I was confident we'd sell out for Hull FC, Cas, Leeds and Wigan, but Hull KR was a bonus. We play them at Belle Vue again on a Saturday in September which should sell out again. And you look at the crowd Leigh brought last Friday night and our home league fixture against them looks a likely sell out too.


7 sell outs from 13 home games would be pretty good wouldn't it? Maybe that's part of the 5 year plan - up the capacity slightly for next year, then again for 2027 with the west terrace improvements. 

I agree, even with our makeshift spine and they with their strongest team out (which they won't have), we should still roll them. 


With the exception of Saints, I've felt 50/50 going into every league game this year; we'll win if we play well, we'll lose if we don't. 


But we're going on a run of five games now where I'd be really disappointed if we don't win 3 or 4, and it starts this weekend. Spells like this will be the difference between us finishing 6th or 9th.

Well Cas could have Amone and Dezaria in their squad which would boost them.

I agree. On form we should put 30 on them but in some ways I think that will work against us.


If I were McGuire I would be planning fast line speed early on and really chance our arm in attack especially against anyone out of position 
Hoy and Cini are just made for a 7s type game.
It could catch us out


However if they start getting offside, drop the ball because they don't have the players to do it, they'll just hand us the game.


We have to stick with it too. Our forwards will wear them out so even if they get ahead we should stick to the plan as points will come late in the game.


I really want to win this one to assert some dominance over our neighbour after such a long time

Cas have signed a prop from Catalan in time for our game.
