe
Wardle
Murphy
Brough
Robinson
Kaffusi
Lunt
Kopjack
Bailey
Chan
Lawrence

Crabtree
Ta'ai
Patrick
Mullaley

I'd use Bailey and Robbo as interchange when Lunt is off as I believe Cas will try to take command in the pack and we need to front up !!

Larne and Ukuma to play left Bailey and Robbo to interchange whilst Wood hasn't done much wrong he was exposed for me against Wakey by Walshaw and Cas will test us in defence even more hence for me four genuine forwards.

If Brett and Fuey were available we'd be even stronger but as I said now is the time to crank it up there are no excuses on turnaround this week we should be raring to go !!

Only worry is who is reffing hopefully not Bentham or Child

Ref- J Child

i thought it was down to form.. examiner reporter says 'dead leg'

will be interesting to see the selection this sunday

all games are already scheduled by sky for the first half of the season then they pick the best ties of the round come back end of the season

other clubs like london have to be shown on sky sports too

just knew it would be Child for this game



london next week so will prob be hicks

Big improvement needed this weekend from the forwards if we're to get anything from the game, plus our habit of giving penalties/throwing the ball away in our own half will result in plenty of points for a good Cas team, who are more than capable of capitalising on our self inflicted errors. Hope Child doesn't turn up with his jokers hat on again and ruin what could/should be a good game, 2nd worse ref in SL and only just behind that other clown in the middle Bentham. We've got to regain our form sometime, let's hope it's this weekend, not too confident though, our soft underbelly is costing us at the moment, time for our supposed "Giant pack" to stand up and be counted. Get the pack sorted and the rest of the team can start playing with confidence again.

i think they have proved they are serious contenders this year and we must be at our best to get a result.
we usually do ok against them at our place but the tigers are roaring this year and rightly deserve to be taken seriously!

potentially it could be a belting game, cas will bring lots of noisy fans, something they haven't done for a while, will that boost them or will it put pressure on them?

you missed an 's' of the end of child

Great to see Cas doing so well - they have had a torrid few years and we know what that feels like. Good for RL too to have such good competition within the league (or most of it).

Should be a great game - and we will win only if we deserve to - so up to us to turn up, do the basics well, and play to our potential.

COYG!!!

Yeah I know how the schedule works in terms of each team has to be shown x amount of times. My point is, don't put saints at home to London on the box, or Leeds v London or London v cas, show London against teams they will be in a dog fight with or in their local derby with Catalan (28-22) as close to a positive result the broncos have got this season.

Would folk have predicted Catalan London to be a close one? London have a decent record against Leeds in recent years too.

can remember them winning at saints too not long ago! cant see it tonight mind
