Yup, downside of a young squad is that they don't settle well. It will improve, next year you'll have the same skill/pace but on wiser shoulders - frightening stuff for the rest of us.

Up until the last 20 I thought you'd done enough, Huddersfield were starting to panic - but then they started roughing you up big time and you reacted and lost your heads a bit. I think you lost it rather than them winning it. Once Huddersfield realised that the ball back inside wasn't going to open you up like a kipper (or Trinity last week!) they seemed a bit clueless.

I think you'll be a better team for it, probably not this season but certainly next. Anyway, hard luck - and thanks for making it an entertaining game.

did you watch the game i thought all those chances we blew were outside on the Wings ie Aspinwall and Hodgson. Never mind you stick with your stereotypes and comments you pick up on threads without understanding them.

Yep, you blew them on the wings - - you were trying that 'cos you couldn't get up the middle! Don't know what you beef is about 'stereotypes', your strength is in your pack and Cas's is in their open play - facts, not dogma. Nowt to be ashamed of, it's just that when you play it wide you come up with more errors cos that is not your strength - and watching a good pack in action is every bit as entertaining as watching a nippy winger IMO.

Don't be so sensitive - there's only one team I dislike and it ain't Huddersfield or Cas!!

No contradiction whatsoever. Defence was excellent - the gradual loss of control over the collision was due to Huddersfield's extra energy. They were fresher because they didn't have to work as hard when we were in possession, ergo our attack (lacking direction, penetration and composure) lost us the game not, as you said, our defence. Cause and effect. Your analysis isn't far off (apart from the massively presumptious psychological assessment about lacking faith) but the conclusion still seems incorrect to me.
