Not sure. Went off with a back injury but nothing has been said so I'm assuming he's alright.

Yes, but hiding

Ha! Restraining orders don't count in the Ponte-Cas-Normanton triangle, right?

Said it's just a niggle - looking to play.

Wigan took more than 1600 - nearer 2k+.

Good stuff. He did have a brilliant fitness record at a Hull. Top player.

Really looking forward to this one. Love going to Cas, proper RL ground with good fans.
Should be a good game too.

I'd advise getting there early this will be a full house. Cas is buzzing after Sundays win and with the beast cleared to play this is box office.

Always look forward to our ex lads coming to town.

Didn't Poore get a ban for the same offence?

With Carney now playing would it be better to swap Talanoa onto the other wing to try to combat his size. Whoever plays on the other wing will have Yeaman to play inside him so he is less exposed.

I really do like the respect Cas are getting from fellow fans this year - really refreshing and nice to hear.

I think this will be a step too far and we ought to target the next two IMO

All the stats are in your favour really, you've had two extra days off and a relatively easier game than us this weekend (no disrespect) ....you also have less injuries to contend with and slightly more squad depth.

I won't be heartbroken if we lose this cause the odds (above) are against us.

But I KNOW all you newbies at Wheldon Road will not miss a year after you've sampled our atmosphere this weekend!

Sunday was even jaw dropping for me with the noise etc.... If it's ramped up to that level you'll have a fantastic day out!!!

Just out of curiosity how many injuries do you have?

Hull are missing
McDonnell
Crookes
Lineham
Green
Thompson (I believe)

Sorry if I'm wrong mate, I was only going on oneof your posters saying "we are very near full strength" on this thread...

We will/may be missing:

Huby (knock)
Lynch (knock)
Boyle
Gilmour
Webster (may not yet be up to required SL fitness - played his first game in 12 months in Championship One last weekend)
Dixon
Tansey

Personally I'd rest Huby and Lynch and get them fit for Salford and London in next two weeks

Yeah I would as well

I still think the odds are in your favour with it being a home tie. Personally I'm just hoping for a good game, good atmosphere and not walking out talking about the ref. ie Warrington.

you'll get your good atmosphere and good game - I think you'll get two points as well by a couple of scores.

We looked buggered after our game and you've had 2 days extra off.

As I say, I wouldn't be shocked or disappointed if we target 2 wins out of the next 3 games (being against Salford and London)

6/7 and a loss to Hull would be more than satisfactory.

But we usually get a good game at our place and big crowds (wigan fans were fairly quiet so you have some work to do )
