| Does it even matter how many points you beat teams by? I'd actually say having too many one sided contests are what ultimately cost Warrington in 2011 and Cas in 2017. If you look at Warrington's results in 2011 they hadn't had a real close score line since June when they then faced Leeds in the playoff SF, compared to Leeds who were in close battles most weeks then it was obvious who'd be better prepared for a close contest.
Winning comfortably most weeks would be good for the heart as a fan but it probably won't help you come crunch time when you're almost guaranteed close tight games.

I think you could be right with this.

Disagree.
We won our tight game in the semi final vs Saints. Couldn't get any closer.
We were then hammered by Leeds in a one sided game. So not being used to close games didn't cost us at all.

Cas started to get close games when the Super 8's started, the "Usual Suspects" started to up there game at this business end of the season. Most of the games got tougher, teams went up a notch but Cas couldn't get that extra notch for the finale.

You collapsed in the final 15 minutes with the pressure on and blew your lead, only won because Percival had a 'mare with the boot and Morgan gave away a needless pen. You didn't so much win it as Saints threw it away.

Do what you want fella, whatever makes you and the other Saints fans sleep at night.

Disagree again. We played strong for 65 minutes. Everyone has a poor patch. Ours was just at the end.
Yeh Percival had a mare with the boot but had he kicked 2 more. It would of tied the game up at 22 all with 5 mins left.... Meaning the game changes and who knows if Saints or Cas go on to win.

You didn't play well for 65 mins. Saints were better in the 1st half and deservedly lead at HT and the Cas players and fans were rattled with the latter easily worked up at the ref for no good reason. You had a good 20 min spell 2nd half and that was it.

The game we played in the first half kept us in the game. Meaning we played well. Not great but well.... We hammered most teams in 20 minute spells last year. Its how we played most games.
The fact here is we won a close game..... We lost a game which wasn't close. So the comment which said winning so many games by a big lead cost Cas is wrong.

| We won plenty of close games last year too. Widnes at home which we were losing in the second half.
Wakey with a late drop goal
Catalan away we were losing at half time
Huddersfield away we were 6 down at half time
Leeds away it was 8-6 at half time
These games are all from June to the end of the super 8s.
Plenty of close games.
Hull we beat by 2 points

| Bump . Not for those who criticised his interview but for those who criticised his coaching and he's been found out and under pressure. Suck on that.

Well done on winning a game. Come back when he’s actually won anything of note

| All in good time king d1ck.
No other coach would have Cas consistently competing in and around the top 4. I'm not sure many other coaches could have orchestrated a result like that last night either under the circumstances.

"It's the refs fault again". Biggest moaning whingers in RL.: |
|
| I see some of the arrogance we saw from Cas fans last season (until their hilarious 'efforts' at Old Trafford) is slowly starting to resurface.
