Back on topic (sorry), that was the best defensive performance I have ever seen from a Castleford team.

It certainly was. We got the pride back in the shirt that was lacking since defeating Salford 12 months ago. Everyone playing for one another and a never-say-die attitude got us a magnificent win against all odds. I certainly did'nt see a win coming like that.

Many positives from the Leeds game IMO. Firstly Tansey - surely our best option for full-back. Millington looked stronger than ever. Shenton (my choice for MOM) was defensively outstanding, and Chase was back to his best. The highlight for me was the amount of work our young Cas produced forwards got through. Huby, Clark, Massey, Holmes and Milner. Sorry if I've missed anyone.

We should/will enjoy this victory dispite the other story.

Well done Tigers.

Top performance from 1-17, w had so much desire in defence and i thought we were very unlucky to not win by more, chase, holmes, tansey, clark, huby and hauraki all stood out for me and out played their opposite numbers.

When leeds had penalty after penalty and we had a man sin binned (which at the time to me looked very harsh considering the leeds team were on a warning when they were penalised for the same offence and they got away with it. Whats more it looked like the leeds player lost the ball attempting to offload. Either way from where the ref was stood it was impossible to see either way so he sin binned massey on an assumption) we showed real character in defence and worked for each other.

Well done cas, more of the same please

It was the Correct attendance unlike what was at your end of the common, your seats were half empty, your pigeon holes had hardly any one in them, for a place what supposedly holds 12,000 there was a hell of a lot of room.

Luckily Hull KR fans came in numbers to bolster the coffers, paying full rather than a tenner

Is our attendance really so important to you? Instead of getting your knickers in a twist about our continued success you should be rejoicing in a superb, hard fought victory!
