Lets look at the stats

Cas Stats

* Cas were only 16-6 up at half time against Keighly, finished 64-20
* 5th best on points scored (289)
* 6th on ponts per game (24.08 )
* 10th in points conceded (297)
* 9th on points per game conceded (24.75)
* Won 7 of the 12 games played
* Only team in top 9 to have negative points difference (-8 )

Fax Stats

* Fax were trailing at half time to Widnes 6-8. finished 20-16
* 1st points per game (301)
* 1st points per game (43.00)
* 2nd in points conceded (122)
* 3rd in points conceded per game (17.43)
* Won 7 of the 7 games played
* Unbeaten in all competitions
* Have a points difference of 179

I'm going with Fax by 4
Att: yes i will be there
First try Greenwood

Surely the stats don't lie



Oh come on...national league stats! A lot of your opposition have been fairly poor teams overall...

I'll be very worried if we don't get over 40 points against you.

Returning players and all the boys wanting to get to Wembley, I think we'll have enough over you from kick off.

Our forwards are superb - and I dunno why some of your fans say look at last week. We were royally shafted in that game, we scored three superb top notch tries which only a club with real flair, pace and prowess could do.

Top of the Championship is a fair achievement with an 100% record, but even so, I can only see you pushing us for the first 40 mins. The second forty will be a different story, with us possibly taking the foot off the gas last five minutes for a couple of easy Fax scores.

HT: Cas 18-6 Fax
FT Cas 44-16 Fax.

Admit it, you're scared aren't you. It's nothing to be ashamed of!

faxtastic can you remember we've already stopped beswick black etc when we won the national league... twice,, our forwards will destroy yours and not allow you many attacking oppurtunities, then its the turn of raz mcgoldrick sherwin and chase shenny ferris wainright dixon evans and westy if he plays.

lets be real about this for a second shall we

cas 38 fax 10

att 7600
(900 fax fans)

you may have stopped them before but black has played well this eason finds the smallest holes in the defence i know the opposision will be better than anything we have faced this season ( no offence to the championship sides)
beswick has an excellant short kicking game which can be dangerous to any side if excecuted properly.

penky best player in the league no doubt has added a little bit more control to his game this eason than last and could easily make the step up to super league.

gleeson again super league class has a lot of tricks and good out of dummy half good at finding a good pass close to the line.

have you seen our forwards am not saying they are as big as yours but are quite caperble of a line break and some good yardage. theres 2 guys dont know if you heard of them frank watene and said tamgart they difficult to put down and if you dont get them down the quick play of the ball and penky and gleeson are away and gone.

we also have dana wilson and neil cherryholme as well who can also make good yards.

althoug i think you will win it wont be half as easy as some people think it will be i think you will only start moving ahead in the last 20 because of fitness

Of course they know who Frank Watene is... dear god.

I think we could be in for a spanking. Just hoping for a good day out and a proud showing from the lads

If our defence is tough and rugged like it has been this season then it will be close, anything else and Cas will win comfortably.

Whatever happens there will be plenty of points and a quality game!

Petrified

I dont know how we are gonna cope with your massive pack.
World class half backs and the speed of the three quarters.

6-48 to halifax
