4th in the table but the actual end of season positions go off where you come in the play-offs, the prize money is also dished out this way, although the team who wins the hubcap wins a little I think.

If we are to win Friday we have to put away the chances we create. Too many times Sunday we had decent field position and wasted it with crap last play options EG Sione kicking through the sticks on the last (i actually thought it was a drop goal attempt) and Rangi's crappy dummys then passing the ball behind the centre and winger. We competed up front Sunday and i think we are ok in the forwards but our attack has to be clinical (sp). Get a try early doors and complete our sets and we could be in with a chance.



I think we might be better if we play Ryan Mcg and Netherton in the halves.

Going by the last part of the Fev friendly and the last 6/7 mins of the Quins game Netherton has looked decent in the halves. Least he spreads the ball out wide which is more than can be said of Rangi and Sione

What is his name and I will tell you whether that's true or not...

Unfortunately some of the ill feeling does still remain, but more with the younger fans who weren't around, or old enough to appreciate the intense rivalry between the two clubs in the 80s and early 90s. This rivalry always made for some classic entertaining games and I'd welcome the return of that.



It's a shame that a couple of irresponsible invdividuals have dragged the reputation of your club through a ditch and tarnished that great rivalry, but as you say, they're gone and all I (and most Cas fans) want to see now are some more Cas v Wigan classics.

I'm assuming the comment was intended "in the spirit of the thread", though it may be based on [url=http://www.castigers.com/cgi-bin/news.cgi?439_11168THIS[/url.

There was alot of discussion about this last year on a thread, according to wigan themselves we brought 900 not bad for a friday night, myself and alot of people i know struggle to make friday night games.

Exactly, im struggling to get there this friday!!!



Friday night games are stupid unless your on Sky!! Whats wrong with Sunday afternoon!!

They're even stupid for Sky, IMO.

I think all Lancashire-Yorkshire games should be played on Saturday or Sunday, but that's just personal preference.

Is this the place to discuss the game? If so, Cas have named the same 19 as last week; TM is quoted in the League Express as saying a return for Brent Sherwin looks unlikely; and Steve Ganson has been handed the whistle.

What's actually wrong with Sherwin? Is he stuck in the doorway of KFC?

'recovering from his close season knee op'

I think you'll find it was his foot not his knee

To be honest I do agree our home games against Saints, Wire and Salford and maybe even Leeds should be played on a friday night but games against teams like you and wakey who struggle with numbers as it is should be played on sunday.



All teams should play the teams around them on friday nights and the rest on saterdays and sundays.



As someone pointed out about your 900 or so last year, it was the first away game of the season for you, I just thought it would of been better, as I remember you brought around 1,500 once and for the first game at the JJB probably around 2,000.

Ryan Brierley

That was a play off game (when Cas won incidentally) and I believe there were a few more than 2000 attended.



During our sojourn in NL1 in 2007 we regularly took between 1500 & 2000 to away games and outnumbered the home fans.



Fact is fans will go watch a side that's winning and is optimistic of winning whatever level that's at. The result and the manner of it on Sunday will probably reduce the number of Cas fans travelling over to Wigan by a couple of hundred.

It's a long while back now but for the first game at the JJB i seem to recall the Noth stand being about 2/3 full so i'd guess there were about 3,500 cas fans there that night.



I've always been amazed by the Cas support tbh to say the town is so small. Hopefully as many as possible will be able to make it over on Friday as i'd expect it to be a real close game in which Cas have a good chance of winning the way we've started.

Then you should pack the place out on friday

Which players named in the 19 have come through your academy?

Richard Owen, Michael Shenton, Craig Huby, Joe Westerman

Thanks

I predict lots of lame "cheat" chants. About 150 making the trip and the old "M62 on a Friday night" chestnut being rolled out. Yorkshire fans just don't travel

The M62 isn't a good enough excuse.



We took a decent amount to Hull last Friday night.

It's easy when you don't have jobs

Can't wait for tomorrow.



Cas to win by 20, pies fans to sod off home with 20 mins to go and nobby to be collecting his P45 at 10pm
