.... not quite as good as Leeds @ 1/50.

Will all these still be out on Sunday??

Our backs should be at full strength unless injury in training this week. Pack is a little light with recent injuries to Moors, Cook, Springer, Maher and long terms Patrick and Oggy Holmes.

Sneyd will definitely be out. Houghton was illness so should play. I dont honestly know about any of the others, but I would imagine at least a couple will be back.

What's surprising ? I'm certainly not gunna say we will win but we are "run away" leaders so of course the bookies will make us favourites for the game at the weekend. 1/2 is fairly slight by what have been at timea this year, we were 1/10 today and 1/80 against Widnes.

Don't worry. Its just those mind games again. 1/2 means the bookies think that if the fixture was played 3 times Hull would win once and Cas twice. Hardly runaway favourites.

Well, as fans we'd like to think we have some sort of chance. But the independent bookies and media clearly see it otherwise, which it is their job to, I guess. Oh well..

"Mind games"? Let's see how many independent pundits and bookmakers tip us this week.

1/2 is far from conclusive . I reckon we win be roughly 4-6 point favourites, which I think is fair. It's an acknowledgement of what could be a close game that may go either way. Hull will be 6/4 I would guess.

More will fancy Cas than us. But 1/2 is fairly insignificant in RL betting. According to Flashscores Salford were 2/5 against us. Wigan were 1/2 against Leigh and 4/11 against Wakefield the other week. None of those were easy to call and were all very comfortable wins against the odds.
