Pretty much exactly what we need today. No excuses whatsoever if we lose.

I sense a tough game; I think the CC is the most realistic chance for Cas and Powell to go out on a high and I suspect the hammering last week will galvanise them.

We need another big Widdop display on the back of a dominate pack. We also need to be disciplined and low-error - chasing the game without the ball will be tough in these conditions.

Yeah, we back our ability to out-fitness the opponent and that's fine in a league game but these kinds of games we need a balance of patience and ability to knock the door down.

Well,that was the first ref mistake. Hill did not touch that ball. Cost us the try.

Silly rule anyway, i think if you are wrapping arms around a player you are going for the tackle. Its clear when you just stick an arm out. If you're able to pretend to tackle and purposely knock the ball down then you're a good actor.

Not looking good so far, I never feel very confident when we go down a couple of scores we seem to like a lead and clam up when we go behind.

Well that's clearly held up but try given!

Cheers ref, joke.

There’s absolutely no chance Powell loses to Price here, what better way to announce yourself to your new club by knocking them out of a cup semi? Cas ripping us apart
