I think a right edge of naughton and logan could struggle against webster and solomona. michaels to keep his place for me

Fair point, although Micheals did struggle against Richards (Although most wingers would struggle to stop him at that range).

I worry about Solomona's pace against Micheals though, he is lightning could get around Micheals.

Hope we give Lynch a good reception tomorrow - I loved seeing him at Hull. We really should pepper the hell out of Crooks though and watch his head go down. Wouldn't mind seeing Holmes in an FC shirt too. He gets better every year.
Could be a great game but I'm pleased Carney isn't there now. Shenton will be a massive loss.
I predict Carlos to get 2 or 3.

I think if we can keep the game close for the first 20-25 mins then our interchanges will again be a massive boost.

Cas really will be a tough test but one that as long as we sharpen up defensively and play for the 80mins we should get the win.

I predict crooks to get 2 or 3

I actually believe we will win comfortably. This Cas side isn't as good as the last few seasons imo (they drew with KR!!).

That first 13 for Cas looks fairly decent and comparable to ours, but our bench and home advantage should see us through (hopefully).
Bookies have us -8.

Oddschecker have us 5th favourites to win the grand final at 10/1. I'm sure they had us down to finish 8th at the start of the season.

I think we will win by 18. Their fans, but like us, talking up their team but I think we are a different animal this year and crooks, Solomona, dorn have defensive deficiencies

Christ, a few good wins and you guys are getting a bit big for your boots.

The Cas team this year is pretty much the same as last year and we were 50/50 in our matches, so let's just wait and see. Otherwise it might be a lot of eggs on faces.

A few Hull fans are more confident than I am, toughest game so far this year IMO, really wish we didn't have the week off. We should be favourites, but I don't think it will be as easy as some are expecting.

Hmm yet on your other forum, not on rlfans, the vast majority of your fans think you will win, one even claims we haven't come up against a team with a better defence, no offence but your opening two fixtures against 2 teams tipped to struggle is hardly a case to use, could also be said the oppositions attack was so poor too


Home advantage should just swing it in fcs favour but I expect it to be close

It's the bench that will be the key all season if we can keep fit, Washy is a good player but every team in SL would love to have Ellis and Frank sat on their bench

Nothing to do with getting to big for our boots. I think we'll win by a couple of scores or more, it's an opinion that's all.

Exactly, its an opinion.

The same on the Cas forum who are saying that their 'Mobile' and 'Fit' forwards will outweigh our strong pack, and then their ball movement will get around us.

I think we will win by 18, it isn't an arrogant or over-confident prediction, I just think that the KC will be a fortress this year and our bench will be stronger and see us to the victory.

The same way, I think that Wigan will beat us next week
