| yeh not the complete performance and there were lapses on our part but we got the two points against a very spirited team, looks like we will be playing in the semis now which is brilliant
mcgillvary and cudjoe terrorised them lastnight, murphy and connor didnt want to be out done and werent far behind, little bit worried about connor in defence though, need to tighten up if we are to reach the grand final
entertaining game lastnight!
pleased for eorl too getting a try on his 400th appearance for us

| I am from Donny, but for some reason I have a soft spot for Huddersfield.
I love to watch them on Sky and always want them to win.
Even if they were playing Leeds who I also love to watch.
I thought that they showed the kind of slackness at times that will stop them beating the likes of Wigan and Co when push comes to shove.
Connor despite his go forward and good try was made to look a pudding in defence for two of the Cas tries.
He stood there like Mr Blobby in the line, like a fat guy who couldn't move or react.
Work in progress there.
Leroy despite his sublime offloads could do so much more in attack if he just believed and went for it.
And so on ... nitpicking I know, but I want them to be ruthless and win the thing!

I think it was around the 65th minute, Connor was taken off and Wardle moved to centre and Ta'ai inside him in 2nd row. This had an immediate difference as Wardle scored but it looked to also shore up that left hand defence. It would suggest that Baloo had the same opinion as yourself!

| some good individual performances last night, our edge attack was very good i thought.
had our usual sloppy spell just after half time, but we were always in control once cas lost control after going 10-0 up.
people complaining we aren't playing well, but no team plays well every game for 80 minutes,to me ,we are showing our credentials but not letting our poor spells affect us too much and still have enough to finish games, as we showed last night.

An interesting game, some slick and sublime passing and extremely good tries, coupled with some abysmal lapses in defence.
As some on here have said, not good enough to beat the so called big sides but we weren't playing them last night. It was entertaining stuff and I would much sooner we won 40-26 than 14 - 0.
The lapses in defence weren't really what we have been doing, so not necessarily too much to worry about, The great thing for me was we showed a bit of class in the attack, when the crowd are jumping to their feet ,you know you are doing something right. Onward and upwards.

| Yep, we seem to switch off in defence quite a bit, which is fine if we're scoring more points than they are.
but at this stage of the season when winning is what counts, i would take five 1-0 wins!

Not absolutely but I'd say so even if we lose all the rest as cas have to make up
150 points difference. If cas win then we could still drop out if we lose all 3.

mathematically it's still possible that the semi finalists will change but will need a dramatic change in fortunes from 2 sides not to mention a huge points swing.
does every minute still matter then with 3 games to go?

| Looks like every minute mattered up to the last 3 games, which is better than previous seasons and structures. In the end looks like the top 4 and certainly the top 2 were much better than fifth and below.
At the ground on Thursday we were thinking back to our first 3 games and that dull game when hull nilled us. And then the Salford defeat - chase on ferres - defeat.
Come a long way since then. And still think we haven't played our best for more than 60 minutes in any game. Hopefully we saving that for our fourth and fifth games.

| correct, and as me an many others said to the knee jerkers and the anderson out brigade, see where we are at the end of the season, not after 3 games.
we still haven't played particularly well in most of the games, but we are finding ways to win, when earlier in the season we were finding ways to lose! wigan,leeds,and saints away to name just 3.and at this stage of the season you have to win games
saying that though apart from the Hull and leeds cup games we haven't had many shockers either
