Easy away win. 

[MZH 2,084]

Cas by 12

[GeordieSaint 6,482]

Difficult one this... Cas have started well; but KR were good against Catalan and excellent against Saints. 

Cas by 8 if they play well. 

[HKR AWAY DAYS 305]

Where to start? 

Defence, I suppose. I think it is fair to say that our goal line defence on Thursday worked hard and thwarted a lot of second half attacks, repeat sets etc. 

That's our major (well, only) real positive because we attacked like Stephen Hawking in a swimming pool.

Cas are a good side and they start brightly; Oliver Holmes has opened the scoring for them in the first two games so hopefully he stubs his toe on the living room table.

Obviously Powell is off so one can only hope this has caused so much disruption that Jake Trueman lets the hotel alarm off at 3am.

We need to start playing from the off instead of letting sides build leads higher than the current UK Covid vaccination number, or at least complete a set of 6. That would be just swell.

Prediction: Rovers by 8.

[DimmestStar 309]

Castleford have been very impressive so far, Rovers have lacked nothing in effort but there are weaknesses which you'd expect Cas to exploit.

Cas always seem to blow Rovers away early on and then just control the game. Hopefully Rovers can compete for longer this time but I'd have to go for a Cas win.

[ATLANTISMAN 1,144]

Rovers by 6, will watch on Our League with double interest to see how my wifes new LED system she has had installed at Rovers works:)

[Old Frightful 6,291]

Early try to Rervers.

4-0.

[Old Frightful 6,291]

Rervers should have bin two tries to the good at least given their early dominance but Cas held their nerve and Trueman opens their account. Rervers 4 Cas 6.

[Ullman 2,000]

At least Richard Stead managed not to do a Gwilym during the minute's silence.

[Old Frightful 6,291]

Quinlan under the sticks.

Rervers 10 Cas 6.

[Old Frightful 6,291]

New Tongan signing trundles over.

Rervers 16 Cas 6.

[Old Frightful 6,291]

Parcel over now.

Rervers 22 Cas 6.

It's looking like a romp...but not as we thunk it.

[MZH 2,084]

Not watching it, but that sounds like a belting first half from Rovers.

Abdul over now, Rervers recaptured their first arf form.

Rervers 32 Cas 18.
