i agree, still after so long without a win at odsal you can understand why they are getting ahead of themselves, even if this is probably the worst bradford side of the sl era.

Nice try, no cigar.

For me I think this is the first real test for Cas this year.

Hudds do look a good side - top six I reckon this year

the wins we have had whilst enjoyble have been against a very poor Salford side, an out of sorts Wigan team, and a Catalans side still not firing on all cylinders....... dont get me wrong the games needed winning and the team have done exactly that....but we have to keep our feet on the ground

Confidence is high .... but our record against Hudds is not a good one and you do appear to be taking over the hoodoo mantle from Wakey.

I am really looking forward to this game just to see exactly where we are ... a close win or loss and I will think we have a real chance of top eight this season .....

With my serious hat on I would have to agree with you. It's going to be close - alot closer than people think. Castleford should have the edge being at home but our boys are smarting from a poor performance and no doubt will have a fly in the ear from Brown.

Will it be the Cas lads wanting to turn around that preseason defeat that will make the difference? I wouldn't say so but I think the first 20 minutes could decide this game - one team getting a a few sets of six over the other and I think it will be game over.

I'm sorry, I don't enter into battles of wit with unarmed men.

Just as well you would still lose.

Next time, if you can, think on.
