Don't be a condescending twit. Both your stats are overall, not the start of games, which is my point. Merely that we seem to make the start of every game hard for ourselves. Do you dispute that?

As for this second half, that proves my point, chalk and cheese to the first half. If you look at the stats for each opening 15 mins, I'm sure your stats will tally up, but they don't tell you the full story.

must have been a great half time talk by Peet.

That one by the corner flag where he and Marshall held up the Cas player (Trueman?)?

Looked a try for all money, top effort. French looked like he was really enjoying himself out there.

I was watching it in a busy pub so didn’t have the best of watches but from what I did see I thought Bibby had a good game.

I thought the pass from French was forward that was called forward and it looked like the pass by Faz (I think) to Miski for his try was forward.

Has all the hallmarks of a Challenge Cup hangover performance up until the sin binning and then we woke up.

Field started to find his way in the game as it went on will be interesting to see if he gets more time there moving forward.

Disappointed with French’s tackle attempt for the second try I think it was.

As others have said bench changed the game which is exactly what you need them to do. Mago in particular had a great impact.

The shapes we are running and the trust the players have for each other is clear to see when players are throwing passes into spaces without looking but having faith in the systems they work on, on the training pitch.

Slow start, which was to be expected in this instance, but the 2nd half was all class. Showed real desire and application to register 32 unanswered points! Smith controlled the performance. He was very vocal for a young half and it's clear he's found his feet within the team. Seemed to be calling all the shots. French showed how good he can be at fullback. He chimes into the line as well as any fullback out there and could have set Marshall up with a hat trick of try assists had it not been for the (slightly) forward pass. Forwards just excellent. Got on top of the Cas pack in that 2nd half and were making metres for fun as the stats show.

Hard to pick standouts as everyone was good in that 2nd half. Not a weak performance among them. Perhaps the 'fringe' players who haven't been getting much game time should take the plaudits as they, to a man, slotted in seamlessly.

That no-look pass to Marshall= CLASS
