Can't see how we win this. Gonna be very tough and Huddersfield looked a million times better than in any other game this season.

If Huddersfield are anything like last week they will win. If they're anything like they've been the rest of the year it'll be close.

Our game depends how chase performs for me. He's still got the ability to win games on his own. Not massively optimistic having lost 3 lads to England duty, but for the same token, as a cas fan I'm glad they're in the frame

We are missing arguably the best half back partnership so far this year in Superleague. Both Roberts and Gale out. Rangi needs to step up big time but does he still have what he needs to lead a team to a win. Not sure.

Missing the best Full back in superleague this year.

Missing 1 of the best forwards in Superleague this year in Mike McMeekan.

Can see this being our biggest loss of the year. ( biggest loss so far is 4) Can see Hudds by 8-12 points.

Realistically I don't expect us to win this game but there is nothing wrong with hoping, I am more bothered about us putting on a repeat of the Leeds game performance, If we can put that effort in again we will give them a good game and it will set us up for Newcastle.
We are going to have easier games than this, but we have to back up last weeks effort , We usually play better against the better sides , so looking forward to a good game.

few excuses going in early here

cas fans will be lumping on a giants win then thursday by the sounds of it

7/2 for a giants win and we're at home thats tells you who the big underdogs are here

for me i dont have a clue which attitude the giants players will turn up in for this game, seems to take alot for them to get it right these days

That's was me taking the mickey.

Given Castlefords absentees we should be looking for 2 points here. They only have 1 recognised half back aswell.

Another good win and then a break before the Catalans game - who knows we may have some new recruits by then???

Erm- we too only have one recognised half back!!!

I'm well aware of that jools and that my point they don't have the advantage in the halves so it makes it more of an even game and we should be looking for 2 points.

Ive taken Huddersfield on Handicap already at +14. We have lost 3 away games already so our away form isnt great on top of our players missing.

Certainly no excuses from me, must admit I'm surprised at the doom and Gloom from my fellow cas fans. I expect this to be close but we have enough to win if the players aren't looking for reasons to fail. I know we have a few out but we still have enough super league quality (and above) players to play out part in a close game. mcshane has the skills of a half and rangi chase can win any game when he's in the mood alongside players like shenton, lynch, jsl, moors and millington. It's also a chance for some of our squad players to stake a claim. Haven't you only got one fit half also ??? I'll stick my neck out and go 24-20 to cas.

I'm hoping for an enjoyable game and plenty of well behaved noisy Cas fans to help create a good atmosphere.
Missing bodies won't be an excuse for either team. Both teams are more than capable of beating the other. Let's hope the Giants can live up to the entertainment that Cas have provided all year and the referee doesn't ruin the game.
