Need to stop eden after his 5 tries today making 5 hat tricks in the last six games. I'm pretty sure I'd score 30 tries a year on the wing at cas

Oh no. Not Mrs B's mind games again. Cas dont stand a chance now.

Are Cas favourites?

Ladbrokes have them odds on at 1/2.

Yes.

Lordy.

.... not quite as good as Leeds @ 1/50.

Will all these still be out on Sunday??

Our backs should be at full strength unless injury in training this week. Pack is a little light with recent injuries to Moors, Cook, Springer, Maher and long terms Patrick and Oggy Holmes.

Sneyd will definitely be out. Houghton was illness so should play. I dont honestly know about any of the others, but I would imagine at least a couple will be back.

Don't worry. Its just those mind games again. 1/2 means the bookies think that if the fixture was played 3 times Hull would win once and Cas twice. Hardly runaway favourites.

Well, as fans we'd like to think we have some sort of chance. But the independent bookies and media clearly see it otherwise, which it is their job to, I guess. Oh well..

"Mind games"? Let's see how many independent pundits and bookmakers tip us this week.

1/2 is far from conclusive . I reckon we win be roughly 4-6 point favourites, which I think is fair. It's an acknowledgement of what could be a close game that may go either way. Hull will be 6/4 I would guess.

More will fancy Cas than us. But 1/2 is fairly insignificant in RL betting. According to Flashscores Salford were 2/5 against us. Wigan were 1/2 against Leigh and 4/11 against Wakefield the other week. None of those were easy to call and were all very comfortable wins against the odds.
