This Sunday 3.30pm @ Wheldon Road (fix your hose pipe zoo or something these days).

If you offered me a good performance, a relatively respectable score and a few tries now, I'd snap your hand off. They smashed Warrington at the weekend and we capitulated in somewhat embarrassing fashion to Doncaster. Oh and we have 10 injuries. And they're second in SL. Bring it on!

Sheffield by 2 then

0-1 AET

Everybody has injuries. It's a rough game.

Tubbs has just been on Look North.

It was a surprise to me to find that Daryl played in that 1998 Final. Here's me thinking he was on some bonding weekend in Spain.

Charlie would love to you Seagulls beat the Tigers , but whatever my heart says , my head says otherwise , but you never know ,Keith Richard once said "Think what you like it will soet out the Frugal and Spendthrifts to view life in the same way ".

The Bookies Have Cas as 40 Point Favourites which seems quite a lot but they are in form 2nd in Super League table. It is possible they will score 50+ but we are scoring points at the moment 270 in the last 6 (yes i know 2 are Challenge Cup matches !!) but I would fancy us to get to double figures but it should be any easy victory for castleford the best price i can find on sheffield to win is 25/1 no wonder you never see a poor bookie !!! especially as most are offering 1/250 on Castleford so if you stake £250 on castleford you would make a profit of £1 !!!!!

19 man squads:

Castleford Tigers: Tansey, Dixon, Shenton, Webster, Carney, Sneyd, Milner, Huby, Millington, Massey, Clark, Holmes, Mariano, Wheeldon, Ellis, Gibson, Clare, Finn, Reynolds.

Sheffield Eagles: Lauulu-Togagae, Burke, Hanson, Straughier, Turner, Walker, Brambani, Lillycrop, Henderson, Stringer, Aspinall, Garside, Taulapapa, Owen, Green, Davey, Tagaloa, Palmer, Ashton.

You wouldn't expect all three hookers to play, in which case at least two from Ashton, Palmer and Hanson will make the 17. Great opportunity for whichever of those lads play.

Good luck tomorrow, hope you eagle fans have a great day out tomorrow.

Sciatica has struck again - no chance of getting to the match. Good luck Eagles.

Sciatica is he one of your South Seas Island imports ?

Poor first half, like proverbial rabbits in the headlights, but we showed up well second half. Threw it about a bit and played some good rugby. They were just too strong, which we knew they would be. Good support too, decent turnout and very vocal. Hopefully take some momentum in to the league now.

I thought we were unlucky.
