Salford turned up for a decent period in the first half, they seemed to make some good yards going forward. I thought that we could have let them make a scrap of it like we have most teams in previous seasons. We blew them away in the last ten minutes of the first 40, leaving them an uphill struggle.

Never mind Salford, i think there will be a few teams who get blown away down the lane this year.

Well done Cas, cheers for ignoring my last post tho, you really shouldn't score so much!

To score 52 and not play that well is the sign of a good team. I thought we were sloppy in the 1st half and Salford played some good rugby. 2nd half we were alot better and scored some good tries. Pleasing aswell that we have kept our 100% home record intact. Special mentions to Emmitt (great signing) and Dixon who i thought were very good for us today, as was Chase. He was fantastic.

Credit too for Danny Orr,who directs and organises things to let Rangi run wild

Agree 100% with that and the subsequent posting about Danny Orr...is there a better balanced halfback pairing anywhere at the moment? I've seen some great stand-offs at Cas in my time - including Millward and Hardisty - but Chase's performance yesterday was as good as anything I've witnessed.

Chase was pure class on the field yesterday - brilliance personified.

The team performance in the 15 minutes before half-time was enthralling - attacking rugby as good as I've ever seen, from any team.

Well played Cas, you certainly showed us how a team can play, thoroughly deserved win although we didn't make you work too hard for it at times. You out played and more importantly out enthused our sad bunch for the 80 minutes.

Well played and congrats on being top of the table, it's great to see an "un-fancied / unfashionable" (as a number of us are looked upon :ROLL: ) team up there fighting it out.

A mention for Rangi Chase, what a player he is, I knew he was your main threat but boy he's special.

All the best for the rest of the season (baring the 17th June

)

By the way I was a little surprised to hear the crowd figure at the game, it certainly looked bigger than below 6,500 to me.

Been going down the lane for 20 years no way was there only 6,500 IMO thinking more like 7,500

Seemed right to me. Everyone was spaced out so it looked more.

That's because it was 6741




Thanks for the kind words. Hope things improve for you and yours this season!

I just hope Rangi doesn't get injured this season.
