Well, I'm always confident so I'll have to predict a Castleford win this Sunday...I know Halifax have been on a good run of form etc, but they haven't really impressed me that much this season. People will disagree with me but they've lost a few points against mid table teams. It wasn't that long ago that a few Fax supporters were saying they wouldn't go to anymore away games till the coach was sacked!
Ok, I'll put it another way-they have had 2 stunning wins against Whitehaven, and now Hull KR, full credit to them. However, they've struggled against Barrow, struggled against Featherstone, lost to Rochdale, lost to Doncaster a few times. Castleford are unbeaten at home this season, so whatever happens it should be a great game. These words might come back to haunt me but thats the way I see it right now.
Onto the final, IF Cas get there I'm not confident about our chances. 18-0 up against Haven and we should have played out our sets, dropped a goal etc but we bottled it, the same way we bottled the NR Final. I think Haven now have a mental advantage over us as well.
