| Powell won't be resting anyone. We could still finish top or 6th which makes a world of difference come play off time.
Today we were ok nothing flash but got the job done despite a busy week on and off the field.hope you lot turn out in good numbers next week.
I think both teams can be very pleased with their seasons after all this game was supposed to be a relegation decider.!!

Can you imagine Dennis Betts' face if this happened and we won?

| For me, Saints could be the worst team to top the table if they do it. Normally there is a team that stands head and shoulders above the rest. Saints seem to have clawed their way through the season. If they finish top, fair play, but I can't think of a less impressive team to do it.
If Cas do it, I'd be pleased. Local rivalries aside, it's fairytale stuff. They could well be flying out to Catalan knowing all they need to do is win. Undoubtedly they are the team of the year, and hats off to Daryl Powell. From the Championship to coach of the year.

Absolutely spot on, but I just can't get giddy about Cas doing well, the other way round and we'd be covered in bile and spit, they have no love for us, sorry no fairy tail here, as of yet they've won the same as us, funk all! Yeah very juvenile I know, but that's how I feel at the moment.

You Normy boys!
I suppose if Saints lose on Thursday, we can turn up en masse to enjoy the burst of the bubble!

Saints have two very losable games (Warrington and Huddersfield). Cas have us and Catalan away. Points difference is about the same, and if Cas win both and Saints lose theirs, they'll make it up.
Hell of an achievement if they do it. And it's doable.
My own view is that Cas are the only team these to have been consistently good. Saints haven't been good at all, for a team at the top.'"
Cas wont finish top and the top 4 is no certainty.
It would be great to spoil their party IF we could get a result there next week.
Come on Trin !

No love for Cas from here either, I've seen and heard too many bitter insults over the years to change my ways. Saints to win the league and Cas to get knocked out in the early stages of the playoffs for me I'm afraid.

Ditto.
To wish Cas any form of success is madness. I accept they have done well but that's all they get from me.

This. I could just imagine the general feeling from over the Common if the roles were reversed.
The only thing it does is gives us hope, that with a good Coach (which we seem to have) and a few good players you can spoil the usual party at the top end of SL.
Saying all that, they've played some great rugby this season and will deserve whatever they get.

| It's hard to resent Cas - they deserve the success they've had this season and they've been one of the most attractive teams in SL to watch. They'll have a job on maintaining it next season with key players on the way out, but Powell has been a revelation - if anyone can, he can.

Agree with everything you say there Bren but i think this year more than ever its been proved how much difference a good coach makes. Powell at Cas, Webbo at Trin and Jimmy Lowes at Dulls have all made great improvements. The last two with basically the same players as the previous coaches

| Cas have enjoyed a fantastic seaon - we would kill for it and I congratulate them on it.
For me, the love-in relationship - highlighted this Sunday with most of the power base of WMDC at the ground - with the council is just too much - until they stump up over either NM or BV.
I want us to win on Sunday a) because it could possibly keep the top 8 alive going into the last weekend and b) because we love to hate them - its what locally rivalry is about and I want that memory to take us through the off season!
