Time to break the Cas hoodoo, Cas(a) on Friday : Tue Jul 26, 2022 8:20 am  

It's been a long, long time and before Saints last Sunday we looked nailed on to get turned over again.
However, if we can repeat the spirit and intensity, could Friday be the game where we actually beat our closest rivals.

Cas are sure to start as strong favourites but, we are fighting for our SL spot and the kitchen sink, along with anything else that we have, needs to be thrown at this one.

Come on Trin !

Trinity sides with more passion and guts have failed so I can't see this current team beating them.
I would love to be wrong mind, it's getting beyond a joke this losing streak against them ...

A very good friend of mine has a theory about this. We have not beaten Cas since we sent them McShane. He says if Mc Shane plays, they win no matter who else is in the team.

He could be correct and from my cas contacts there is no doubt they intend to stick a knife deep in our heart on Friday.

All I am hoping for is no injuries or suspensions as our next realistic chance of a win is Catalan

I've just heard we are down to our last fit 17. If this is true it will be your best chance in ages. Can't understand why we have let good players go out on loan when we have so many injured.

We (Lino) were less than an inch away from stealing the game in the dying seconds last season at Cas.

Nowt wrong with positive thinking. But bookies dont do that thats why we are getting 14 start.

They're not always right, they also had Wigan down to beat Leeds last week, mind you, so did I

Wildy, if we play like we did on Sunday we will beat them easily, but we won't - why I just don't know.

Since 2015 we have had a number of team formations more than capable of beating them. I think we've come close maybe twice in that time. It's pathetic.

That said it's not as pathetic as gifting Toulouse nearly half their SL points.

Sunday was a magnificent effort by the team but I seriously doubt they have the resilience required to repeat it. Certainly not so soon and certainly not against Cas, truth is mentally Cas have already won it.

If I were coach and thank god I'm not. I'd select wherever possible players who've never played for us against Cas. Maybe they will not understand the rule that we must always bend over and take it and actually give them a game. Just a thought.
