My thoughts too, but we can hope! I'm sure every b&w will be watching the game tonight desperately wanting them to win.

I'm surprised they have been so poor given they had a genuine shot at making the playoffs. I can't say I've followed their progress in the last couple of months so not sure what the reason is, apart from running out of gas

Looking at the sides and the motivation for each team then if we lose this then may as well get on the phone to Des !

If only the game was played on paper eh.

If the players aren't pumped up for a tough game whatever side they field, on a small pitch that the Cas lads manage to take every advantage from, then we'll get beat. Some on here are speaking like we've won already, let's hope the players don't go with this attitude, as that's how we managed to get turned over by Leigh & Catalans.

No worries pal. We like Hull

There's always pay of the gate turnstiles at Cas.

Yeh definitely. Princess Street stand will be best to get in with Cash.

I have watched Cas for a long time, and this "small pitch" advantage is a recent invention. Could you explain the advantage we have thanks to our small pitch? You'd think it would be harder for our wingers on our "small pitch", but Solomona managed a few tries last year, and Eden, Minikin, Hitchkox have more than enough this time round.

... the width is about the same as other grounds, but it's 10 meters shorter, so as Gale says, “The thing about a small pitch is that you finish in good ball a lot more than you do on bigger pitches."

Which should suit our go forward and Sneyds kicking game.

.... I think it's more about converting good field position into points.

Teams can often over egg their kicks due to the shorter pitch, Sneyd knows WR well so this shouldn't be a problem...hopefully!

I thought you only cared about the cup? Happy days for you..

Apparently he cares more about the last couple of years [imeltdown[/i our club has been going through.

Call me crazy but I'm going for Salford to win by 10!
