I'm heading the other way - up to Aberdeen, 380 miles - but I've delayed the departure to get to the match. The players have said how important the crowd is and the Cas fans know that and will be out in force. We have to match them - not just on the field but on the terraces. It's our home game and all the players need to feel that from the crowd.

Enjoyed chatting to some Wakey fans on Sunday. Knowledgable RL fans.

Good luck this week, you’re due a win against Cas and seem to be moving in the right direction.

Hopefully TJ and fifita back to add a bit of spark.

If we’re within a 100 miles of this game Purim’s army couldn’t stop me from going… I regularly commuted from both Derby and Malton to home games when I lived in the UK.

The only thing (xcept from family) I miss about the UK is Trinity games and Belle Vue

Bit tragic.

Your choice.

Bit harsh Vasty.
To be fair to him, the pain of those defeats is bloody painful and I don't blame him in some ways.
I have literally left BV feeling sick, the game where we were 16-0 (I think?) up at HT only to lost to a Luke Gale drop goal springs to mind.
They are tough losses to take, especially so many.
I get that when we do finally beat them it will be amazing though.

Imho winning this game will be a lot easier if we do two things. One we take it seriously but not to seriously. Two, we wise up to McShane and his box of tricks.

Like everyone else I’m nervous and not willing to predict but I will be there shouting in support,

I had three aims this season.

Avoid relegation.

Beat Cas

Play well for once in the CCup.

We’ve managed one even if we dropped out in the end so we are still on track hopefully.

On the flip side, surely you want to be there when we finally break the Cas hoodoo ?

Not really, it is tragic that he feels that down, I didn't say he was tragic. Come on Wildy you normally spot those. It's his choice.

I think it's an odd one because overall it's not been a bad season and we are now a bit more in line with Cas than we have been for a few seasons. I'd say we are back to tight game level, hopefully.

Expect a Wakey win tonight. From what I have seen you guys are playing well this year. We are truly bad. Our defence is all over, McShane is nowhere to be seen for 90% of games and our halves struggle to break the line.

As many of wakey fans have said before over the last few years, when the chips are down, McShane is nowhere to be seen, he has a heart the size of a pea and loses interest quickly.

Don`t get me wrong, he`s been brilliant in a good cas side over the last few years, but he`s not a player you want in your side when your backs are against the walls.

Still has a grudge against us though, wouldn't write him off.

That might have been the case at Bellevue, but I've never seen any evidence of that since he's been at Cas.
