Quote: Saddened! "I thought we did well to get through that, but perhaps made it slightly harder than it needed to be. Cas seemed well up for the game, you could tell from their warm up and it's intensity that they weren't there to accept a hammering. They played hard, putting plenty of effort into the tackle and the wrestle to try and throw us off our game. They also attacked well, their shape was superb at times, exposing us and making several clear breaks. Their execution cost them the win ultimately, they bombed a couple of easy chances and put down too much ball in good positions.
Just what on earth were our tactics all about? We had a tough game last weekend when Castleford had the week off. Yet we're kicking on the third every tackle, despite our kicking game being largely awful. Instead of turning them around and trapping them deep, all it meant was the game was turned into a defensive practice session. I just don't get why Saints kept going with the tactics.'"
I was embarrassed with that drop goal. We are 20-8 up with 5 mins to go on the clock and we drop a goal on 2nd tackle!
