Turning point of the game. Nothing like giving the opposition a lift with a balls up like that.

P.S Thormans defence, and ability to slide is awful

Thought Manu did absolutely nothing to help him all night. Manu kept missing the tackle leaving Thorman 1 on 1 with the runner twice his size.

I don't think any of the players could be described as outstanding or fantastic.

It was a very disappointing, error strewn display by Hull. Cas were the better team and looked much more threatening. It was a deserved win for them.

It's all about how we bounce back from the defeat - that will show us how good a team we are.

From my point of view that is exactly how I'm feeling and how I see it

Just dreading the hammer I'm going to get off the legion of Cas fans at work in the morning

People keep going on about Hulls error strewn game, but if Cas hadnt made so many errors in our 20 in the first half they may well have been out of sight by half time. The difference is we went on to continue making them in the second, where as they cut them out and had more gas left as a result.

We scored more tries than Cas but the difference between the sides in the end was down to errors. We gave Cas too much ball in bad positions, Cas are a bloody good team and took advantage of it, simple as. We'll see how good we are next week at Quins and how we react to this defeat.

It will serve us better, sometimes a loss can make you better. It was just one of those nights which things didn't happen, we tried too much and coughed up possesion at valuable times and in valuable places.

Credit to Cas who was just alot smarter on the night.

i said jokingly before the match to a friend i could see us and leeds both losing tonight and saints going top reminded me of the warrington match last season, we played poor, they played poor, we got in front doing all the hardwork then made stupid mistakes to let them back in.

hopefully next week at harlequins we will get back on winning ways, even if it meant playing a safe basic game of rugby, as long as we win
