I thought you were really good today, seemed to have seem real grunt and fight, and the physicality of all teams seems to have increased this year.

Although the best team won on the day, I was really impressed by Cas, and I wouldn't fancy facing Webster and Carney on a dry pitch. Both massive men, and Carney had some pace when he got in open space.

Apart from the top four clubs (I'm not sure I include Saints in that), I don't think there is much between an awful lot of teams.

Great to see Cas give it all in their cup final one week and get flogged by an average Bulls team the next! Still a disgrace.

I actually thought you were signifantly better, the play-the-ball was much faster and caused us problems all game. I think it is down to this that the Cas players lost their discipline, they could not cope with the speed of Bradford in posession.
Chase would have made a difference but he deserved not to be playing.

can i ask one question was you at the game or are you a tv supporter

If I was a Cas fan, I'd be questioning the players fitness.

At about the 55 minute mark most of the Cas team looked out on their feet. There was a point where Cas were in possession at that time and half the side were still walking back from behind the Bulls defence for 2 tackles.

Cas feeling sorry for themselves?

Surely not

No, the better team won.

Must be awful for you though coming on here fishing for bites when around ten/fifteen years ago you would have been exchanging views with fans who's sides were right at the top of the table.

Good response and you are probably right

Bet you wasn't expecting that

It was not the reason we lost the game, Bradford's speed playing the ball kept us on the back foot throughout and caused our indiscipline. I am also disappointed in Millward's post-match comments, for the first time this year we didn't show any kind of backbone once things got tough.

To me the toughness was lacking from the start, if not the effort. Cas players should have steamed in when Scruton flattened O'Brien, whether ultimately it is proved late or not. It would have focussed attention on the tackle much more & given a message to the Bulls players about the consequences.

The physicality of the Cas performance has certainly gone up a few notches this year - we need a bit more flair in attack. When Chase is back we will be a different team to the one we saw last night.
