That doesn't look a bad side to me only Tompkins and O Loughlan major losses.
And if you had ever played sport at any level you would realise you cannot ever expect to beat another team heavily as there are so many factors that can effect the result on the day. In Super League especially any team can beat any other.

Rubbish side, would fail to stay up in the championship that

Honestly, Is he this cocky before every game ?

The Wigan side was missing 3 key players for me, Tomkins, Mossop and O'Loughlin - Fair enough. But they weren't just edged out - They were battered at home, In a very comvincing display.

We should also have beaten Saints in similar fashion, Daryl Powell was fuming at our last 45 minutes against Saints. As in the first 35, They hadn't actually looked like breaking us down - Got a try from a risky 3rd play option on a kick across, Perfectly executed, And we were all over them, Before we fell off the game plan. And ill discipline cost us.

I have said for weeks, You would be our hardest game remaining. I said this before the Hull game, But I also said I thought we could win every game we had left. We beat Hull and Wigan - And still baffled how we didn't beat Saints.



We are now very well drilled, We will be coming once again I presume with just the 1 half back, as he is as creative as any pairing in the league. And that gives us an extra forward in defence. We have trained very hard since the Saints game - And Powell is very hopeful, He will have a game plan, And if we execute it, You won't be hammering us, Albeit the class may shine through in your side.



I appreciate not all your fans are deluded enough to think you will just waltz by us, It should be a good game, Hopefully we bring a fair few over and make it a good day. (And then Rangi Chase turns up at his majestic best and we win)

TBF mate none of us are actually suggesting we will hammer you

Cas are clear favourites IMO they have turned the corner with Powell in charge, and now have a very effective and structured defence to complement an effective and free scoring attacking line.

We on the other hand have a defeated team of has been who have all been handed their redundancy notice and are a disgrace to the living and past residents of Huddersfield.

Not only that, the Cas fans can still purchase a 2013 home shirt


Seriously this is a massive game for us and we need to make sure we continue the pressure on the big 2 for the hub cap, 2 points up for grab and we need to make sure we grasp them.

ok he has scored a few recently...but before the catalans game (where he got a hat trick) he went 6 games with no try.

and i dont think his recent performances have been upto scratch. im one of jerrys biggest fans just been abit concerned with his for recently and he could lose his wing spot soon.

I doubt very much we will hammer cas, or indeed even expect to hammer cas!
as long as we respect the ball and the opposition we should be ok, but like they said, cas are a different team now and are a threat.
to suggest we should easily beat any team is ludicrous.

I suggested we should win convincingly if we have aspirations of out doing wigan, warrington, leeds etc to win minor premiership and grand final I never said we will !

do we think fielden will be back for this one? certainly due now but i feel mullally deserves to keep his place now, he showed up quite well against warrington

I would give mullally a spot he did ok, and he is trying for a regular selection.

Oh I do hope fielden is back


"Appearing before His Honour, Judge Andrew Saffman, Mr Fielden, who was signed a few weeks after Mr Mason’s sacking, was asked if he thought it was likely Mr Mason would be able to better his current £41,500 one-year deal at Castleford in the 2014 season. He said he doubted it.

“He’s not exactly been setting the world alight at Cas,” he said. In his career he’s not won anything, he’s not been a top performer, I doubt he’ll get more than £55,000.”


If that's not setting the game up for some biff then I don't know what is!

I dont think Mason will fighting with him more like hugging and kissing him because Stuey little spat in court helped KM no end, because if he had said KM had a value of lets say 75k for the next 2 years KM damages would have been less,i hope keithy tweeted him and thanked him i dint think props were daft but stuey blew that notion out of the water, and that coming from a man thats played an hand full of games in 3 years.

I would have doubted Keith would be playing Jools, having been in court all week and not training. I also haven't heard anything about Fielden making a come back this weekend.

I think Stuart gave his honest opinion, having been in the game for a while and won trophies he should have a good idea about how much a prop would get as a salary. Mason has been up and down at Castleford I believe and hasn't won anything; it is ridiculous that he was getting £95k.
