| Quote: cas all the way "We ripped Hull KR to bits yesterday with no Carney. However, Wigan will be a much tougher game. One of which I expect us to lose in a close match.
Real excited for it now though. Heard you may have some of your injured first teamers back. Is this a good thing for you as your youthful team have played amazing of late.
Wigan to win by 8 I say. Beginning of second half take a lead before battling tough to hold on for win. Hope not though!!'"
Cas have been a joy to watch this season and played some breathtaking rugby. I was guilty of thinking they would perhaps fall away after the good start but they've been brilliant and are looking the real deal.
We will have to be at our best to beat you. |

Wigan by 30 to 40 points im not worried about a team that can only play well on a small pitch. You mark my words 55 to 60 minutes in if were not already blowing them away we will put another 20 to 30 points on the board between then and 80 minutes. Our team is much stronger and much fitter than Cas. Don't get me wrong they have been the surprise package this year and had this been on their own ground it would be much closer but Daryl Clark can't win this on his own! PREDICTION: Wigan 46-12 Castleford

Yeah because we really struggled on the Etihad pitch...at at Hudds (where you lost by a larger margin)
I think both will be close games, ive got a feeling we will win one of them, not sure which.
FWIW, I hope your players have the same attitude as you as they will get a rude awakening if they do.

McIlorum, Sarginson, Farrell and Flower likely to be back according to WEP. Game too soon for Charnley and Pettybourne couple of weeks due to a set back. I would go:
Bowen
Manfredi
Gelling
Sarginson
Burgess
Powell
Smith
Taylor
McIlorum
Crosby
Farrell
Bateman
O'Loughlin
Flower
Dudson
Hughes
Williams

I think it's safe to say that this man's views do not represent the majority, certainly not mine. Two score margin between the two teams at most, either way.

 I can see this one coming back to bite you if we lose!
I'll go 20-12 to us, it could definitely go either way though Cas are in great form and will likely target the cup as a trophy they could realistically have a chance of winning if they make it past us

Wigan will raise their game back up a level or two this week and they'll need to if we're to stand a chance of beating Cas. They're on fire at the minute and whilst I believe we have a bit more to give and Cas are playing at their peak, we will get burned if we don't turn up with an attitude like we had at the magic weekend from minute one. It's the type of fixture where you must make a steady start. If you go a couple of scores down early it'll be tough to claw it back especially if you panic.
I think we have enough to win but if we do it won't be by more then a score or two. A lot will rest on what players are 'fully' fit for us as well. I don't have an issue with lads like Flower and Faz coming back but I just hope somebody like Micky Mac is fully fit and isn't being rushed.

Expecting a difficult game but we are playing some quality stuff at the moment and should fear no one. Looking forward to it.
32-24 Cas win.

PREDICTIONAre you on drugs we are the fittest team in the league you also say we only play well on small pitches we scored more long range trys than any other team. if it is a fast pictch with sun on our backs Cas will beat you 30-10 on slower pitch it will be closer but still a Cas win.

Can the mods not do something about these obvious trolls?
