We could have won by more! Heremaia almost through. Yeaman should have got a penalty try. If that wasn't at least a penalty for the shove off the ball in a certain try-scoring position, then it should have been a scrum because Cas knocked on and we didn't get advantage (under the new rules). Tom Briscoe made an outstanding run as well.

Thinking about it, I may get this game on DVD. Loads of highlights!

While I'd have no gripes with that, in fact I actually think Crooks offers a good deal more than Yeaman, Yeaman and Briscoe have not exactly had a great deal of good service lately. We seem to be predominantly attacking down the right edge at the moment.

Was a strange game for me. At times in the 1st half we really struggled to make much ground with ball in hand and looked a bit bereft of ideas at times but were saved by holdsworth's excellent kicking game (How we've missed a player who can kick like that since cooke left) and a cas winger who couldn't catch.

When watts and heremia came on we suddenly transformed (may have been down to cas' heads dropping) and looked like a completely different team.

2nd half we just overwhelmed them and were obviously more confident with the ball.

Defence was good for the most part all game

Fantastic to nil a side in Super League.
Great to see Watts and Bowden in, I think they both have huge potential.
Pleased for Arundel, and somewhat relieved!

Must watch a different match to everyone else,I personally thought Yeaman had a good game,ran the ball in strongly,making very good metres (he & Briscoe didn't get much ball) and had Shenton in his back pocket all night.

P.S. For anybody to suggest Gentle would of dropped Yeaman for Crookes instead of Arundal must be barking MAD,Arundal is so far behind Yeaman its scary, in fact,Crookes is miles in front of him.

Maybe Cas weren't that good but I wont be worrying too much as I'm sure the top 4 don't think like that for a second when hammering teams like this. As I said earlier our tactics were spot on in the conditions and I think at this stage we actually look better keeping it fairly tight using, yes, the inside ball a fair bit amongst the forwards. The fact the Danny Houghton was so much better in this game meant we rolled better despite at times in the first half still labouring a bit when playing the ball. Pleasing for me was the way we were able to soak up what Cas had to offer against a fair weight of possession in the first half. Everyone did their jobs in defence to the standard required and you could see confidence grow each set.

Hard to pick out individuals outside of the hat trick heroes. I thought Lynch improved up to his high standard in his second spell and Horney is just a different player when along side DJ. Really pleased with the condition Watts was in and he was a handful. I thought Yeamo and Tom did their best with limited ball but a final mention for Joe Arundel who I would have had playing for York this weekend. Thought he showed glimpses of why he was signed - physically he looks the real deal and seeing him with a bit more ball in hand he looks a well balanced runner. If he can gain confidence from his defensive performance and hopefully in his shoulder then maybe we've a good player. Well done to PG for sticking with him but he needs to back it up against a better Hudds centre and build on this. His deft change of direction before receiving Horney's sublime short ball shows potential class let's hope the improvement continues.

I think that's a bit unfair on Arundel, i thought he had a great game and proved all the doubters wrong. I know one good game does'nt make a summer but he must of got massive confidence from that performance. Everyone forgets he is still a young kid and a bit raw, but i for one saw the potential last night and he will get better i have no doubt.

Ambulance carted Azza off to HRI.
Hope it's not too serious.

no mate its not as bad as expected popped his rib cartilage apparently.

Aaron heremaia ‏@Azaheremaia
Cheers every1 for the messages all good hear just rib cartilage popped out. #notserious #oldfaithfull

On a personal note its bloody marvelous,only home game I couldn`t make,look what happens.

At the end of the day you can only play the opposition who turn up, hull did that last night to a man.so cas were poor,to hulls credit they played the conditions much better than cas.The good thing for me was we never stopped playing once the game was won and players kept wanting to score.Lets hope this gives all the players some much needed confidence ,because without doubt we do have talented players in this squad, and I for one do believe pg is the right man for the job.Lets have a good turn out at Huddersfield next week.

Beat me too it. I thought yeaman had a very solid game, his marker defence was superb and he took the ball up well too, infact considering the left edge saw very little ball I thought Yeaman, Galea and Briscoe all had good games in their own right. You can tell that Galea is itching to develop a partnership with Yeaman but just isnt getting the service at the moment. That said, our right hand side were clinical and I was happy for Joe Arundel who's come under a lot of criticism (from me included) and Lineham just keeps getting better and better.

Anyone here anything about holdsworth?

Injured or just a precaution?

Gentle said he was brought off to give him a rest, so just a precaution. Sensible decision with the game won.
