What ever the result I don't really think we can complain. We have had a lot of injuries to contend with but somehow keep going forward. Come on boys a couple more big efforts band funnily enough we might just bag it. COYF

Game day! Although I didn’t expect us to reach this stage, my expectations are raised after last week’s brilliant effort.

The pressure is all on them and they are not used to that.

I genuinely think that it’s one of those games where, as supporters, we can make a huge difference. Let’s take the roof off when the guys come out to warm up and let them know we are in this with them. We are in the stand facing the SKY cameras so a great chance to show the rest of SL what real support looks like.

Safe journey to everyone who is travelling to the game. See you all there.

With the amount of support Cas are taking to Salford it will be at least 25% of the attendance. Salford will also feel a tad batterered and bruised from last week’s match. Also Featherstone having won their two playoff matches from 5th position (albeit in the Championship) might prove to be an incentive to Cas if they need one. I reckon Cas will win and then face another battered and bruised side in the Semifinal as both Saints and Wigan are almost treating their Semifinal as if it will be a dress rehearsal for the Final itself.
Regarding the Championship I’m not so sure that Toronto are a certainty for Super League either as Fev are more likely to win in Canada than Toulouse are. Fev have a habit of upsetting top teams, and if they can win at Toulouse this weekend, they might well do a London on Toronto in the Final. They have won there before. I know many Cas fans don’t like Featherstone, but I’d rather see them in Super League than Toronto.

The RFL and SL would find a way to stop Fev coming up if that happened.

Echo what has been said, most of the pressure is on Salford, their end of season run was great and we are without a few from the run-on 17. They should win.

Personally as pretty much completely exiled TV follower now, I like the idea of Toronto and Toulouse more than more M62 stuff. But that is just my view.

I don't think it will be squeaky tonight, I think it will be a double digit win either way, once one of the teams gets a lead, the other will fold a bit I think, that goes either way. Salford because they've already over achieved their objectives and will call it a good season if they get beat now and call it play-off experience. Us, we have done well with what we have considering and got over Wire, so both coaches will be satisfied.

I feel Salford after score 1st tonight. If we start well and go a few scores up, that's the game. We have shown we can be a bit resilient the last few month when going behind, even if we've not won the game.

Big style. At the same time I’m grateful that our humble could be in its third consecutive play off semi final.

That said, I am dreaming of a once in a lifetime trip to OT and a miracle win. Need to calm down lad.....!!

I genuinely get worried when I see optimistic Cas fans.

This will be a tough game tonight and Salford cannot be taken lightly, even if they are batterd and bruised.

It’ll be a tough game - no doubt about that. Pressure is on Salford though, as others have said here. I also wonder how much the Wigan game took out of them.
As for us, it’s remarkable we’re two wins from Old Trafford after the season we’ve had. Credit again to DP and the players. DP has said all season that we’d have a chance if we got in the five and he’s being proved correct yet again.
I almost don’t like being too optimistic but I feel good about tonight. With the traveling fans behind us and plenty of intensity from Watts and co, I hope it’s another memorable night for the Mighty Tigers. #COYF!!
