I would take 4 out of 8 if it was offered now

We are capable of winning all of them. We have been improving each week and our defence is getting stronger (although we're still not where we need to be IMO). The team togetherness seems good at the moment and if we take that spirit into games, we'll be OK. But, it really is dependent on injuries. It seems we're going into the Wigan game with a few troops down and unless Meli and Clough return (and Graham fails a fitness test) then we could be down 7 or 8 troops. That makes a tough task even harder.

I agree with Father Ted, the Huddersfield game seems the hardest game right now, but we're talking 4 games down the track. We could be depleted, we could be full strength. They could pick up a load of injuries or lose form by then.

It is a tough period coming up though and I'm glad since the Quins game we've taken 10pts out of 10pts as the fixtures were relatively kind for us. It was MUCH needed for the league table and more importantly confidence.

It's a good job I'm back. We need to put a plug in all this optimism before Tinkerbell rides the wave of faith and scores for us.

Wigan by plenty. Depending on the squad (Graham and Perry) it could get a lot better than that, but if they are both out we're in for a kicking. Even with a full strength squad people need to realise how inexperienced the fulcrum of the side is now. Lomax and Wheeler is the expected half back choice and if Jammer and Perry are out we'll have absolutely nothing on the bench. It will be so weak I hear they are taking Wello's kids DS and some crayons along in case they get restless and wander off or get into mischief.

We'll beat Cas, lose to Hull and lose to Huddersfield by 48.

Not sure about a kicking but if all our potential absentees are in fact absent, I can't see past a loss for us.

That was the case in Cardiff but we almost nicked the win. With our experienced players around them our inexperienced ones would be ok. The trouble is, if our injury list is a certainty, we will hardly have any experienced players on the pitch.

It's great to have you back!

Speaking to Cas fans, they often say that teams come with a game plan to stop Chase, this plays nicely into the Cas players hands as it leaves danny orr open to exploit the space.

Cas are not in a false position, I reckon they will win all their home games this year. They have not missed Shenton one bit, the young forwards have been assisted by the offield experience of Fozzard and Emmitt has been a very good addition for them.

They have more speed in the full back position this year.

I would not take the quins game as an indication of anything like a slide down the table, teams are up and down each week. So a draw for Cas indicates no more and no less than 2 losses for wigan. Lets not forget Cas have a game in hand and it's against Wigan, but I can see them winning that.

Cas will be the harder game to win, backing up on a Monday after playing a Wigan derby, were as Cas will probably stroll it against Wakey.

Having said all that, I also think our kids are better than we think and will face up to Wigan. I don't know how many games we will win out of the next 4 games, but win the first one and people will realise we are not in a false position either and confidence for the next 3 maybe enough to carry the day.

On paper you would think that we have the easier game against Wakey however you never know

Other posters are correct concentrate on Rangi and Danny Orr will take advantage. I hope we turn up and give you a good competative game.

Lomax is looking good for you this year and Roby is just getting better and better. Glad to see Shenton is settling in he is a good lad and will always give you everything he has.

By the way thank you for Emmitt he is a good lad and the yards he puts in are brilliant.

Good luck for Friday hope you have a good win - however you will understand i'm not wishing you all the best for monday

Cas will win all their home games? Are you for real? No team in SL will achieve that this season.

Time will tell, all though I'll add the caveat, that I'm talking about all home games in the regular season.

Cup games and playoff games are a different kettle of fish.

Cas's game in hand is away at Wigan. Do you really expect them to win that?
