I was thinking about the kicking game. At the end of nearly every Saints set they forced Cas. to play out from deep in their own half, whilst Cas rarely managed decent last tackle kicks. That all meant Cas. were rarely attacking the Saints line and had to rely on scoring from deep. Added to that all the work their forwards had to get through to move back down field left them pretty ragged by the second half. So I think this was a major factor in the game.

Yeah, this. We were shouting at the telly each time they got near to the posts in the last ten minutes of the first half, going two scores ahead would've changed the entire psychology of the half time team talks, with Saints likely beginning to consider the day becoming a rerun of their 2019 nightmare.

As it stands we had to endure seeing the walking corpse eamonn mcmANUS creeping around the pitch like an unwanted pervy uncle at a family do, in a plastic hat. No letters to the RFL. this year, I take it?

Lol could you be any more bitter.

Utter cringe

Everybody was looking in stunned silence at this 5-6 year old girl that was stamping her feet and screaming at the top of her voice. She was clutching an empty cone in her hand whilst a golden labrador happily licked up the ice cream ball at her feet.

What's bitter about my post? It's a fact that your chairman is a creepy old harbinger of souls! The better team won, but that doesn't change the fact.

Another consideration is that I don't really see any stars in that cas side. Compared to our starting 13 with Ratch, King, Widdop, Clark, Currie, I couldn't identify anyone who was gonna pop up and change that game yesterday. I don't even rate our two new signings. Maybe it's because they're a team, not a collective of individuals, but on the big stage you need someone to stand up and direct the game, and they didn't have anyone of that ilk.

We don't either...we are barren of leadership. We have Daryl Clark and that's it. Although that's where Cas started off when Powell took charge there.
