Cas have a few major players out but think they will still nick it 18-14

This match is also being shown live and free on the Sky Sports YouTube channel.

Cas by 6.

[MZH]

Depends how we pick ourselves up from the disappointment of last week. Also, based on how they had been playing up until last week I have my suspicions that Cas have made the cup their main focus and you wonder what their mindset will be like too now they've got a final to look forward to.

I do think Hull are a better side all things being equal, but there's a lot of variables. We have shown promise at times this year and have been disappointing at others. We need to knuckle down and start stringing some results together now.

As an aside I'm looking forward to seeing Cameron Scott get an extended run at centre now. 

Hull by 8

[Barley Mow]

I predict a close one here. This could be the match of the round.

Either side by about 2 points.

[DimmestStar]

Castleford's team selection suggests that they are prioritising the challenge cup. Hull should win this one fairly comfortably.

Not sure Scott will get an extended run at centre. Think Faraimo will play tonight and Fonua to the centre.

Could be but I think it might also have something to do with the fact that Castleford have two short turnarounds on the trot. They're at Wakefield next Wednesday.

Just think its a case of the 3 main players weren't 100% fit last week. 

 

Good job as well for wire 

[snapski]

Just gonna enjoy each game until the final. Obviously given up on the league. 

[johnh1]

Cas can be very good, or very bad. Hull can be very good or very bad. On that basis, I predict a massive win for Cas, or a massive win for Hull, or a very close game.

Brian Carney quoting Mark Twain? Blimey!

[Hela Wigmen]

So, Radford was sacked on Sky Sports.

That is indeed the case.

The music is good!

[The Hallucinating Goose]

I'm sure I just saw a couple of people in the crowd wearing the new England shirt. See, someone has bought it!

Now that's how you make your debut...what a try.

[JohnM]

Can I change my vote?

[MZH]

Great response so far

Some finish from the young kid though.

[Dunbar]

Unbelievable.  What a great try.

[Man of Kent]

Great step. 

[johnh1]

He looks useful.
