Castleford v Wakefield : Fri Apr 15, 2011 10:55 pm  

A point is a point even if it was a point lost in the end, time to get back to winning ways by stuffing the future Championship team down the road in front of what should be a packed stadium.

Vowles is back for the game, the team are playing some wonderful rugby and from what I saw tonight Wakefield don't know how to deal with players with pace or runs from dummy half, so big games from Chase & Clark expected.

Irrespective of the names on the Wakey team sheet, this will be a very tough game. If we don't match their enthusiasm, we will get beat.

The euphoria around our start needs tapering imo, yes lets all enjoy it, but if we disrespect any team in the league, we will get beat. The players need reigning in, we need to get down to the basics and show that enthusiasm that we had in defence in the earlier games. Complete the sets of six, no fancy dan kicking early in the tackle count and grind out the wins. As Matterson said last night, let that be a lesson to learn - for all of us.

It's quite easy and underestimate Wakefield based on that performance last night.

They were playing against a St Helens side at the top of their game and far better than us (realistically).

Wakefield know how we play and will have a game plan - stop Chase, stop Orr and the game's for the taking. We all know how Wakefield play when the chips are down and for me, this could turn out to be a game like last night.

Cas 28-14 Wakefield.
Att: 10,100
MOM: Emmitt

Wakefield this season so far: played 10, won 3:

Beat: Quins (H), Catalan (A), Hull (A)
Lost: Cas (MM), Salford (H), Leeds (H), Warrington (H), Bradford (A), Huddersfield (A), Saints (A)



In the past we've been notoriously bad at beating teams well below us in the table.... and I still think about the Fax game many years ago when we were top after about 13 rounds, they were bottom, we went to Thrum Hall, got hammered and the wheel came off the season BIG TIME after that.

Good Friday will be a tester, similar to another Fax game of 1999 that we played just after we got dumped out of the Cup semi by London. If we play as we can play, we ought to win it. If we faff about, they'll take us to the cleaners - no question of that - Kear will have them pumped for this one.

Cas to win: 26-22
Att: 11, 500
MOM: Danny Orr
First Try: Joe Arundel

Could that be because in the past there has not been many team below you in the league

Castleford has been a successful RL side and during the late 1980s and 1990s was one of the most successful sides in the country. Indeed, prior to 2004 we had never been relegated from the top flight of British Rugby league. That's what I mean by in the past: historically, previously, in older times, or perhaps, here's one that might be more appropriate to your good self: once upon a time.

Try doing some research before inadequate attempts at trolling in future.

I take it from your post you did not go down to the Quins last night, even though it was free admission, I'd like to hear your excuse,but on second thoughts we have probably heard it before

Re: Castleford v Wakefield : Sat Apr 16, 2011 11:52 am  

I predict a close game and we might just edge a thriller.......




Just for you Towns!
