Well done to Saints and a big effort from all players who took part in a shattering game. Decent turn-out as well.

Re: Saints v cas news? : Mon Jul 08, 2013 8:42 am  

that forward pass was outrageous - especially considering the ref picked up on the forward passes all game, then missed the worst one.

But credit to Saints, you guys went long periods without being the best team but were ruthless when chances presented themselves.

Cas should've won that game being 16-6 up after 35 and totally dominant - we had far too many brain farts to win the game, and good teams will turn each one into 6 points.

Good luck on making the eight, we will be also-ran bystanders for the remaining six games once again

Well, I've no idea how we lost that one, But I suppose credit has to go to your lads for sticking in during the first half. The Lomax soft try turned the whole momentum of the game, And we came out asleep in the 2nd half, Poor discipline and errors cost us dear.

I feel the best team on the day, Lost. As the first 30 minutes we were totally dominant, But to come away with a comfortable victory is a credit to your lads.

Sounds like saints are no better and cas threw the game away then.
Oh well. Lets prepare to be ripped a new arseole against Wigan, especially with roby out

Your guys deserve credit, But we were dominant early. Your sole try leading up to half time, Was a 3rd tackle play, A chip over to the wing, Perfectly executed - It needed to be, Otherwise it wouldn't have been a try but was - Those things are hard to defend. And then some very sloppy defence let Lomax in just before half time. But Rangi Chase was totally running the show.

The 2nd half, You managed to get closer to him, And we made some shocking errors, And the Intercept try killed the game, Jordan Turner stood Rangi Chase up on play 1 from a scrum. Just really soft efforts, Which are uncharacteristic of late from us.

It was all about attitude, Your guys came out at the start of the game, And looked beat. Played like it, And then it reversed after 10 minutes of the 2nd half.

I think we need more non-Saints fans to add a little positivity to the board.

That's not what the reports are saying in the two RL weeklies and it isn't what the commentators on Wish FM said either.

We were woeful in the first half and Chase was wearing his dinner suit. We were transformed in the second half with Wilkin keeping tabs on Chase and us keeping hold of the ball. Our 17 errors must have been in the first half then.

I always find it helps when we keep hold of the ball.

Reports identify Makinson's interception try as the turning point for us.

How does Richards compare to the likes of Hand and Thompson?

Hand is not good enough to play SL level. Richards and Thompson both have the potential to go very far in our game. probably be playing NRL within 3 years.

Richards is still just 17 years old and was playing prop! Fantastic effort.

I actually went to the game so lets forget WIGAN FM Saints where great. The Castleford team where full of confidence and backed by a partisan crowd really took the game to us. Roby injured and taken off, backs to the wall and they came out fighting. Thompson a young kid pulled himself back from a nightmare opening and Walmsley was immense. Wilko and Wello showed quality leadership and the backline really stepped up in the heat. Well done to both teams and I was proud of the lads.
