TBF, Stranger things have happened. Who'd've thought an 18-19 loss to Carlisle in the 95/96 Regal Trophy could have happened?

Don't think so this weekend though

I remember the Carlisle cup game well, I travelled up to Carlisle and stayed overnight, being so full of optimism and expectation, then after the game feeling so deflated, there was just no way we were going to lose that game with the great team we had.

Then of course, there was the Widnes game when we had been promoted back into Superleague and Widnes were in NL1, have to say that we didn't take that game seriously enough and it really was a banana skin in the making, the only positive thing I could think of at the time was that the main thing was staying in Superleague and that being knocked out at an early stage meant we could concentrate on staying up rather than being distracted with a cup run, how wrong I was.

I think that anything other than a Cas win on Sunday, would be one of the biggest upset in Cup history this time around, all I really hope for is a win, a reasonably entertaining game and most importantly, to come away without any serious injuries.

I hope there's a bumper crowd, a great atmosphere and that the game isn't too one sided, although I do slightly fear for Keighley with the squad we've got this season, the way we took Salford apart without breaking into a sweat.

If you buy the paper there is a great phot of "the dancing master", the BEST player I've ever seen play for Cas and TGG, scoring a try under the posts at Wembley.........if my memory serves me right it was from a pass by Mal Reilly, who had moments before just literally thrown a Salford tackler over his shoulder.
