For once the narrow pitch may help us a little. We are leaking like crazy on the flanks so it may help us tighten up our defence, especially if we defend as we did against Saints, and that is about as good as we get.

I have always got the impression the Cas pitch is quite wide, its the length thats sub standard. However wide or narrow, everytime I watch them it seems to me the majority of their trys are out wide, no matter who the opposition are. They always seem to score at least another try from McShanes little grubber kick at PTB.
I think Cas will have to have an 'off night' and we will have to play at the very top of our game to have a chance.

Under Powell they has a play to their left with the FB coming into the line which caught us out far more times than I can remember.
Under Radford, their play is more power based but, they have some quality in their backs and Westerman is doing a great job for them too.

They are favourites on the handicap but, we are fighting for our lives so, hopefully a close game, with Trin to sneak a win

I do hope we don't have Jon Wilkin commentating tomorrow. Absolutely sick of hearing his voice tonight!

Unfortunately I can't stand for long and don't intend to sit with Cas fans.

I've got Sky Q and unfortunately that means I'm locked into their contract till the back end of this year, then they've all gone and I'll be £102 a month better off, the crap internet the netball basketball all the other rubbish stuff and most pleasing of all Wilkins, that pr@t from Cas who showed his face for a season with us not forgetting Clark as well as listening to Arthurs telling us a dozen times a night how many injuries the other teams got, just simply turn the sound off, it's so much simpler, the good thing is it works when your watching other Sky sports programmes as well.

Think when you say you are leaving Sky will try to make you a offer to stay .I pay under 80£ As said I stoped watching S L half way through the season .Same reason as you ,on about injury to other teams ,but if you did not no we play with a full team every week .Agree a lot about the other sports a load of rubbish ,especially trying to push ladies sport down our throats. Making a big deal about England ladies scoring 4 goals the other day .Saw the goals one morning ,and my 7 year old grandson said he could have stopped 3 of them goals sums it up for me Mr Carter said Sky as cut money to S L right down but it as the second biggest viewing figures.

You guys really get upset over the smallest things.

And the ladies football is on the BBC and is outstanding.
