Didn't realise crusaders were down to 10 men at one stage on Sunday

I'm going for an "ugly" home win.

12-10 FC.

fc by 10 points

You didn't realise because they weren't. They went down to 11 but everyone seems to forget that we went down to 12 at the same time.

Then their full back had a total brainfart pretty much as both sides returned to 13 a side.

Richard Agar has already paved the way if we get beat with his response in the daily wail -

"Our preparation time for this game hasn't been too long, but sometimes that is not a bad thing," .

So you had at least 1 man advantage for 20 minutes or so

Hull FC 24 Castleford 18

I'm clinging to the thought that after the passion shown by the players in front of the fans at Quins in the last quarter that a small corner may have been turned.....

26 v 16 home victory

TBF they didn't have an exhausting coach/train/whatever ride home from London. And we know how badly that kind of thing can affect a team.

Whilst they need to be treated with respect I don't think Cas are anything to fear. Yes they are 5 from 6 but they have had far and away the easiest start to the season. They got the job done against Wakey without doing anything too special, beating Hudds was a very good result albeit against a team who just didn't perform on the night. They got lucky against Catalans, labored to a win against a rudderless Hull KR and have lost their only away game. Fair enough they whipped Crusaders last week but who hasn't?

Of course if we play like we have been they will win, but if we play to anything like our potential we should win by a couple of scores. Don't get me wrong Cas look decent and I expect them to make the 8 but they are certainly not the force that their league position suggests.

Yeah, exhausting sitting around on your ass for 4 hours on a bus.

Sorry - I couldn't find a sarcasm smiley for my last post.

14 - 8 to FC

High scoring game that could go either way IMO. Home advantage might just see us through 32-28
