I think that your analysis is pessimistic to say the least. I think what you've put is plausible, but manageable. I too wonder how poorly Fox has to play to get dropped.

I agree, looking positively I'd say that Cas have a lightweight pack and if we get our forwards back we should be able to bully them down the and create good go forward and an attacking platform for Tim Smith to work his magic.

Fortunately, they don't have a kicking game, which is an area of the game we struggle to defend.

I thought they looked dreadful yesterday - granted the conditions weren't conducive, but without some significant help from Greg Eden, who played like a double agent, they'd have been well beaten.

As had been said though, form counts for nothing in this game - they'll be targetting this one and will want to give their home fans something to shout about.

Greg Eden, man every time I've watch him play recently he's made 3 or 4 cock up's each game. He's obviously talented in attack but god does he hurt his own side.

Just a thought but why would would our game be more significant than any other, presumably if they lose to us they will be targeting their next game to get their season back on track, that is assuming of course that it was ever on track in the first place.

Cas pack looks weak on that showing, hit em hard down the middle.

Mainly because their following two games are away at Saints and home to Huddersfield. Its fairly easy to see from their point of view which is the easier of their next 3 fixtures.

Because their crowds and their support has been on the wain. If they put a poor performance in against us then morale on the terraces will be rock bottom.

I cannot believe you've actually asked that question!

A thousand reasons - well around 5 thousand in total - bragging rights - nuff said!

Absolute banana skin this one.
Cas will be well up for it and if we don't perform we will get nowt.
Yes, they are there to be beaten but, as TRB has already said, this is just the same as the Salford situation and nobody needs reminding about that game.

Come on Trin !

Millward's last game?

Certainly can't take anything for granted on Friday, cas are not Salford, and have some very good attacking players in their back line.

But I think if our forwards dominate theirs and keep good discipline we should be fine

Can't wait

If we can keep ourselves from giving away stupid penalties then I don't think we should have a huge problem against them. Regardless if Timmy is back I think we can do them. We should give them nothing and I hope our team come buzzing after missing this week against Leeds.

Think Webster is injured for Cas. Hopefully Tim is back with Raleigh.Too early maybe for Kirmond. Need to win this one.

Same here or am I missing something
