It'll depend on how much Bradford succeed in slowing the game down, but Cas should be too fast for them. Bradford are far from the force they once were and I fully expect a Cas win.

With added confidence from the win I am thinkin we'll be to strong for cas this weekend.

I agree you will have confidence from your win

However i would say that our confidence will be superior especially after beating a good unbeaten Hull FC side

I just hope we don't get too overconfident, something i felt we had in the Huddersfield game

Bulls by 12/18

Bulls' will have a confidence boost but if we get them behind there own sticks early i think we could run away with it, We are too good in the halves, Big enough in the pack and deadly enough out wide to mean this should be 2 points tigers

But we arent winning the games we should be


Cas 42 - 10 Bradford Although i wouldnt be suprised if its 16-22

We are, but we also have a habit of letting Bradford beat us with strength out wide. we have the speed and skill, but when it comes to defending our wings we're often weak and that's where Bradford will target us again. Someone give Matterson a nudge for me in case he hasn't noticed this already.

I don't think either team will run away with it, it should be a close fought game but I could see Cas clinching it. I hope not though as it's on my birthday

This is probably due to the fact that Dixon and Owen are only "lightweight" whereas the Bradford players have a bit more bulk about them

As a Bulls fan who has seen cas at home twice this season, I think it will be close!

We are poor in the backs, and I can see Shenton, Owen and Evens causing us problems.

The very thing we lack is what you have - creative halves. Sherwin and Chase/FAumina are much better at unlocking defences than Deacon and jeffries.

Up front I think the Bulls shade it, particulalrly off the bench. How Hudson is spelled by TM will have a big impact, and if Sargent and HUby get on top of Burgess and Lynch, then it could be a cricket scrore.

If both team plays to its full potential (which neither have yet, but Cas are closer) then BUlls by 12-18 points. taking form into consideration and a lack of confidence in the bulls camp, Cas by 10!

Your guess is as good as mine!
