Not dismissive. Neither team played particularly well in that game I was talking about, it's not the best game to judge by. They are a big threat and deserve the plaudits they have had. However they aren't infallible, and Hull's best beats them imo.

When asserting "I'm not a Cas fan", it's best to pay at least passing regard to your posting history!

If I was a Cas fan I'd have absolutely no qualms about admitting it... especially this year.

I'm not sure what in my posting history suggests I am a fan of Cas or for that matter why you are looking through my posting history.

A touch creepy, but each to their own, eh?

Not creepy, just easy to do, and easy to spot a troll.

Pretty sure you will win this week with us having a few out. Question is.... Would you rather have a semi final at Cas or Leeds? Would like to know your thoughts.

Dear oh dear

100% Leeds, forget our record there, beat them in the semi and run them very close both away game, in which a bit of luck would have seen us win at least one of them

My mind has changed a few times on that subject in recent weeks. Cas are a better team than Leeds, that is without question, but our recent record at Headingley is nothing short of abysmal. At this stage beggars can't be choosers and we have to just make sure we are in the 4. But I think on balance I'd rather go to Leeds. And that would also keep a Cas v Hull final alive which would be a great occasion and a guaranteed new name on the trophy.

not fussed tbh, just be glad to make it hopefully! we cant seem to win at headingley, pushed them all the way last visit straight after wembley, few decisions went against us, wouldnt mind another crack at them full strength

Hull were awful for 70 minutes and still nearly won. Put an 80 minute performance in and we stroll it

Do you think fan opinion makes any difference to team performance?

Not one iota.
Each game is totally different to the last ones.
Just because cas were beat in the cup and league, Dosent mean it will happen again.
Different day, different conditions, different players.
It's all down who wants it more, and plays the better on the day.

We were awful at your place but you didn't beat us by many. Swings and roundabouts. Salford hammered you at your place. You hammered them at theirs. All depends on the day. Nothing to do with putting in an 80min performance instead of 10

It was 22-4 with 29 minutes to go after Gale kicked a penalty, so you're talking garbage. You wilted and we almost sneaked it, cue in the rack, whatever.

As a club i dont think we are bothered who we play in the semi we just have to ensure we beat Cas get there and not have to rely on other results.
As a fan i would rather play at Leeds.Just dont like that tight pitch at Cas.
