Discuss Castleford Tigers v Wakefield Trinity here.

[Rioman]

Wakefield by 2

[Kirmonds pouch]

God only knows but after dominating Cas from about 2004 to 2011 it’s totally turned around. Wakey have not won since 2015 and that takes some getting over in phycological terms.

Cas win for me, I’ll be happy if we make it difficult for them.

Wakey by 10

[One F in Wakefield]

Both teams got loads out, not sure Reynolds and Hampshire will be able to step in and replace Brough and Miller in one game.  Gonna go Cas by 8 

[MZH]

Cas seem slightly better equipped to cope with their injuries than Wakefield do imo, so based on that and home advantage I will go for Cas by 10.

Looking forward to the forward battle though. Watts v Fifita should be tasty.

[Wakey Til I Die]

Wakey by 6. 

[Dunedan]

The way Castleford have been playing lately, I can't see us winning this. Wakey by a score.

[muckymunksy]

Cas by 20 

[Chronicler of Chiswick]

I'll say Cas by 4 as they're the home side, but it could go either way.

[Agbrigg]

Last time I looked bookies had wakey +12 , far from confident about a win but that start looks extremely generous

Agree, had a few sheckles on Wakey based on that.

Who will be the most likely left wing and centre partnership for Wakey?

[Wildcat]

With the sheer amount of injuries we have I have to say Cas by around 12. Hope I'm wrong though. 

[Bleep1673]

Cas by 3

[Morris Wanchuk]

If Wood plays I’m backing Wakey, but if he misses out I think Wakey have lost too many pivots in too short a space of time & Cas will have too much. A close one though! 

[WakefieldCityLoyal]

Who ever loses can blame their injuries.

Up the Trin

I was really surprised to see how big the handicap was for two teams with the same number of points. I know Wakefield have a lot of players missing but Castleford aren't exactly at full strength themselves.

Our record against Cas the last few years is pants, plus WR is a tough place to go, so all in all seems about right to me.

Fair enough, I'm sure you're a better judge of your team's prospects than I am.

Still tempted though...

[DavidM]

You recruit more muscle fibres ... oh Phil

[Futtocks]

Cas 12:0 up after 16 minutes. Sene-Lafeo was injured in the scoring of the second try, though

[Futtocks]

And Cas go in again! Big break from Aston, then some good passing near the line left a gap for Clare to run through in the corner.

[MADREDNIGE]

Game as good as over already - or is it? 

[DavidM]

Its a carve up

[Futtocks]

Cory Aston has had to wait a bit for his chance, but he's just scored his first try for Cas.
