Never seen a coach that emotional. Shows how much it means to him also. Its all very hard to take, best off aying nothing tonight other than congratulations to Saints.

Commiserations, that's a body blow of a way to lose a match, but you helped produce an absolutely enthralling match, a wonderful advert for the game and something I hope will attract lots of new fans to the game because that was awesome drama.

We don't know that the call came from Hardaker to kick, but at the end of the day, that game was won by fine margins.

Still, it feels harsh to lose by such a fine margin. I don't expect to get a positive response, but was French not taken out off the ball?

Robbed never a high shot.

Thought that myself

Beat me to it...never a penalty. Not bitter in the slightest, but Saints really didn’t deserve that. If Fages doesn’t give JH a slap and has a paddy nothing happens there...touch judge jumped in to give it after Kendall originally called no penalty.

Wonder if he knew he’d Ballsed up and sent the wrong call to kick for 2
Pathetic decision which has lost us the game.

Actually it was an Amateur decision.

C’mon guys we lost, let’s not start looking for excuses. We had more than enough chances to win the game but didn’t take them. Credit to both teams that was a fantastic game of rugby league.

Zak won Cas two games with penalties from our own half.
One very similar away at Catalans with a minute or so to go.
He can make the distance, but just didn’t this time.

Just another big game lost when all is said and done. Played our part and the rate of improvement has taken us to a chance of keeping us in with a shout in the future. We just lack something to get us over that line like the Noble years.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing. Did I expect him to make the kick?no. Would I have fancied one of our team to kick a drop goal with loads of pressure?no. I think the right decision was probably made. Fans would have moaned had we kicked in the corner and lost. It was so unlucky, French had a bit of a mare at the end but Hardaker hitting the bar and Hastings being harshly penalised made the difference.
The match itself was great, our defence was amazing, we should be up there next season.

Beyond gutted but what a game, congrats to Saints
