Using tonights game as an example, the positive noise made by the Cas fans, was without doubt during two distinct periods. Firstly, during the period which followed Rangi flattening Ben Westwood with a bell ringer of a tackle. Around the 8th or so minute. This was followed by a spell of our lads really getting stuck in with the tackling.
The second spell was following Emmitt and Coopers difference of opinions and the good old fashioned, 'all in' which followed. After this Cas again really had a spell of getting stuck in, whilst the Wires had been un-settled from their game plan. The result coming out of this was of course a few quick scores.
On both occassions the crowd noise, appreciation and enjoyment of what they were seeing seemed to rise and with it, so did players committment to the big tackles.
So lets not knock the value of a hard hitting tackling style of play. Many fans do enjoy seeing good hard solid tackles, just as much as an all out attempt to keep the ball alive looking for any opportunity of a break.
Joking appart, the lads probably just need 10 good lashings with nettles before each game to get them wound up and ready to get stuck in.
