[Chronicler of Chiswick]

Unfortunately I've got to let my head rule my heart - Cas by 20.

[muckymunksy]

London 10-44 Cas 

[Wollo Wollo Wayoo]

Relatively big win for Cas.  Relatively big crowd for London.

[The Future is League]

You know at some stage in the game that the Broncos will have a bad 15 minutes and that's when the Tigers will really pile on the points.

Tigers by 24

[Quinskolar]

Not sure will cope with the Tropic of Ealing temperatures,. Going to be hot on Saturday night. 

[Davc1h]

Looking forward to this and a night in London.

London will be tough at home all season I reckon and this will be pretty close and Cas need to show them the respect they deserve. If not could come away with nothing.

[THE RED ROOSTER]

There  are a lot of people thnking the next three games fgor London equal three defeats. London have to treat each game as winnable and play accordingly. At the end of the day it's XIII v XIII on the field and you play what is in front of you not the reputation. IIRC it was Gary Mercer's Castleford that tried damage limitation at a game against Leeds and conceded a shedload of points which altered the points differential in such a negative way as to almost act as a point deduction so the Broncos have to have a crack regardless and be positive about their chances.

I never tip the Broncos so a loss by 20 but if they could pull off a win then the psychological boost to the club would be immense.

I would also expect all Rugby League fans in the area to swell the gate, I mean it's not that you would be watching anything else on Saturday at 5.15 would you ....

Heading over to the game later and hoping to see the level of performance I saw vs Wakefield since this will be the sternest test for Broncos yet.

Hoping for a home win but I think we’ll struggle to combat McShane. Looking forward to seeing McMeeken as well. 

If we ‘do a London’ and go absent for 10-15mins this could blow out in which case I’m going for Cas 38-12. 

[Kenilworth Tiger]

McMeeken is out unfortunately

 

900 tickets sold by cas which is mightily impressive

[snapski]

We are not going to risk anyone who is not 100% on a 4g pitch. Think that’s why Roberts was left out.

[Ullman]

Don't know what this is that's on Sky at the moment but it sure as hell ain't the build up to London v Cas.

[thunderpete]

It's Union. You can tell because people are just standing around

Funnily enough just came on here to say something similar. Thought my sky was playing up or something. 

[Wildcat]

Good old Sky!

Yeah, I kept checking I'd got the right channel.

Whatever it was, the empty seat counters on here would have been kept busy all weekend.

[DavidM]

The union game only lasted about four hours so it was a good paced one 

[DavidM]

What a cracker from watts !

[snapski]

Watts a hit 

[Just Browny]

Watts shoulder went straight into the London player's temple there. Direct contact with the head. No idea that was fine provided you 'wrap the arm'. Dirty ####.

All the officials are wrong then 

[Ullman]

Great hands from London for the try and a cracking conversion off touch from Dixon.
