Challenge Cup Quarter Final : Mon Jul 18, 2011 11:10 am  

A month ago i wouldn't have given us a chance but, with Huddersfield not in the best of form and likely to be without a few key players and us having back-to-back wins, I think things have fallen in to place nicely to make this a winnable game from a Cas perspective.

It is definitely winnable, but they have to be 12 point favourites.

I am not sure what we are going to get to be honest, I think the first half is massive for us, we have to be well in it, probably ahead at half time to give us a chance..... Lets hope that Huddersfield's wobble extends for another week!
I guess we will know more when the 19's are announced.

Feel nervous just thinking about it!

After Sunday's farce, I think Cas are in the hat for the next round already. 6 weeks ago I thought this was a good draw for us....bricking it now tbh!

What happened fartownfan, did you go? We all know anyone can beat anyone in this league but the scoreline, and a nilling was a big shock. Looked like you had a decent side out too.

Unfortunately I don't think you will have a problem getting through if we play like we did against Crusaders, we just threw away too many chances and with a team like Huddersfield they will take advantage a lot more than Crusaders did

Yes mate, I went. It was honestly the worst performance I've seen in many a year. All Northern's tries were easily stoppable with some half-competent tackling. But our defence was non-existant. Completion rate must've been below 30-35% tops. Couldn't catch a pass to save our lives. The Bulls fans are saying they were brilliant, but all they were was OK. We made them look like World Club Champions. We were totally incompetent from kick off to hooter.

I would honestly be amazed if Cas don't knock us out come Sunday.

But you saw our performance against Crusaders surely. We were shocking too, but we did get the points. Let's face it, both teams need to play 100% better to win this cup game. Let's hope it's a good game and a CC classic.

1 To 17 need to play their rings out against Huddersfields pack and get on top of Brough early doors and if we do that then a well rested Rangi Chase could run riot but this of course all depends on which Cas shows up on the day but it can be done!
COME ON CAS!!
