It's amazing how it off form sarginson is, to be honest. I thought it was a great signing for you guys when he came back but, obviously not, yet.

Yeah I'd assumed that it is more of a defensive move having Bateman there against us which makes sense I guess. As a cas fan it's kinda outweighed by you maybe losing a little of his running at second row in attack.

The last few times we've played you guys he's generally been more of a handful than farrell.

Was really impressed with Isa last week. Probably the best game I've seen him have for you - he generally goes a bit unnoticed, a bit like Matt Cook for us.

Can't really pick a favourite for tonight. We have had a bit of a soft belly this year, just picking points up without being particularly convincing.

I think Bateman has grown into the centre role personally. It may not be his favourite (or best) position, but he looks more at home there now for me.

A shocker?
He dropped one pass, made more metres than either Watkins or Handley and only missed one tackle. He wasn't outstanding but he certainly wasn't poor.

Much better tonight. Far more expansive and trying to play.

Imagine what we could do with an actual 6 & 7?

Oh bugger me, George has turned up, with a try

Credit where it’s due we have played very well tonight. Efficient is the word I’d choose to describe it. It’s evident Budgie has lost a yard of pace though!

Better. Much, much better.

How good was Sam. Such a shame he’s off, after performances like that tonight (and last week)

Got chased down well by Cas defenders on both runs. That pass to Gildart was worth the entry fee alone.

Did anyone see him chucking his muck up after his first run. Half his lunch came out. It’s getting to be a regular thing with him now, is it exhaustion or something else?

True but he seems bigger than when he first came into the team.
Would the skinny flyer Burgess have been able to put Webster into next week ?

His breaks were pure class and as I said on another thread, reminded me of Gary Connolly! I’m sure there’s a great centre in him somewhere!!

Maybe, but we haven't seen it so far. Great win, though.
