Can't argue with that.

Your home record should make you favourites, we have yet to win outside the city. Add to that our recent record down Weldon Rd (lost last 4), and I'm not expecting the points. We need our pack to stand up and give the halves some room to play. If that happens, we could steal it.

I'm wondering if McCarthy or Burke may start on the bench - their full fitness being the concern. Horne played very well last week, so as tempting as it is to throw them back in ... it's also something we don't have to do also ...
BC or JB - I'd go with Cockayne tbh like we did vs FC. Purely for versatility options vs 10mins of Boudebza. Lunt is the key though. But it's one of them 50/50 calls, could go either way.

We've had a lot of injuries and suspension to cover, but I've been impressed with the lads who have come in each time. Everyone has put their hand up*. Credit to them. Also, I think CC has been canny with rotating when he can.

I know it's done with now, but I can't help but think there was a place for Cox on our bench this weekend.

I think your kicking game is far superior to ours ATM.
Chester will have noticed how easy it was to charge-down our lame kicks against Warrington who IMO were very unlucky not to score a couple of tries off them.

I'd go with

1 Dixon
2 Sio
3 Goulding
4 Welham
5 Mantellato
6 Campo
7 Kelly
8 Walker
9 Lunt
10 Allgood
11 Larroyer
12 Horne
13 Mccarthy

14 Green
15 Burke
16 Ollett
17 Boudebza

I like Charlie but he doesnt deserve to oust Dixon or Sio if hes back fit. Nor do I want him spelling Lunt, I think little John is slowly getting better each game and is a better hooker than Ben.

Really cant get my head around the Cox loan, both him and Ollett have had injury problems and are just coming back, surely Cox should be ahead of Ollett in the pecking order.

I think you'll win this one quite comfortably. On their short pitch your pace out wide will cause them problems IMO and they're not a patch on cas of 2014. Even we nearly won there

You've "nearly" won everywhere, could be 2nd in the league with a bit more luck.

Luck has nothing to do with it, we're hopeless in atatck.

I've changed my mind on tonight's result

We've defended our line pretty well, but that's where the whole game has been played so far. Cas forwards dominating.

Interesting kick from Dixon.

We look pretty lacklustre, but credit to Cas.

Appalling first half.

One or two changes for Bradford to freshen things up, might be in order.

We've had a good run, but look low on energy tonight. Tilse's arrival will be welcome.

All that said, if we can score next...
