The visit of classy cas : Tue Mar 17, 2009 2:52 pm  

Surprised theres not a thread on this yet so there you go.
I think you'll just edge a thriller FWIW. We need to try and deal with your forwards and thats where I see you winning it. Kirk Dixon can't defend either so I can see you targetting him. Sherwin is the key for us and if he plays we certainly have a chance. Looking forward to a great game.

I'm really looking forward to this game, i always enjoy games against Cas and hopefully there'll be a massive crowd.
I'm hoping we don't self destruct till at least after the derby, the way were looking at the minute though is highly promising.

Not heard anything about Sherwin but I would have thought we might just tape his fingers up after he played on against Huddersfield.
Shenton is not as bad as we thought and is only a bruised leg. Matterson thinks he might be in contention for a place on Friday which is good news as some people were saying he was out for 6 weeks.

Sherwin is a really big threat, we need to give him as little room as possible to work with. Really like the look of Cas' backline, no real big name players in there. But a team who work for each other and will cause us alot of problems.

tbf every side we have played so far has had a good backline. The problem has been, as we saw last year, you can do nothing behind a beaten pack. Thats where the foundation will be laid again and can see us winning by 16-18 points, 28 - 10 to Hull

Out of all the teams we have faced upto now, I see Cas' backline as the biggest threat though, Plenty of speed and love to throw the ball about. Shenton is quality so if he does play, we will have to keep and eye on him.

Kind of agree, although I think that the Crusaders backline ain't too shabby either and are equally keen to keep the ball alive. We dealt with them.

Expecting this to be a difficult encounter but we should come out the winners.

I'm not worried about their back line, front line or any line for that matter. If Hull play as they have been, then it will be good enough to win the game.

I don't think they have done anything special so far but have done the basics very, very well. I still think we're growing into the season and that is a pleasing thought for the future rounds.....

Think this is our toughest test so far, which says more about how well Cas are doing than anyone else being poor.
