Eagles v Castleford challenge cup : Sun Apr 06, 2014 7:38 pm  

Have we met Cas in the cup since 98? I think it was a day of heavy rain - and Keith took out Barrie- John kept him out off next match but luckily not the final - silly boy(there was another momentous thing happened in Paris happen on the same day - Princes Di). Maybe this time Misi could take out someone in this one and get us through to the quarters. I think we're in with a chance - we know the coach very well !!!!

I'm really looking forward to it, no matter what happens as long as we give it a good go I will be happy

It will be a good test to see how we compare against Super League company Castleford have had an excellent start to the season and are currently 2nd with a 100% home record and victories over Wigan and Hull. In a normal season i would expect Castleford to finish in the bottom 4 and hence play us to the middle 8 playoffs

Princess Di died in 1997.

No no no no no no no no no - you're mixing up two different Cas games.

The heavy rain/Princess of Wales game was the last game of the 1997 season.

The '98 quarter final was in 1998.

We are, indeed, unbeaten down t'Lane i't'Challenge Cup.

Barrie Jon Mather dived!!!

Poor draw IMO. With Cas, Swinton and Keighley with ourselves in the last four of the draw I was hoping for an easier passage to the quarters. I'm sure we'll give a good account of ourselves but I'd be amazed if we won.
