Thought I'd kick this off and running



to be honest I would be as shocked as ever if we win.

Although from what I have heard from Wigan (coaches, fans etc) it's just nice to hear that we seem to have so much more respect from top teams this year and it isn't anticipated tobe the old "show up, score 40, go home" scenario we've had for a good few years now.

We are playing right up at our potential and this is the biggest test yet - though I think this might be a step too fr. We are 3 from 3 but obviously won't be 27 from 27, and I think this will be our first taste of defeat... though it isn't unfeasable we win!

I'd say it's 30:70 at the moment - your main issue being returning players clicking back in and performing. If they do you win, if not, it'll be close.

A good game and bumper crowd will see me go home a happy cas fan



Heart: 28-24
Head: 16-30

See you Sunday!!!!

Cas have traditionally given us a tough game throughout the years at Wheldon Road, even back in our glory days. I expect tjis weekend to be no different. The atmosphere should be extra spicy due to your perfect start to the season.

Wonder if the Cas commentator is still employed by the club! (get him off Cambell you nobhead)!! Haha

He is Matty! Mick Morgan commentates on EVERY cas game and you can buy the DVD's online from our shop



if you guys get a win it'd be worth buying (they'll be available on Monday) although prepare for his outrageously biased description of the game



He's taken to telling jokes during matches this year when there's any breaks, which are usually rubbish but it's how ya tell 'em

Mick Morgan commentary Bulls vs Tigers 2011, Dean Widders has just scored a 60m try for the Tigers. "he doesn't go that far on holiday". "I can't speke".

Another Morgy classic. When interviewing former GB forward Kieth England.

Morgy " Kieth, what game did you make your debut for Castleford?"

Beefy "I didn't, I missed it through injury".

Always tough at cas even when they have a crap team, I'm not expecting us to win this to be honest.

Wigan have sold their allocation of 1600 tickets for Sunday and have asked Cas for 400 more which we have gave you do it looks like you are coming over in big numbers. Hopefully we will follow suit and have a packed house. Can't wait for this game but I think you will edge it by a score.

Could potentially be a really good game this, would have been a good one for TV.

great news regarding ticket sales!

9000 anyone??????

Looking forward to it. I'm expecting no more then 6 points in it either way.

Our team will be interesting. It's tough to say who's first choice now in a few positions! Will Bowen play? Will Charnley play?

I'd like to see both play and go-

Bowen
Charnley Goulding Sarginson Burgess
Green Smith
Taylor McIlorum Flower
Bateman Farrell Lockers

Subs
Crosby Pettybourne Clubb Hampshire

I'd agree - that's probably your best team. I also can't see a lot in the game, but I think you'll nudge a couple of scores clear at the end. That's my safe bet, though we won't be going in thinking it's impossible to win.

You've a lotta young guys there and if put under some big pressure we might have a reasonable chance.

Either way I think it's one of the tougher games to call this weekend.

I hate to say this guys but I think Bowen is the classic Aussie "best years behind him" import...

I think Rocky at full back for you should've been the choice this season - I don't see how Bowen as a signing is beneficial for anyone except Bowen, and I think Rocky is an exceptional talent (i've watched him as a junior as I'm from normanton).

That being said, Bowen still isn't shabby just yet, and I'm judgng him on his first 2 games to be fair.

can't wait for this game on sunday! got our tickets straight away for it! should be a tough game for us with Cas getting 3 wins to kick off their season and us struggling and losing against the giants and being battered by the roosters.

i'd like to see Bowen get another run out but if he's anything like how he played at the WCC then we will really struggle to get anything decent going.
