They looked up for it until Cas scored.

Same old story, heads dropped. Came back to life for spells in the second half, but we can't play well in patches and expect to win. We're not full of internationals like some teams, if we want to win we need an 80 minute performance, which I think we've only seen a couple of times this season.

I think Cummins usually speaks a lot of sense and I think he's doing a pretty decent job under the circumstances.

Not a great performance today, the defensive frailties that we've struggled with for most of the year were back. Chase had too much pace and run Addy and few others ragged at times. I suspected we might see a drop in intensity though after the play offs were out of reach for anyone living on planet earth. Probably not intentional but I guess after a long season we have some tired bodies in that squad.

It was an entertaining game if not high quality and the chat with Cas fans during the game added to what is usually a decent afternoon out at Wheldon road. Castleford deserved their victory today though.

If you want to see 'heads dropping' I guess that's what you'll see. To be honest, I certainly didn't see any until, I think when Cas hit 40, and that was more frustration than heads dropping. At the end of the day we were undone by Rangi Chase and he's been doing it nearly all season to better sides than us. What is disappointing is maybe that we didn't do what most sides have done against Cas and score more against them than they did against us.

You can't honestly say we played with the same purpose and intensity as we did against Catalans for the majority of last week though.

I thought there was plenty of effort - not always very well directed, to be fair but no-one was taking it easy or anything like that, and for sure, I think the result mattered to the team, the frustration at the end was palpable.

I think the Catalans game was a totally different match to be honest, where both sides defended pretty well and points were at a premium, whereas at Cas both teams seemed to think they'd simply outscore the other. I'm pretty sure that's not what was actually in anyone's head but it sort of looked like it at times
