However i felt it was always within Cas to beat us, but the game turned when Cas lost the ball backwards and Morrison was tackled off the ball and then Cas got the ball and scored that set.

And your try under the posts in the first half should have been scrubbed off after one of your men obstructed the defenders. Works both ways.

Only just legal, deacon being bent down made sure of that but Shentons arm was close to being an elbow regardless though!!

It put us on the back foot, I was with a lot of Cas fans who were saying the same that without that incident they don't think they'd have won. Sykes needs to work on his kicking though.

Ryan McGoldrick should be banned, squaring up to the linesman and having his fingers pointed at his own eyes and then at the linesmans and mouthing off like he did was disgraceful behaviour.

That's what I posted earlier, that was the turning point of the game and after that it was downhill, I don't mind losing but when a bad decision turns a game it leaves me feeling very bitter

You did exactly the same thing up the other end twice in the first half, once it led to a try.

Great game, really enjoyed it. Shame our composure went out of the window but that's the sort of Cas finish I'm used to so I wasn't in the slightest bit surprised.

Did anyone notice what a monster Feather has turned into? I had to ask some lads in the pub after the game who he was. They showed me the programme and he's put on a shed load of timber and ran it in hard every time. Good luck to the bloke - I hope his string of freakish injuries are behind him.

Anyone have an opinion on the two incidents where Cas players were put on report? From where I was I couldn't really tell what they were for.

I still feel that McNamara is tactically inept and that as much as people on here rattle on about performances and giving the coach time etc etc it won't change what a lot of people can now see. We won't win anything while McNamara remains as head coach

Tactically, what parts of today did you find inept?

I'm not surprised he is doing well, he had some good games for the Bulls. The key for Cas is whether they can keep him off the treatment table, hope they can because he deserves some luck.

Dissappointed, hard not to be. We outplayed Cas for about 60-70 minutes of the game, then we totally blew it and Cas put in 10 minutes of world class performance. Platt had a really good game, looked solid in defence and under the high ball, good in attack aswell. Deacon was bad again, he shouldn't be starting next week. Jeffries looked ok again, but made quite a few errors. TBH I thought our centres looked quite good for a change, I think Sykes plays better when he is given the kicking responsibility. Think Halley should start instead of Sheriffe next week. Thought Langers was pretty poor aswell, but good from most of the pack especially Lynch, Burgess, Scruton and Morro. Newton looked good aswell.

Did you actually go today mate? Langely was in everything. A few daft missed shoulder charges, but other than those he was good.

The tackle was perfectly legal, Shenton never touched his head. Deacon just hit a brick wall

As a Bull I totally agree, it was a hospital pass, the person that shold be getting the blame is the boy who passed it to Deacon.

thats the point that a lot of the armchair fans are missing. whether we're going to improve enough fast enough is another matter

The people that do go will realise that we are definatley NOT improving. We are getting worse as weeks go by.
