He's played the two best half's in SL apparently and tactically out played them out thought them and out kicked them in massive knockout games. He does it every time, time after time what he has to do is a mystery to get an England start to me

Connor was excellent he changed the game in the 2nd. Looks an astute signing for us. Robert Lui is one hell of a player a pleasure to watch some wonderful defence splitting steps and passes.

Looks in the same mould of Fonua big and strong, south sea islanders at Hull have been superb for us.

The game couldn't of gone ahead without RFL sanctioning, maybe Hull and Wigan have been easier to deal with than the RFL as a whole. Both chairman are groundbreakers and must have put a huge amount of work to get in.

From what I've read this looks like a deal set up by Wigan and Hull and not the RFL. If they've got the local agencies involved and are being welcomed over there why the negativity. Both clubs are yes going to use it as a marketing initiative and they've got to be congratulated that they have managed to get a foot in the door of a very hard market to crack. They've been ahead of the game and thought Big the opportunities for both clubs is huge I'll guarantee they will be a few SL chairman who will be kicking themselves they aren't involved.

If he'd done it against Leeds or Wigan believe me you wouldn't see him this side of Christmas ?

I think you are in a similar position to us last year, we faded badly after th CC Final, not saying it's going to happen to Cas but I still think you need more options if needed. Jake Connor was brought in along with Griffin and three of our 21's have stepped up and been outstanding. Ellis is not being rushed back we had the luxury of resting Kelly and Mini last week. Powell could do with giving Gale a rest if they get the LL Shield wrapped up early.

Cas aren't top out of luck, well coached with quality players my only concern for me would be how when it matters they deal with injuries, if they lose Gale and a couple of there pack I don't think they have strength in depth to sustain there superb season already.

You cannot give Cas a lead like that and expect to win but another 5 mins who knows. People mentioning on twitter about footage from last nights game of Gale stamping on Conners ankle haven't watched it back yet.

Picked up an original mono copy of Geno Washington and The Ram Jam Band's Hand Clappin' Foot Stompin' Funky - Butt ... live the other day from my favourite 2nd handshop. Cracking album in excellent condition too.

I hope it's a cracker, always look forward to visiting Cas. I see Radford has brought Griffin back replacing Michael's so I would expect kicks to the corners.

Puzzled why people always state if it's played down the middle Hull will win. Our backs are just as big as our forwards and are our biggest threat. When we beat Cas in Cup Eden was anonymous and Shenton had a mare. If our backs are on form Friday Cas will be in trouble outside. Its going to be close home advantage could be the difference but I'm confident we can get the win I cannot wait. 16 - 24
