Sorry but

Cas 42

Fax 26

Hope im wrong but got to be realistic

I agree. If we finish within 20 I will see that as a win taking into consideration the fact that Cas are full time and have a salary cap ( and therefore, probably, a wage bill ) which is more than 3 times ours.

It SHOULD be impossible for us to win but it isn't!

Damn right. We can be mentally (and defensively) fragile and Fax look good enough to capitalise on any complacency so a couple of early scores for you guys and anything could happen. However I suspect we'll be switched on after some recent indifferent performances and that we will ease home by around 16 points.

Thankfully the quarter final draw won't.

I'll be concerned if Fax run in 26 points.

With Owen and Netherton out it'll be interesting to see how TM lines us up.

For me, Thompson and Massey to miss out...

McGoldrick
Dixon
Evans
Shenton
Wainwright
Faumuina
Sherwin
Sargent
Chase
Higgins
Ferres
Jones
Clayton
===========
Westerman
Feather
Boyle
Ford

Though I expect TM will have Goldy at SO and Ford at FB.

You'll capitalise on a lot of our own mistakes I would imagine. With lobbing the ball around a lot it can also end up on the floor a lot.

unless we somehow manage to complete sets above 50% which we have not done too many times this season.

I have to admit I'll be rather disappointed with our defence if we concede three tries or more.

i would be disappointed if we didn't score three or more tries our attack is our strongest area

Big chance of an upset here. Cas are a decent team, but aren't playing that well.

Cas to sneak it though, maybe.
