Either our heads will go down and we will lose this closely or we will absoloutely take Cas to the cleaners.

Next week I'm hoping for some decent weather to give us dry conditions thus allowing us to use our speed effectively, a positive response to yesterdays disappointment, an improvement of our discipline to cut out needless penalties and plenty of noise from the stands.

Oh, and plenty of tries!

Just a bit over the top there. 20 points max in dry weather.

=#8000FFWainwright is small and always out of position, so either winger will have a field day there, McGoldrick can't catch/tackle/get in position so most kicks are effective, as are clean breaks, defence is weak straight up the middle...Cas are a terrible side this season no 2 ways about it.

As prevoius posters have said, I was gutted and wet through yesterday, hence 1st time on here since the match, the little things just went against us, thought the ref was poor allround, 23 penalties in those conditions, watched state of origin last week, ref let the game flow, was it 7 penaties, you can pick an infringement at every play the ball if you want to, got to use common sense, thought we missed 2 chances to put the game to bed , once down the left when the pass just went behind Carmont I think, then Sam's attempted cut out pass, then Amos just made the wrong decision thought the ball would have gone out, it felt like Leeds had got of jail, but 24hrs later as the thread says, it's gone, 4 points in front, finish top then get to OT and win the big one !! Keep going heads up.

I think it will be 36-14 to Wigan next Sunday.

Crowd, 15978

Man of the Match, Sam

I fear somewhere between your predictions.

I'll probably be there, but I genuinely can't see us having anything close to a chance.

This is one of those very rare games this season when the outcome is nailed-on.

This is Rugby League. I once went to a "Nailed on" Challenge Cup Final back in 1998, so much so that the bookies stopped taking bets, guess what happened?

We need to take a page out of Leeds book from last year when they got knocked out. Concentrate on the main prize!

Shame we hadn't won at Leeds merely for the crowd this week. It will be a little down probably.

We need to really put in a real good performance in and score plenty and keep up the good defence ,for us to get the cup out of players and fans heads and to show the rest of super league we are the real deal this year.
