We were in position under the sticks.

Opportunity knocked, Wilkin delivered.

It put the game out of reach. No brainer of a decision for me.

I agree to an extent. I wouldn't go as far as saying it was embarrassing but it did give the ball back to Cas and they scored off the back of it.

You could argue that good game management would be keeping the ball and forcing a drop out.

Had no problem going for the drop goal, but we shouldnt of on the second tackle, chance your arm and go for it if they defended the set.

What was the attendance?

Drop goal was fine, but at that point we relaxed and let them score.

Drop goal was clever, composed play. It's what the NRL's best would do in a similar situation. It wasn't the game to play against the odds.

20-8 up, 5 meters off their line with 5 mins on clock and we drop a goal on 2nd tackle!

We should have tried to score and if not dropped a goal on 5th but to drop a goal on 2nd tackle isn't what I like to see

He was perfectly placed for the drop goal at that time though. Why wait until it is anticipated? Better to do it when it's not anticipated and you're in the perfect position. It was needed as we weren't exactly running away with the game. Good game management by Wilkin there I'd say.

But his kicking was awful and I don't understand the persistence with kicking early in the tackle count. That just wears us out even further. Maybe that's a Cunningham game plan, along with four forwards on the bench and no interchange for an exhausted Roby.

Re: Cas Game : Sat Feb 28, 2015 2:01 am  

The occasional kick early in the tackle count is fine, but we seem to be kicking on the 4th or earlier more often than we should. It's not unexpected anymore.

Can't understand people saying the drop goal wasn't the correct decision.

Also that buffoon on sky who couldn't add up the score and work out it put us the scores clear and killed the game.

I truly hate the sky coverage.

They're bafoons. Watch the game but listen to radio commentary is the way forward

First game I've been to for a while and was expecting Cas to get the backlash from last weekend but we were dire. Overall I thought it was the worst game I've watched for ages and the stadium atmosphere was non-existent. We really really need to improve. Mind you we started off last year like this, winning when playing badly and look where we ended up.

Definitely wins the prize for comedy try with that pass from Carney to Jones.
