Castleford v Hull KR - 6th March 2011 : Tue Mar 01, 2011 9:27 am  

Big game this, but one I'm confident of winning to maintain our 100% record. Whether or not the week off will have been a help or a hindrance remains to be seen.

All match discussion here please!

Think they will struggle without Dobson as was evident last weekend. Saying that, they are a big side and have plenty of other match winners in the team. Will need a similar level of performance to the the Hudds game and we should come through, a tight affair that we will edge:- 25-16.

If we can perform like we did against Huddersfield and with them having Dobson and Webster out I'm more confident about us winning. I originally predicted us to win nearly all of our opening 10 games and this and Huddersfield were the only dodgy ones

4 point defeat at home last year and a 2 point defeat away. I can see it being close again.

I'm intrigued to see Terry's selection as with Snitch, Hudson & Fozzard all available, will he be tempted to change what was an excellent performance from 1-17 against the Giants?

Craig Huby still sits 2 points short of 400 for Cas and Rangi Chase is 5 off 100 while Kirk Dixon needs 10 to reach 550.

I think the forwards battle will be key again, which is probably a good enough reason for making use of Fozzard's availability. Who gets dropped to make way for him though is a tough choice. We'll be needing big games from Huby and Holmes again in order to give Chase and Orr room to work their magic.

I suspect we may see Snitch for Aspinwall and Hudson for Clark. Maybe both starting on the bench so Holmes and Milner retain their starting spots.

Tight match, edge, thriller … etc: oh, and no dubious video ref decision in the final minutes

A close one yes, home advantage to prove vital for you guys.

Dobson was missed but you wouldn't have thought it with some of the tries we scored. It was more our defence and concentration that cost us which Morgan will be very angry about. The biggest thing we missed without Dobson is the direction and kicking game, most of our kicks landed in the arms of a winger or full back so if you pin us in our own half then we'll struggle to get out and more than likely you'll start your sets on your own 40.

Near the line is where Murrell and Green are good at kicking, keep us out of your 20 and we'll struggle to put in an attacking kick all game.

Like I say a close game again but Cas by 9.
