don't forget that cas are missing 2 of their star players in Carney and Shenton so just remember that should we win, it's because they're missing players!

he might be one of the leaders, but we have just about struggled through without him haven't we? so not really needed in the department.
he can win us games when on form, unfortunately he hasn't been on form this season and we've won plenty of games without him, again, not needed.
we don't need him back, but his experience and presence could be a boost to us, whether he plays or not, like i said, personally i wouldn't bring him back for the sake of it.

Not sure if I read it on here or not..... is there an applause for Eorl in the 8th minute today?

eorl has given out a retweet about it today on twitter, not heard anything otherwise but looks like something is trying to be done for it

aye but also dont forget they have dorn and solomona to come back in! not two bad players to have in reserve

all the talk will be about cas and carney.

we can go under the radar again its fine

Only problem is we always stay under the radar but for it to be worth it you have to appear above it and show you have something about you year in year out players pipe up saying we are ready to do this, we are going to do that etc but alas that is all it ever is...talk.

On another note 33-1 Eorl Sky MOM has got to be worth a shot he would be very short odds to get the sponsors MOM and hopefully Stevo will be equally sentimental and go with him.

good shout about crabtree!

Gone for it too.

Well lots of lapses in concentration against a good side could have cost us

But no way could they stop Jerry or Leroy who was on a mission tonight

They certainly was on a mission. A game where our halves were under the radar.
I was very impressed with Wardle, Robbo and Grix last night too and I thought the Connor try was one of the best I've seen us score.

We never really looked like we wanted to do the hard work in the second half. We looked disjointed at times in the first. Week off or not... Leeds and Wigan would of punished us and the game could of been lost.

I can't see beyond us getting to the semi final now. Win our next 5 games and we are champions. 4 games and we are in the final.

It was encouraging to see them muscle up after the loose period where Cas got within 4 points. They need to improve to have a chance of making/winning the GF but they got the competition points.

Eorl, robbo, wardle and Jerry were fantastic last night.
Taai and Bruno very solid defensively. Taai put a real defensive shift in for his first stint. Leroy made two poor reads one where he should have gone for the gap instead of the high kick, the other for the missed tackle on Solomona at the end-no doubt those will be what certain people will focus on- other than that he had a great game and Cas struggled to contain him.
We are still conceding too many on the edges though.

I'm somehow disappointed with the performance. We played very well in patches but let in some very soft tries. We got the two points and won by Three tries- but somehow it felt closer. Scored 8 tries- and it could have been at least 10- BUT We cannot be conceding 5 tries in a game- imagine what Leeds or Wigan would have done to us!!!

That Connor try should be try of the month! Even Anderson got to his feet and clapped- may have even been the hint of a smile too!!!!!

Well, thats us just about out of it now. Enjoyed the game, I still don't know what else you guys have to do to get the support that the team deserves. Good luck with the rest of the season, and if we don't make it to the 4 (very unlikely we will obviously) I'll be shouting for you in the semis. Hope you can go all the way and put a different name on that SL trophy.

This made me smile - not sure if it's ironic or done tongue in cheek!

I thought a lot of our players were very good in patches last night.

Jerry was awesome as always and I think Koppy had his best game for a long time.

Wardle looked more at home in the centre too, but there were lapses in concentration from a lot of players that would cost us in a SF.

I'm still undecided about Huby though. In my eyes, he needs to play more like a prop and not a half. He wasn't missed when he went off. Taai on the otherhand...

I disagree about Huby. The vision and pass for Ta'ai was class. He carries the ball in 2 hands which delays defenders and get him extra yards and he has a decent offload every now and again. More importantly at the moment we have 3 really strong props and Smith is improving and is becoming more well rounded, so we are maintaining our intensity throughout.

Nice to see cas remember their kit last night, although they did forget their flag!!!
