| Hughes did well for his try, there was nothing on when he got the ball. He also looked rather hacked off when Mamo dropped his pass!

| I loved that last night.... You could see the players were keen to make an impression after last week.. BMM mentioned last week post match and so did price... There has obviously been alot of discussion amongst the players and staff about putting that right and it showed... The coach made changes and the players stepped up their intensity.
There were some outstanding displays from the pack, who really set the foundation for this win by smashing cas pack to pieces.... Philbin, Cooper, BMM, Hill.... But the stand outs for me were Clark and Westwood... Clark was EVERYWHERE.
Austin again looked like a real threat ..... I love the way he runs at the line and makes those little passes for runners to thunder onto. The BMM try was an obvious example of this. But when you watch him closely, he is always looking for that kind of option... defenders dont know if he is going straight past them, or if the man next to him is. Once the rest of the players get fully switched into his game, we will see what a threat he really is. I'm really excited about him.
Patton was steady... He recovered well from a few terrible kicks to make that superb pass for Mamo's try... I'm hoping an extended run in the team will see him mature and get confidence, which will hopefully mean we begin to see less of the mistakes.
Great to see Curry back as well..... plenty of positives from last night.
Great game.

| What a difference it makes when the ball doesn't keep ending up on the floor. Very good completion rate, four well taken tries and still look strong defensively. Penalty count against us could still be reduced, especially on the last tackle. For Jon Wells to say if both sides play to their potential then Castleford win, showed yet more ill judged bias from him. He should not give opinions were there's a conflict of interest, there's enough sticking their oar in as it is.

I am in no doubt, whatsoever, that RD watched that game last night and thought Patton was the best player on the pitch.

| Quote: ratticusfinch "Indeed regardless of the shape of the opposition our response was much better than that of old. Price has us in excellent shape. We're 4 from 5 and we're nowhere near our potential. We're looking tidy. Just like to say my MOM was Philbin....he was excellent when he came on and if he was wearing a red v he'd be getting pawed to death (he's better than Lees and Knowles).'"
So now you’re comparing a 24 year old prop (with much more experience) to a 21 year old prop and a 22 year old loose forward. Another excellent post which sums up the knowledge of Warrington fans.

It was a really poor game in which Warrington didn’t look a great deal better than a team with about 10 first team players out.

| As a slight aside, I thought pre-match buildup was great last night. I used to be a turn up 5 mins before kick off guy but these days I'm in a good oooh 7 mins before.
Whether you thought the human video board or any other aspect of the gameday presentation was good, bad or you don't care, the club deserve huge credit for putting on a show rather than just a match.
Lots of other clubs, in fact [imost[/i other clubs should take note.

| Hope Bryson's leg hasn't fallen off, the moving of leg from behind then being pulled over by the same player (and assisted by two team mates) was very dangerous.

| My prediction of a 14 point win for Wire was spot on! I thought we started well and looked good for the first 15 or so. Had Mcshane taken in Watts pass it could have been a different game.
Once you scored and came at us a bit more we couldn't cope especially on our right edge. Minikin left Clare stranded a few times and Rankin and Minikins pathetic attempts on Hughes were cringe.
Better team won though. BMM is a huge lad and Daz Clark had his usual busy game against us.
Enjoyed my first visit to the Halliwell Jones stadium. Despite the loss I thought there were some positives for Cas.
Good luck for the rest of the year and enjoy your trip to The Jungle later in the year when you visit.

| Thought you're bench went better than expected, Foster was a handful. Shows in the HT, and FT scorelines, that the reduction in the amount of subs hasn't made scoring points any easier.

| So who were Castleford's ten injured players?
Looking at the website injured from their 1 to 17 were Gayle, McMeekan, Holmes and Milner. In reality you could easily say that two of them would be on the bench behind JSL, Moors and Massey whilst Rankin has been brought in to address Gayle's injury.
Looking at the website it seems to me that Cas do not have a great deal of depth in their squad.

Didn't make any signings in the offseason either.
