We have to trust the 17 players on the pitch and not use the ref as an excuse if we lose, the ball hasnt been kicked yet. He isnt my prefered choice of ref but the cards have been dealt, its up to to the lads to make a win on the pitch. I am sure they will do the job in hand.

If the cameras are there then he must be on the ball surely?

Disregard the ref , play like we did against Wigan,Leeds and Wires and the points are ours ,no doubt about it , but bring the Hudds or Hull performance to the table , now that could be a problem . Go out all guns blazing and give them the old Shock & Awe treatment and Cas will buckle its guaranteed .Our Home form of late has been great, so I see no reason why that shouldn’t continue against a poor Cas side and should be a comfortable win . Treat them lightly at our peril

I was hoping for anyone but Kendall.

Tbf, no one has mentioned his performance in the challenge cup final. For me, Wakey have to concentrate on what they have to do, and let the rugby take care of itself. Good luck, and I'm really looking forward to the game.

Spot on. I think Kendal is arrogant and inconsistent but he will not be the reason we win or lose.

Exactly this. I fully believe we have a better team than they do so whoever the ref is if play well we'll beat them, it's simple as that. The bookies are rarely wrong and, whilst it must be for the first time for a while, they have us as favourites for this for a reason. They are giving Cas a four point start and we are 8/13 on to win off scratch. It's ours for the taking and i think we will with something to spare.
