An excellent performance by Cas I think.

Watts being back for Castleford and Feki making his debut is a boost. But good news for us that Knowles is fit. With the way we have played the last 2 weeks and Peyroux still not at 100% fitness, Percival for Costello will probably be our only change.

Castleford haven't beaten us at home for around 30 years I think and given how we were off our game last time we met, I imagine we will want to right that wrong.

[Saint Toppy]

Just Peyroux and Paulo missing through injury for Saints, so a fairly strong squad with Percival back in the centres

1. Lachlan Coote, 2. Tommy Makinson, 3. Kevin Naiqama, 4, Mark Percival, 5. Regan Grace, 6. Jonny Lomax, 7. Theo Fages, 8. Alex Walmsley, 9, James Roby, 11. Zeb Taia, 13. LMS, 14. Morgan Knowles, 15. Matty Lees, 16. Kyle Amor, 17. Jack Ashworth, 19. Aaron Smith, 20. James Bentley, 22. Jack Welsby, 23. Joe Batchelor,  27. Lewis Dodd, 32. James Graham.

Clearly I am biased but that Saints squad looks very strong indeed, Cas have it all to do.

Been some fabulous games between the sides in recent seasons (with Cas winning a fair few) so hopefully an entertaining game in prospect.

[Gerrumonside ref]

Super Saints to ensure it’s another weekend in which none of the Yorkshire teams win in Super League.

I thought that Lomax was very quiet in such a big win last week, Trueman may just make him put more into the game, Saints by 18.

[Loiner]

No contest. 

[Sir Kevin Sinfield]

Cas have no chance, bookies have them at 5/1 and I can’t see that tempting many

Not with the team we have put out. Might as well send Feki home if he cant get in front of Clare.

They should have put that set restart noise on for the full benny hill effect 

[DavidM]

James Child saying two balls so the Cas bloke has obviously had his medical check 

[Futtocks]

Half an hour gone, and no score - anyone going to pretend that they had a bet on this?

[Bedfordshire Bronco]

I don't bet but I'd say Cas defence looks solid so a narrow loss within 6 or less for them would be my bet.

[snapski]

James Clare is awful

[DavidM]

If I had a pound for every time O’Connor said quality in a game I’d have £273

[Bedfordshire Bronco]

Targeting Clare with good reason

Looks very very nervous... Think he's a better player than this

[dkw]

Quality first half, both teams defences have been mostly excellent and very committed. On that clare pat into touch, could that be a penalty? 

[Padge]

Interesting half.

[bratman]

Good ball handling skills.
