Terry Worried about Brough

Ex-Tigers star, Danny Brough, is the man to watch out for against Wildcats tomorrow according to Tigers head coach, Terry Matterson.
Talking to the P&C Express, Matterson said, "He's a vital cog in what they're doing at Wakefield, particularly with Brad Drew out. A lot of the stuff they're doing centres around him and we'll be working hard to cut down his options."
Terry commented on Danny's strong points saying, "There's some areas of his game that's very good - his kicking game is as good as any - and we need to try and nullify that as much as possible. He'll also know about what we're doing but it's one thing to know it and one thing to stop it."
Tigers boss, Terry Matterson questions the easter schedual with a game on Friday and then on the following Monday against Warrington, "I was hoping the squad was going to be bigger but it isn't. When you have to play Friday and Monday, you have to make some decisions as to which game's the most important. Wakefield as the first game is the most important, then we worry about Monday."
The Tigers will be looking for a win after their dismal display against Hull KR last week which saw them loose by 20 points to 4. Lets hope the tight schedual doesn't give Cas' any more injuries with three first-team players already missing Fridays match with Wakie.

Goldie's message to Casforum Members

Ryan McGoldrick kindly spared a few minutes of his own time to send all members of casforum.co.uk and Castleford Fans a message touching on the Leeds game and his views and hopes for the future...
Hi all ye faithfull Tiger fans hope this message finds you all in good spirits for the up-coming games.
Firstly to the win over Leeds, it was a terrific night and we showed that when we get it right we can play a good brand of football it is now the task of backing up that type of performance which we now face. I think that pretty much sums up the challenge we face this year.
When we put it together as shown in patches of all the games we have played it has shown that we are a capable footy side and it is now our challenge to replicate this for 80min week in week out.
There are a few games that I am looking forward to throughout the season obviously every home game is special with the crowd we get down the Jungle along with games against Leeds, Wakey, St.Helens and Bradford. so there is plenty to look forward to.
I think this year has to be seen as a building year for the club both on and off the field. there are a lot of talented juniors coming through that need to be looked after, however, in saying that we are, when we get it right, a more than capable rugby side and we need to show this not only to our loyal fans but to ourselves.
Hope to see you at the games
Ryan

Castleford Tipped to Finish Bottom
Image used with kind permission of William Hill
Bookmaker, William Hill, has tipped Castleford Tigers to finish bottom of the SL table with odds currently at 4/11.
William Hill put Catalans next favourite with odds around 11/2.
Favourites to finish top and win the Grand Final are Leeds with odds of 7/4 followed closely by St. Helens with odds of around 9/4. However if you put just a £1 bet on the Tigers' winning the SL Grand Final and everything went your way, you would walk home with £300.
With over half the season left to play, Im sure these odds will change dramatically, one thing is for certain however, as far as William Hill are concerned, Castleford Tigers have a lot of work to do if they are to come off the bottom of the Table and escape the bottom 3.
