Referee appointed for the match with us and Cas is Chris Kendal.



Can't say he impressed me with the way he called the game against Wakey but at least its not Hicks or Child.

He was garbage against Wakey, completely cluless, hope he doesn't ruin what should be a great game.

He let it flow too much and it boiled over after Michaels was tackled round the face for the fourth time. That won't slide on TV.

The problem is that too many refs have left for various reasons so they're having to stick with the carp ones and promote more and more inexperienced ones. I think I read the other day that they've appointed some teenager to the full time refs panel now. It really needs sorting and that needs to start with more respect for them from players and coaches but a proper system to be put in place to raise concerns behind closed doors

Thought Kendall was fine, the fact neither fans have mentioned him after the game says it all.



Think we can go into the game without much pressure, they will be massive favourites still and will be really up for this one, think they will win, but you can't either write us off.

I hope you can say that after the Shudds game.

Rain forecast Friday night



Good or bad thing? Think it could make the game swing our way

i think this is the game where Cas will get their revenge - until we meet again, who knows where

Think it helps cas to be honest, can see us going into our shell to much if wet, and cas will still through the ball about as they did against leeds thursday, leeds couldnt catch a ball and cas still looked slick

Think if either team get out into a lead the wet weather will then help. For me defensively we have to do what we've done previously and as soon as they PTB the defensive line has move up and meet them closing down the space and time for them. This is where Leeds seemed to fail and not apply to pressure Cas defensively particularly on the edges.



Key to any win again will be to keep them insight score wise. Then again reading the Cas forum we may as well not turn up as we are going to get hammered this time.



Its another intriguing match up and looking forward to it.

Good for us, IMO. May suppress Cas throwing the ball about like a hot potato and make it more of a forward battle. Our forwards have appeared to have the measure of theirs in the two games played so far.

Strong squad only Ellis and Green (What is wrong with him?) out.



Think the starting 13 picks itself,



Bench of



Taylor

Thomspon

Griffin

Turgut or Fash



The last bench spot is the toughest choice.
