This looks like a very open game with plenty of tries so il go for over.
Cas just missed out on last seasons play offs but having made a perfect start to the new season with 4 wins from 4 they look one of the sides to watch and on this form sure to make that top 8.
Unlike previous seasons the Tigers are looking pretty powerful up front and with Orr signed to partner Chase its fair to say their half back pairing is as good as any side. I also like the fact the manager has given so many youngsters a chance- they have repaid him with some terrific performances. Clarke is clearly going to be a star in super league for many years his dummy half runs are very nippy.
Bradford have changed so many players over the summer and to be fair to the boss he really had to as they were awful last season. Despite taking a couple of hammerings from Wigan and Giants i think the Bulls have improved already. There is far more quality in their attack and much more speed in the side. We have seen a number of terrific tries scored by them in recent weeks. Royston looks a very exciting prospect and exactly what they missed under McNamara. There is a lot of work to be done on defence- as we seen last week- but at least Bradford are confident in attack and throwing the ball around.
This has a history of being very high scoring so i expect that to continue. Both sides are playing some good stuff at the moment and have plenty of options in attack but Bradford in particular have some real issues in defence more so on their left side. The Bulls forwards are not the quickest at moving up either and this leaves a fair bit of space to attack- perfect for players like Orr, Clarke and Chase.
It is also going to be interesting to see how Cas defend on a wider pitch. At home their line has been ok-ish but at Bradford there will be a bit more space which i think the home side can and will take advantage of.
