Thought Tickle and Kent we're just being given more time to recover ops they've both had.

Just what I expected from a first run out Cas look a better team when Chase wasn't on the pitch.When he is on all play goes through him.Hull played on top of him and stopped Cas go forwards and that was only the youngsters who went in at halftime 10 - 6 up.You could see the difference in the second half with the first team players on the pitch.I will not have ago at players.The two Hull play makers had different teams to lead around the park both did the job Next week game will tell us more

Holdsworth was the least impressive. It seems to me that Seymour has been quietly getting on with things while Holdsworth has been too busy talking to the media... I'd start with Seymour/Heremaia next week.

No disrespect, but I doubt that.

I recon predominantly, it will be Holdsworth and Seymour/(Horne covering injuries) with Heremia/Houghton on the bench at 9 were he plays best.
We cannot rely on Heremia being mainly in the halves, and leaving Houghton to do the 80, or if Houghton gets injured, then we have to use Heremia at 9

thats your opinion, but i think its rather academic as Holdsworth in all but nailed on and the real question is who will partner him

Agreed, but as gentle has said no one is safe and form come first. Holdsworth was not only our worst half today he was ineffective and largely poor. Only his first game but on form alone he wouldn't be in my 13 next week.

Couldn't make the game, but heard some good reviews from those who did. Glad we came out with the win, some good game time and virtually injury free.

Heard Azza had a great 2nd half, Arundel/Crookes look solid and Seymour did a great long kick in the first. Sounds like our kicking game is something we have worked.

first run out of the season, result un-important, was more impressed how our younger squad members more than held their own against a very strong cas starting line up

Agreed that's what I've taken from today, the overall strength of our squad. Plenty of depth.

Having watched the display of both halves today, I Think we could have a good shot this year.

Even though the opposition was only castleford, i think we we defended well each half and the kids looked impressive aswel.

Everyonr talking about holdsworth and slagging the team off, get a grip. its the first game all year

I'm another who didn't think Seymour played badly. A good kick for the try, and a magic piece of ball handling on halfway that the youngster then spilled. Not seeing what Heremaia did that was [iso[/i good, either TBH. Got his hands on the ball and involved a lot, but not that much quality work with it, particularly passing/kicking wise (he was attributed the pass to Westerman earlier, am I the only one who thought it was Houghton?). He's still not a halfback IMO, he's a hooker who plays with enthusiasm, much like Obst was.

Seems to me that one player's face doesn't fit and another's does, so similar levels of performance are received very differently. Both played fairly well, no more, no less. Add in that Seymour had the tougher job than Heremaia today and I think it's time to get off his back for a bit and see what he can do.

Thought Green and Cunningham stood out first half and Seymour did well. Second half Ogre and Azzer the standouts and Mcdonnell looked good.

At this stage I think Azzer and Holdsworth will be the halves against Leeds.

Must also say Bowden also.. After he got big hit i think it gave him more confidence and gave alot back. Possibly another moa in year/2

I'm not a Seymour hater but comparing him to Heremia today, Azza ran at the defence and through gaps,Seymour didn't. Seymour put a good kick in for the try but Azza put one in too to get a repeat set, something we don't get enough of. I'm not sure Azza is the answer at half either but he showed me more than Seymour based on todays performance.

I was pretty sure Houghton put Westie in.
