8 sleeps to go.



Really looking forward to seeing a live game again. What do we reckon, first half fullish strength, then loads of interchanges?

Smailes tweeted today that McDonnell and Holdsworth have looked very good in training, and we've already heard about Galea and Ellis impressing. Can't blooming wait. Has the ref been announced yet?

Child reprising his starring role in a Fc/Cas game?

Wonder whether Bentham is back, best one IMO.

Don't imagine it'll be great to be honest. Only just be back from Tenerife, which is a longer trip this yr. 13 sessions in 8days. Likely to be goosed. Errors a plenty and then massive change overs throughout game. I'd not be surprised if we lost. Then by time we played Rove's the next week I'd expect we'd be more ready and tuned in. That should be a good un been last proper hit out before season starts, but don't expect much from cas game. Be nice to see some of the of new n young 1s though

What have Cas been up to mate

maybe we will be off the pace somewhat but i reckon the buys will be doing their up most to stake a claim on a starting role come the 1st game of the season

Why will we be off the pace?

Did a army camp before Christmas.

Im going but not bothering with the derby

I'm/we're going. I have missed my 'rugby fix' and can't wait to to shout myself ho every week. Bring it on. Let's not forget it's Yeamo's testimonial game.

Same way we was off the pace when we played KR last season...then played Bulls and stuffed them...for this reason alone il be going to the derby...will be to see how the new players go and what new structures in place..not because i need a live fix or such bolloxs.

Don't always do Friendlies but Kirk Yeaman has been a great servant to FC and my attendance has more to do with that than a rugby fix or such.

For example I didn't do Radfords last year as I didn't feel he had earned it but I will attend Richard Whitings next year again to support a great servant ot the club.
