I'd take a win in the CC against a loss on Thursday night.

Cas look to be very much in form at the moment but an injury or two will knock them out of step again.

Trick is with Cas is to starve them of field position as much as possible. They aren't the biggest team and I think you can keep them pegged in their own half their free form style doesn't have as much of an impact.

They have though a coach who IMO is the best in the league and I'm sure they will have a plan for us

Very tough place to go. Lockers injured shouldn't affect us too much as we went on to still give Leeds a good beating so im optimistic with Sam starting to show his class that we can destroy our hoodoo at Cas. Same team that played at Magic with maybe Farrell or Gelling to possibly come back would be perfect. Slowly but surely we are finding some balance again.

Same here. Going out of the CC early again is not an option!

Castlefords defence against a much bigger Warrington team was memorable and on the back of players like Gale kicking Wire back into their own 25 concerns me. They seem to play with options, something we're sadly still lacking.

I think being tidy around the ruck is key they get a lot of joy breaking out from the ruck with players like mcshane/gale/dorn feeding flying Solomona/Webster etc

Sadly gale I don't feel is a player who goes into his shell if you put him under pressure if anything it seems to spur him on more
