really thought we would win to day.guess i was wrong.

How eloquent



He's a troll, a few hundred from Cas there today.

Bless

About 250-300, not many.

Thought you where weak around the ruck today, plus losing Orr didn't help.

Enjoyed the game though, it would seem half of the Cas fans that were there were non too impressed at the final whistle, which surprised me as the fans seemed positive until the end, singing throughout then switched at the final whistle.

The problem is Yed that people have preconceived ideas of the standard of London base on the fact they have lost all their previous games including a towelling at the hands of Salford. As such any defeat to them will be perceived by Cas fans as a poor showing and to get beaten by that margin looks shambolic.

I wasn't at the game and only listened to it on Yorkshire radio which is likely to be a bit biased (though nowhere near as much as Radio Leeds is!) and can only go on their comments. They indicated that the score was a little tough on Cas and that London will beat plenty of sides playing like that. Of course, having not seen the game myself I don't know how much of that is true. But one comment they made that I would agree with is that on paper London have a pretty good side. Before the season began I had them as anywhere between about 6th & 12th but based on their early season results it looked more like they would be battling with Widnes to avoid the wooden spoon.

On the basis of todays result you can make a case for the battle for bottom place being between Cas & Widnes rather than London

1st half was 50-50 both teams equally as poor as each other,

2nd half Cas came out the blocks first 10-15 mins thought they would come back, then rest of the game just seemed to be London, last 15 minutes Cas looked knackered and London found plenty of easy yards from dummy half and the forwards running through the ruck, Witt also seemed to be finding holes.

Crikey - that has to be the easiest and most emphatic bite Lister has ever had.

250-300 there at the final whistle perhaps, would have pegged the number at 500-600 myself.

It's a very lonely place the Stoop, I'm not entirely sure where the 2000 announced London fans were, because they weren't in the stands.

100% accurate.

Cas mistakes in the first half were chronic. Completion rate must have been around 20%. We made lots of breaks but they were never supported. The game was always going to be won by the team that took their chances - that was London, by a distance.

Relegation battle for Cas this season ?

Here I was thinking this thread could be interesting, only to find the same old predictable analysis and debate.
Then along you came...charming, succinct, well articulated and highly intellectual to boot. Congratulations Dave on a most entertaining post.
