The Austin/Sezer thing is a weird one - they're in the same team but they don't seem to play together at all! You seem to get 1 of them doing something, or the other one, never linking up together (from what little I've seen).

As for Widdop, I think he's still got the rugby brain/skills, it's just the enthusiasm that seems to be lacking. Be interesting to know how he fits in with the rest of the Cas squad

This seems harsh to me. His body language has looked good when I've seen them, which is last night and last week in a well-beaten side. Ultimately they have a limited squad: Mellor, Miller and Fonua wouldn't get a game at Featherstone this season.

tough game to watch that one last night... spent alot of time looking at my phone rather than the TV.

I did notice some tremendous defensive work from Widdop though.

Also made a big difference to Cas having Westerman back... at times, he brought the opponent to their knees.

The referee had a decent game last night. According to our friend Saddened, this is due to Paul Wellens emailing the rfl and correcting them, so refs have now upped their game. It's only right that they listen to wellens, he was a superb referee in his playing days.

Saw that post also, wonder why he never said it on here.

I can’t decide whether this is another saucy Westerman joke or a serious analysis of defensive technique.

Good to see Saints getting a rare chance to be on Sky tonight. So enthused about it, me.

Why go for a short drop out with just over a minute left, what a brain fart.
