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

I did realise, hence my post just in case anyone was confused

Cas have plenty of players we have to be wary of besides Rangi Chase. Danny Orr and Mathers were shrewd signings, and IMO 2 players we should have tried to sign in the off season.

Even without O'Meley I still think we have enough grunt in the pack to tire Cas out....I do think it has the potential to be a high scoring game, but I'm just concerned over what sort of atmosphere there will be at the KC, even before a ball has been kicked.

I'm unconvinced by our ability to 'back up' a positive result like many others. If we conceded 30 to Quins I'm afraid I can see us shipping at least that amount against Cas.

24 - 36 to Cas for me.

32-18 to Hull

need to keep Chase quite and tackle Orr hard in the first twenty just to soften him up (or bandage him up) if not score could be reversed I'm affraid.

either or always a good game against Cas.

I dont think it will be the high scoring game that alot of you are expecting on here, our defence has been the main reason for our wins so far this season and that was the same at Bradford in a narrow loss (we just missed Widders and Orr,s direction). I know many of you have had enough of agar but I am sure he will have the players up for this one and I am also sure Westy will be up for a big game against us but if we have Chase, Orr, Widders and mathers fit and ready to go I just fancy us at around 21 - 14, thats the plan anyway

If we can defend with some intensity THROUGHOUT the game we will win this one. The same number of individual errors at the last game cannot be repeated ..............

If I were Cas I would kick the ball dead every 6 and wait for us to cough up possession in our own half. As a very nervous team we are making too many unforced errors. cas have the talent to make us pay for those errors.
However contrary to most on here I have drawn diffferent conclusions to what I have seen than most on here. Wigan good performance, on another day we would have beat wakey easily just as leeds did last week. And last week we saw the good and bad of quins - their attack will cause everyone problems but when we put horne back to stand off and whiting to full back we were a much better balanced team and deservedly won - and yes i saw all matches and my mediciation is fine thanks.
So to sum up - if we can get good field position and control our nerves caused by an edgy crowd and the seriousness of the position - then we have the quality to win by a couple of scores 30-18 Hull

I really hope we win,by any score,but 'The Brother' will still text into Doc on Humberside to complain,even if we win by 20/30!!

You shouldd see the kid at 27

Cas scored one try when it was down to 12-11.
We played much better when it was 13 a side.

32-16 to castleford who will have way too much firepower for us.
