A stadium?

You’re not referring to the crumbing bits of concrete surrounding that sports field in Castleford as a stadium are you?

It’s a bit like a homeless person saying to a man renting a five bed semi that he should feel jealous because ‘at least I own my cardboard box’.

Just hope the Cas fans behave themselves on Friday.

Likewise. We all know we have a minority of idiots. With Hardaker playing at full back he’ll have his back to the WRE and be very close to the crowd. Wouldn’t surprise me if some reprobate went a step too far.
And I’m not discounting the possibility of it being Hardaker himself either. It wouldn’t be a massive surprise to see him ‘do a Cantona’.

If Hardaker scores a try and then proceeds to sniff the line I’ll personally bow down to him

I too also hope my fellow Castleford fans behave. I'm sure Zak will get booed and jeered but it wont affect him. If anything it will spur him on to perform better as Leeds fans found out when he scored for us several times against them. I wont boo or jeer him though. He was awesome for us and I can respect his efforts in a Cas shirt. I will just ignore his return though and cheer on my team.

I dont think we will win though. You seem to be picking up a bit of form and we seem to be on a downward spiral at the minute. Wigan by 16 for me.

Enjoy your trip over to our dump. Its ageing and needs replacing but not many more grounds can create a good atmosphere like 'The Jungle' can on a friday/Saturday night.

Good honest post. I think your prediction of Wigan by 16 is far too kind, the scores have always been close even when we had a great team. I'm not confident.

You just need those four stars above your badge and then you’ll have it all. I’ll go and get a needle and thread. Eh up, wait a minute..

I just think with only one halfback in our team (Trueman) and our main hooker in Mcshane missing, plus our dreadful right side defence you will be favourites. I could be wrong and we may surprise you but it's a Wigan win all day long for me.

they also need a trophy cabinet .......

I won't be booing Zak. The lad was the best player I've seen in a Cas shirt for a long time. Probably had his best ever season as a player in our shirt.

Would do anything for him back.

As for the game, I think you win be +10. We are poor and without McShane and Junior Moors this week it gets even worse for us.

Apologies because I haven’t scrolled back but has the Cas squad been announced?

Yep. No:
Gale, Moors, McShane, McMeekan, Rankin, Clarkson, No right winger and no right centre. Just Gunna play with 11 men and a bench.

Definitely no Flower tonight.

No O'Loughlin either which I expected - as soon as his calf goes its usually 3-4 weeks minimum.

Shaun who? Lam's got you playing some good stuff here.

Told you we have no right edge. We are awful and you should hit 50 here
