Morning all

Any rumours as to how you might line up against us on Sunday? Anyone being rested?

Good luck next week against Leeds.

What, there is a game this week?
With all the hysteria surrounding franchises and semis, it is odd to be back focusing on a game. I'm not 100% sure on the situation with the squad, but I have a feeling anyone not at 100% will be rested with next week in mind. I would hope that Terry Matterson uses this as a chance to give an players who need a bit of a fitness test to gauge their match fitness a run out, with Fozzard, Aspinwall, Isa, Ollie Homes and the like having sat out the last couple of games. Either way, I can't see past a convincing Saints victory, regardless of any players you may rest with the Cup in mind.

Many thanks, it would be nice if this wasn't the only meeting between Cas and Saints over the next couple of weeks!

To be fair the odds on a Cas Saints final are looking better than they where a month or 2 ago.

Sunday - First scores in each half critical, we have a bad record against Saints overall.

If we score first in both halves, we might be OK - Saints by 18 or us by 6.

You didn't do too badly against us at the Stobart if I remember! We only nicked it in the last minute.

We do have 9 players on the sidelines, plus the fact that Isa and Aspinwall, who both havent played for a while, have been named in the 19, but not sure if they will feature.

Is Aspinwall playing with a tag?

corrected for accuracy

im a great believer that if you have an injustice against you oneday will get that bit of luck back,now our last two visits to saints has seen us go down narrowly and the better team lost on both occasions the latter with some very strange decisions from the ref.i hope we get a bit of that luck back soon if not tommorow then maybe at wembley.

NAh don' believe all that hoodoo.

There is no payback system otherwise Wigan would have been relegated a few years back as payback for their dominace in the 80's and early 90's.

With the numbers you have out tomorrow it maybe a struggle, although our pack is a little lighter in weight than we'd like. So you may get some joy up the middle tomorrow. Although Roby is a tackling machine.
