Why people endlessly get sucked in by the Cas I have no idea, especially those chumps who continually rate them higher than a vastly superior Wakefield - a team Cas have beaten once since 2003. Give your heads a shake and look at the team that is really challenging
It took you awhile to come out eh? nevermind it's still early days.

Give it up man, you look silly enough as it is. You can't seriously believe a team that can't win local bragging rights at home will get top four. Cas are a decentish team who had a good run. What's telling is that Wakefield have won all but one of there games by 20+ points whilst Cas have won by a try or two. What does that tell you luv
You have been suckered by the Cas spin doctors, you're not the first

I'm sure you'll be a little quieter on Monday evening when Bradford have turned you over and we've won at Wire.
Daz mate you're doing it again - you may be right but wait till after not before. Now I can't lose because I'm not predicting, if yours goes wrong what else can I do but commnt or milk it as you say.
For the record and to let you off the hook, you won't beat Warrington. Bradford I don't know, it's a hard one to call. Are Bradford a basically poor team who just raised their game on friday or a good team lacking confidence and needing a win to kick on. So here goes. I think Bradfor are a poor team with a paper thin squad, they are poorly led and as such will struggle to gain a back to back victory. No prediction as such, that's as brave as I'm willing to be until monday night.
Overconfidence, a lot of Cas fans seem to think we're supposed to beat everyone this year but as I have posted elsewhere, we've been winning games by very small margins so where this outlook has come from I'm not sure.
Last night wasn't the Cas we've seen playing well all season, that's fair to say but we were well and truly beaten. I think it will do us well though, it's a big kick up the backside to the players to remind them that we've been winning games, but we're not guaranteed to beat everyone.

Fair play to Wakey, again.
FWIW Cas have a problem - they want to be classy Cas but aren't. You only have one style of play from what I see and that is spread it wide. If it comes of you may win, if you are sussed you fail because you have no plan B , you're team can't adapt. You will get a few spectacular wins but will not be consistent.
The real classy Cas of the 80's had a solid pack and good halves who could win tight games, this one doesn't for me.
That is my opunion on Cas from the limited exposure I have had - am I wrong?

Vastman, great win for you lot. We missed Goldy but he wouldnt have stopped many of your tries so got to admit you lot were better and deserved it.
As for Cas, we have done well so far and sadly some Cas fans now think we are suddenly a top 4 team again - thats simply not the case.
One thing I do think tho is that this year the salary cap really seems to be working. Look at our results, Quins results, Dragons results? 2nd bottom Bulls beating 2nd top Rhinos. More games than ever have a real chance that both teams can win. All good to me!
Be loyal be loud, be Cas, be proud - wherever in the world you are!
