I fully expect Cas to come out all guns blazing.
Let's not forget that Tuimivave scored off an interception where Cas otherwise would most likely have scored.
That could have put a completely different complexion on the game.
I expect Powell will have them totally motivated to come back strongly to put the cup defeat firmly behind them.
Beware the wounded tiger.

Cas seemed to struggle against the quickness of the hull play the ball. Not certain that's a cas weakness or it just a sub par performance on the day.
Don't think there's any secret of the cas style of play. When the opportunity presents itself gale and Shenton swing the ball out quick to the wingers. Memo to briscoe ,please try and stay on the the wing and mark your opposite winger.

I feel that Hall is at times equally guilty of not trusting the defence inside him.

I think thats putting it mildly, his ability to hold shape with his on line D is next to zero.

Burrow has to have an operation so expect him out for a while.

I believe it's about eight weeks, having the plate taken out and a clear out.

Lilley needs to come back from Bradford then.

No he doesn't. Lilley is nowhere near SL standard.

Its odd someone mentioned a straight line in defence. The absolute worst case I think I've seen in years was Hull's against us this year - it was virtually a permanent dog-leg on their right side. Even our attack had a field day. A straight line in defence, whether moving up or sliding covers 90% of the team side of RL defence. Why sides cannot maintain this most basic facet is really quite amazing. Regularly running out of the line or not keeping it straight ought to lead to being dropped.
