Thanks to everyone who kept us upto date!!
Don't really do friendlies, but the team will take great heart from this result.
It should keep our dear neighbours quiet for a bit, although they will be quick to remind us it was just a friendly I'm sure.
Probably the same ones who were bigging up their win over Shudds last week!!!
Well done Trin!!

Don't mention them otherwise we will be "obsessed".

Excellent result, poor attendance though- I saw on another thread that we had sold 5000 tickets, perhaps they are season tickets!

Hope we came through unscathed.

What a performance!

Destroyed cas bar the 2 trys at end. Could have had a couple more with luck.

All players looked fit and ready for SL.

I was incredibly surprised how unfit and poor some of the cas ranks were.

T.Smith gave rangi a master class, passing was very sharp indeed. John showed good touches.

Very accomplished all round really.

After losing 36-18 to KR they may want him back!!!!
Just short of 14,000 there, amazing attendence for a "friendly" Rovers I'm sure, took at least 20,000!!!

great performance today, crowd was more than 2200 though imo

I thought crowd looked bigger than 2,200.

Just in from the game, regardless of it being a friendly, you have to say with a completely new line up that was some performance. Combinations worked well, passing was crisp and quick, kicking game decent, backing up excellent and forwards drove it in well and made good yards. Dangerous out wide, half backs looked busy and interested, it all bodes well for the season ahead. Defence needs to tighten up a little I feel but on the whole I am very satisfied, was entertained and very much looking forward to rustling quite a few feathers. Washbrook given MOM, can't argue with that but honourable mentions to Aiton and Lauitiiti and young Trout caught my eye too. But really the whole team deserve a mention and that's the key for me, we looked like a team for the first time in a long time. Long may it continue.

Some really good stuff today, Amor and Southern excellent and Aiton very lively at acting half
Kick chase was superb all afternoon. Certainly more than 2200 there.

I wonder why I Can't smell any Cas fans around here at the moment ? The silence is deafening.

Smith played well for my money.... He's stepping up to the plate.
Good on him.

Superb performance from our lads - dominated Cas in every department; before they start bleating about forwards by the way, remember that we were missing Wilkes and Raleigh.

Did anyone spot Rangi today? I though he got shown up by Isaac John.

Cas fan last week "we beat huddersfield with first teamers out, doesn't matter if it's only a friendly"

Cas fan tonight "don't worry it's only a friendly"

Not just about the win and the amount we put past cas's first team, it was the manner of which we played, as different as we possibly could be over last season and we aint been that good since we had broughy on board.
Defensively I was very impressed, the amount of times we had 3 in the tackle with one round the legs to stop them making yards was incredible, also the creativeness and speed at which we were playing at was very refreshing to see, Aiton/John/Smith & trout were very impressive, Amor picking up where he left off last season with Kirmond looking like his double, then Mathers rubbing in some salt to cas's wounds was great with Washbrook deservedly picking up MOM all this with Frankie, Wilkes and Rayleigh to come in
I'm sure the cas massive will have plenty to say about mr allybellend but for me he had a pretty good game apart from missing a blatant knock on and the fact he warned cas about the high tackles and did nothing about stopping them doing more by sending someone off
