hi all, i am a wildcats fan but was taken to the game today as a birthday treat by my cas supporting sons. i have to say as a neutral 99.9% of your fans today were fantastic and a credit to the game. it was a great atmosphere outside the ground in the boot room with both sets of fans mingling and exchanging good natured banter. we stood in the family enclosure and after the incident with owen behind the posts he was told by the match officials to go to the cheif steward who was stood only 5 yards from us. owen was pointing to his fore head but we couldn't see any cut because his hand was in the way but you could see blood dripping down onto his shirt. the first thing i looked for at the start of the 2nd half was if owen had a dressing on his head but he didn't so the damage must have been minor. i have always admired the hull fans for their away support even in the bad times but i urge you to identify the minority that are giving your club a bad name. all the best for the future as i think you are yorkshires best chance of challenging the top lancashire sides in the next few years.

i thought seymour did ok, scored a good try and put some good shots in defence. saved one certain try in the second half

I thought we were a bit scratchy, first half poor and second half better. Cas to be fair played with lots of enthusiasm and agression and made it really tough. Defensively we were off and in attack we tried to play too much rugby early without winning the middle of the pitch.

Nice to score 42 points away from without really clicking but disappointing to concede 28.

Sharp, Turner, Manu and Tickle were all excellent and Bowden had has best game yet.

Good summary that Paul totally agree. I think it was also notable around all the games played yesterday that lots of points were scored, I think it was to do with the conditions. It was the 1st Sunday this year were the sun was out and teams really started to play more expansive stuff and it would appear that on the whole attacks outplayed defences. If that makes any sense.

That's a really good point actually, never thought of that. Yeah plenty of points all over yesterday and on a weekend full of shocks it was pleasing we got the win.

Hope we can beat Bulls this week and go into easter full of confidence.

Pearson, sign Rangi Chase

Think I explained my reasoning pretty well for the Ogre switch. Bowden played well, but when we say "well", are we thinking "well for a youngster" or "well compared to everyone else"? I think we all know the answer to that. He's still in his early days of development, so let's not rush him. He's not played well enough to keep O'Meley out just yet!

Turner on the other hand has been a real stand out. Breaking the line, showing some great speed and putting in decent ball for Briscoe. I think to drop him would send out the wrong message. In fact, I think keeping him in sends out all the right messages to the squad.

Give over he's absolute quality.

He is, but has a short fuse and is prone to be greedy. Him and Yeamo in the same team would be too much

Having said that he kept Cas in it yesterday. All 5 of their tries came through him at some point.

I'd rather have Chase playing for us than against us, He would be a quality addition to the team .

Totally agree, different class yesterday,

Chase is a bit of a maverick and might struggle to fit into a more structured style but I would take him without a doubt.

Me too. He might have been on the losing side, but he offered more in attack than either of our half backs yesterday.

Thought bowden did well, when ogre's back id possibly play bowden instead of O'carroll.
