Cas by 14

First game since Cas 28-St Helens 14 March last year. No Liam Watts, so? Who will win? Who cares? The big question of these troubled times: will the Real Ale Shed be open? Unbearable Tension!

In the cup-tie Rovers were by far the better team but couldn't quite hold on. A freak try by McShane turned the tables and then a score after the final hooter. Yes this points to a familiar Rovers failing but even Powell said his team were fortunate.

The game was a draw after full time and still a draw after the extra 10 minutes. If it had been a Super League game it was a draw even with the dreaded golden point.

I say this just to make the point that nobody should presume this will be a walk in for Cas.

Rovers have had a good long rest whilst Cas had to dig deep against Salford, plus Liam Watts is banned. Rovers got well beaten in the end against Warrington but they did yet again show some positive signs. I think they have looked good so far this year and I fancy them to cause a little upset here.

If you hadn't included those two words then I would agree with you.

Again, I think this will be a close one with Cas just edging it.

But don't be surprised if Rervers get the two points here.

[meast 1,964]

Rervers to edge a tight one, Powelly to complain about the weather/grass/light etc

Watts obviously missing isnt ideal, but James Claire is back .  Cas by 49.

I'm going to try and get it in up here in the North right now!

[corvusxiii 215]

Massive opening for HKR on their first set. Cas score on their first. More importantly Real Ale Shed is shut. Disaster!

KR held up over the line

[Kayakman 5,620]

That Holmes is a good player...not just of defence either.

[voteronniegibbs 262]

relieving kick from Richardson --- 40/20 

[corvusxiii 215]

Big yards from HKR. 40-20 by Cas. Hull possession and penalty. Looking good for Robin's.
