4000+ Cas fans there tonight - absolutely fantastic, whatever the result.

Up to date we have sold 4300 for the north stand. It will be a wall of noise at 7.45pm.

Great effort, I will be there with the other half as she is a Cas fan (For all her sins) and I have to endure throughout

I have said for a long while that I think Cas will go on to win the Grand final this year and I am not about to change my mind now.

If the referee has a good control over the ruck area and the game as a whole then its a Cas win for me.

Top stuff!

Our away following last night clearly made a difference as we completely outnoised the whole home support and you could see it physically lifted our team.

Can’t choose a winner, I think Cas have got a cracking side but Wigan are the best team in the country on their own patch.

Could go either way!

Wouldn’t rule Cas out but hard to look past a Wigan win with their playoff experience and home advantage. People say it’s a different Cas this year and they’ve learnt from last year but they really had a match of this significance to really test that theory. They may well have learnt from last year but we really don’t know that until tonight and as such you have to favour Wigan.

Looking forward to it, I can sit back, relax with a can of Kestrel and a bag of Oinks. I can smell a classic

So only way Wigan will win is by spoiling the Ruck and or the referee favours Wigan?
That's good to know - Get the excuses in early!

(PS - I said Cas were going about there business quietly and were dark horses for GF around June time so I know how good of a team they are)

I just think we'll have a touch too much for them tonight although a lot will depend how fit Flower/Lockers actually are (if they're both 85% plus and we can get 40+ mins out of each of them) I fancy us.
