Yeah just read the forum, they have some fans changing holidays so they do not miss the GF. We might as well stop the season now no-one else has a chance.

That did make me laugh, do they not learn from History, we were top of the league going into the 8's, and look where we ended up! (Having said that, we did win a CC Semi and Final, which Cas don't need to even worry about!)

Can't see beyond a cas win for this one at their place and with their massive desire to prove they can actually beat us. They're good at their place but vulnerable away from home. Their 80 metre pitch is a massive advantage for them as they spend a lot of time in your 20 metre area and are well drilled so difficult to defend against. I'm not too worried if we lose and the away game at leeds is more important to us IMO

I think we can turn them over again, if we keep it simple and starve them of possession cut the pens out then we have a great chance. With the weather being as it is let's hope they carry on the Harlem Globetrotters style the ball will be like a bar of soap.

Also we went into the Super 8s just a point clear of Warrington (with an inferior points difference) and two clear of third placed Wigan.

As it stands Cas could be in effect ten points clear of third place after this weekend. Unless they have a dramatic collapse they'll have a home play off game. They've not lost at home for a year and are averaging 40 points a game at the Jungle. I don't blame their supporters for being confident.

Well I've said all season I'd fancy us and Wigan against cas in a cup game / play off . I just think us and Wigan have the defence to keep cas out in important games and there not use to them kind of games , as our cup game showed . If Wigan sneak 4th , I'd fancy them to go through .

Glad you're not measuring me for a carpet mate. It complied with the old ruling of 100 yards but fell short when they changed it to 100 metres. Either way you've got your excuse in early.

I know there are a few different Cas forums and I don't go on them all but I haven't seen that on any of them. always respected you as a poster Dave so I'll take your word for it but you have a few on here as you well know

Bigger ask than the cup game? Just think they'll be more up for it and out for revenge. Best be a decent game though, gutted not to be going.

A selection of confident comments:

I have a feeling were going to smash them

They remind me of the big Bradford sides of the noughties, great at the crash,bang wallop plan A type rugby but when some sides figure them out they drop to bits.

All I can see is a CAS win,

Think we'll nail them big time on Friday. 42-16

They've got it to have Friday.cant see past us.lads will be pumped.prediction 42-10

This team looks so good with Moors, Cook, Oli Holmes, Larroyer, Hitchcox, Monaghan, Tom Holmes still not in.

All justified given your league position and according to the press have reinvented RL this year.

It was on the independent Cas forum under the Hull away cup draw thread, I have a screenshot I'll put on here if I can work out how to do it.

They've had their first decent half season in living memory - leave them to it

The best (and, realistically, only) place to do our talking is on the field tomorrow night, like you I can see a Cas win, they need it more than we do, Saints next will be tough as well, Leeds and Huddersfield won't be easy either. We can't afford to go 0 from 4 before the cup game!
