Castleford 18-32 Hull FC

[Sir Kevin Sinfield]

Hull by 10 points, Cas to stay at the foot of the table on 0 points 

[MZH]

Radford has said that Hull are still running his playbook so they should be able to have an idea what we are going to do. 

Hull by 30

I wouldn't read too much into that HDM article, they're doing a fair bit of paraphrasing in my opinion.

If Cas can't get up for this one then they're in real trouble. Their coach will let them know it's one they need to win so I think they'll be well up for it. 

Having said that it's difficult to work out how they're struggling so badly this year, the loss of Holmes and Matautia can't make that much of an impact surely?

Or is it simply down to Powell leaving?

Whatever, I think it'll be a close one.

It's a game we should win comfortably. They can be as up for it as they want but they look poorly organised and ill disciplined and generally like a very poor team. I want us to build on the Salford game with another ruthless performance. Plus we have some more troops back (Savelio, Evans at the very least, maybe more) whereas they are missing important players. My 30 point prediction was a bit tongue in cheek based on Radford's comment (fair enough maybe they shouldn't be taken as the HDM have reported them) but anything less than a double figures win will be underwhelming.

[Snowys Backside]

On Form, should be Hull. I dont know why, but would not surprise me if Cas sneak this one.

Hull by 8.

2 poor teams 2 points either way.

One thing is for sure, Cas are no longer running Powell's playbook

[Old Frightful]

Tuimavave is still a big miss but we're now getting one or two others back slowly.

Might run a sweep to see how long Kane Evans stays on the pitch.

Cas squad :

Hull to beat Hull A by 10 points in what could be a tasty encounter.

Cas have been on decline since that fabulous season in 2017.

 

Powell is obviously a good coach but Ive yet to see anything to say he is a great one, his sides have consistently fallen short when it actually matters.

 

He will go well at Warrington but I’m not sure it will be this year, they look to be lacking a lot up front.

 

I think Cas may sneak this one in an entertaining and tough game, im half tempted to go watch it as I think it will be a great game for the neutral. If Conner plays well Hull win.

[Old Frightful]

Should be a decent atmosphere tomorrow as Hull have shifted around 2,000 tickets for the game. Along with the away fans who will be paying on the gate it should make for a sizeable crowd.

Cas score from kick off. Wheres the hooter?

[MZH]

Cas score inside 10 seconds. Sao knock on and Cas jump on the loose ball.

Radford firing them up in the sheds pays immediate dividends! 

[MZH]

Sounds like an absolute shambles of a start from Hull. 

Houghton in the sin bin.

I'm not sure Hull dropping a pass cold on the kick off was part of his plan tbf.

Not sure they actually understand anything he says at all tbf

[MZH]

We sound absolutely terrible. We need to survive the next few minutes without Houghton otherwise it's going to be game over. Westerman has been penalised for passing off the floor to let us off the hook.

[MZH]

Both sides are making plenty of mistakes.

[Fevrover]

Salford beat cas surely Hull will ?
