From a Cas point of view:
In my opinion, Cas didn't deserve the win. Rileys try was a result of shocking positional defending. Everyone knows that Briers is a master of the intercept - throwing loose, blind passes is just asking for trouble, even if he is offside. And Myler's try came from a Cas error in our own quarter.

However, I do believe there should be concerns regarding the standard of the referee. Carvell's lead with the elbow into Jackson's jaw was particularly nasty, as was Morley's late, high tackle. No action was taken on either incident. In addition, rather pedantic infringements seemed to be peanalised at random (ie Hudson's contact of the defender which happened regularly, and the offside from the restart, which happened every time).

However, poor decisions went each way. McGoldrick clearly knocked-on when he got in a right mess with a kick early in the second half, and there was no inteference on Westerman for the Cas penalty at the end of the 1st half.

However, a game which Cas didn't deserve to win and probably a fair result.

Agree with nottinghamtiger, your lot just had that bit extra.

Hope the standard of reffing starts to improve this season though!.

Best of luck for this season,good to see sides like yourself starting to challenge the usual suspects for honours!

Thaler was really good last week but last night was terrible.
What was needed on about 15 minutes was the captains calling and a severe warning about ruck infringements. Would have made the game go a lot smoother imo, common sense

Why, I think it's fair to say that when you are losing 10-0 that you struggled, at least somewhat.

And it is easy to say the opposition is poor for both teams. Wigan and Warrington both played the worst two teams (imo, maybe Salford were worse but I didn't see them) in round one and won comfortably (moreso for the Wolves), and both teams won against an "underperforming" opposition in round two. Personally I will be fine if every team conveniantly underperforms against Wigan and I'm sure Wire will be too, it is nothing to do with good defence is it?



Looking forward to seeing the result next week, gutted to be missing it, despite neither team being in good form if you listen to the other side

was very impressed with our turnout yesterday. thought we travelled in good numbers and made alot of noise.

Both teams had shocking decisons for and against and it came
down to whoever capitalised on the mistakes, thankfully it was us, Wire of old probably would of lost that game but thankfully we won as briers has a quick thinking scrum-half working with him who has the pace to get to the try line for those types of try we see the likes of Danny Maguire score each week..

At the end of the day we grounded out a result and if we want to finish as high as possible these are the types of games we need to be winning and sometimes in that kind of fashion as it will bring a better performance

and who have you beat? Two teams that together over the past 3 seasons average 10th place. Impressive.

Glad your impressed

oh yeah
