I've been quite critical of McGoldrick in the past but he has really put his hand up recently. He looks threatening when running to the line, and is consistently challenging defenders. I wish someone who get up his backside and look for the offload, because it's on.

I reckon Sherwin's contribution is evident in the stats on Sunday. Look at the number of drop outs we forced. He was putting bombs up with pin-point accuracy, dropping them just in front of the line.

More of the same at Quins please.

Another play who deserves some credit is snowie, i know he mucked up that kick but it was a bad bounce and he was under alot of pressure. He saved a try, scored a try and ran as hard as any prop on the field up the middle.

Totally agree and I'm not sure he did muck up the kick - looked as though an attacker got a boot to the ball just as he went down for it. The guy's only a back-up winger and on that basis (and on value for money) I would say he's doing his job better than almost everyone else in the squad.

Yeah, the Cats player kicked the ball against him and then he regathered and I thought a knock on was harsh but it was one of those decisions that will go our way and even itself out some other time.

Mike Wainwright deserves all the credit in the world IMO. I tire of saying that "he'll never be the best, but..." because we say this every week and he very rarely lets us down. His workrate is second to none at Cas.

Maybe sherwins after a new 1yr contract or something,that maybe why he has kicked himself into gear.Thought sherwin played as good as he has been in a cas shirt but his defence is not the best in my opinion.

I can't imagine Sherwin or Cas will realistically be considering another year. I know there was talk of him wanting to earn another deal near the start of the season but I reckon it's got to be in everyone's interest for him to retire at the end of the season.

yeah think we need to be looking at a scrum half now who can build with chase,someone simular age or around 26,27 mark.getting a good half back partnership in place will only benefitthe club and the whole team.not sure who is avalible but must be our main position to fill.
