Right cas fans get your heads up and start looking forward to the next game. Should be a straight forward game but who knows (remember Barrow!!!!) So lets get over to Rochdale and get behind the team.

Season ticket holders don't forget to take your voucher and get in for free, apparently Rochdale have agreed that it would have been a waste of time and money to get you to swap your voucher for a ticket.

Correct.

Just a question of the team we'll take.

A mix of youth and seniors for mine.

Eden; Jordan Thompson, Arundel, Blackmore, Owen, McGoldrick, Brierley, Massey, Milner, Snitch, Holmes, Aspinwall, Davies,

Bench: Clark, Clark Thompson, Payne, Harris.

I'd mix them up a bit too but slightly differently, I'd go for:

Mathers (c)
Owen
J. Thompson
Arundel
Blackmore
Brierley
McGoldrick
Massey
Hudson
Snitch
Aspinwall
Jones
Davies

D. Clark
C. Thompson
Harris
Fozzard

Rest as many as we can but have Chase on the bench... just in case.

I can't see Rangi playing, even off the bench, he's got a problem with his shoulder so would be no point risking him, it's going to be a long hard season and we should have enough cover with Goldy being fit once again.

For anyone interested, there are direct trains from Leeds to Rochdale on Sunday. Only £9.20 return!

It looks like a similar distance from the station to the ground as it is in Cas.

Anyone know any decent pubs along the way?

Cas should play their strongest side.Every other SL side will. Take no chances. We have lost to championship sides in the Challenge Cup too many times in the past 6 years. Barrow, Widnes and halifax (at the shay)

Normally I would Scabby but with injuries we have it would seem stupid risking more.

What's more important? Making the play-offs or attempting to make the Challenge Cup Final?

As ever I'll be going to the game.

On our last outing at the Spotland it was a great atmosphere, quite a few characters in fancy dress. Let's do it again, with a good showing of Cas fans there and make it a great atmosphere for all.

Any player with any kind of nigggle should be rested.
We dont want to be playing anyone injured.
We have plenty of back up for this game.

COME ON CAS.

Hope we get a decent following on sunday, however can i just mention that Rochdale will not make much money from this game and apparently money from the bar and food outlets actually goes towards the profits of the football team, therefore please buy a golden gamble and/or a programme as this money goes to the rugby club. We boast about being a rugby league family so lets make sure that they get something out of sunday

I hope we play our strongest team possible, challenge cup is our only realistic chance of a major final and we have come into this round the last few years in poor form and lots of injuries and even playing our strongest team possible still lost against lower division sides.
Can't believe people still saying lets put out a weaker side when we are already weak at the moment.
