Correct. Cas seemed to make more yards than us with their forwards seeming to run harder and with a couple of good forwards we'd be a far better side.

Credit where credits due though they toughed it out and in the second half I felt we looked the side more likely to win it although we did have a few heart stopping moments.

Tim Smith had a very good game and showed as I've been saying what a good player he is, particularly if his forwards give him a platform. Hopefully todays performance will do him and the Team a power of good and put some confidence back into the team for next week.

Yes we need a forward or two but i'm not sure its all down to Cas doing it better than us, they swarmed forward to meet us and we stood back and let them come, maybe thats a ploy used by the coaching staff but we did stand off.

That would explain some Cas players struglling later in the game, not saying its the right way to defend but today i think it showed in the end.

I'm sure Isaac John has quality but it needs coaching out a little I think. Paul Sykes certainly didn't let us down today and I think he has been an excellent signing.
Tim Smith had a good game today and I wish he would take the line on more!
A win against London is an absolute MUST to move forward!

He's never really been that kind of player, although I think this will be a huge confidence boost to him and we may see more of his running game.

Ermmm don't get too carried away you do realise cas have the worst side and worst coach since records began? Wakefield are also pretty shocking, but cas just the little worse today, we will both get hammered next week. Oh and I've always said Chase is e

Yeah yeah - whatever.

The resurgence has begun - WTW won't lose another game and we'll nick the GF in a close-fought encounter with Wigan.

ok keep dreaming

Agreed - MOM smith but assisted well by Paul Sykes

Fair point, we did comment on it during the game. We put it down to our forwards not moving up quickly enough on them. Was it a ploy ? Who knows but we certainly looked stronger than them in the second half.

I may well be wrong but we did look stronger in the second half and thats possibly for the reasons i suggested, anyhow it turned out ok in the end.

I've got a double header at Paddy Power for that plus England to win the Euros

Very pleased for Tim Smith, after the stick he's had. Just shows what he can do when he's got something to work with.

Very pleased for Richard Agar, who by his standards made a bold, and by this forum's standards a sensible move, in putting Sykes in for John. Maybe Washbrook and Cockayne would have seen us win by 50 (personally, I wouldn't have tinkered with the original combo till after the game, if we'd lost), but we got the win.

Great effort from all the lads today. I'm a happy camper. It's going to be a good weekend over here.
