Here's an idea...

When we have a feed at the scrum, how about having the boy Briscoe in the stand off position, getting the ball first.

We all know he's got amazing strength and steps out of tackles with ease. The reduced defensive line the scrum offers is perfect for him.

From last game, IMO the match hinged on the the quality, depth and ability of both sides bench ....we (Cas) shaded it with being able to call Westerman, Huby, Higgins and Nettherton ALL of them forwards, two of them relacement props and Westy who can alternate in the backs, against FC's bench of Moa, Lee, Berrigan (great player) and Thackery (how long was he on for???).

I also think Hull underestimated our ablity to not throw the towel as in2008 we at 18-12we would have been tonked by you.

We also made some laughable errors defending the North Stand End when we gifted two scores from kicks.........this is not the Cas of previous years and I'm certain a few other teams are going to come unstuck (East Hull/Land of the Dinosuars/ Sinners) if they also underestimate Cas 2009.

Once again we can hear the bells of doom ringing around west Hull!!
The coach is crap we need him out
The players are too slow , all crap, cant pass get rid !!
all the teams we beat were naff so were lucky to be third in SL!Ref was against us
Tommy Lee is to blame
BORING

Cmon guys if anyone had pre season said we would be third at this point in the season I would have laughed at them!
We had a poor night at the office, Cas play solid rugby and deserved the win but we will come back better for it in the long run !!
We are third because we deserve to be thrid and cas are where they are cos they deserve to be too!
Live with it, SL has more Parity in the teams this year and that means anyone can beat anyone

I wouldn't drop Moa he needs more game time. Didn't look that distressed when he came off thought he could have gone on longer. Time for a stint in each half now I reckon. He took the ball in well and attracted defenders - Horne scored directly after one of his runs due to defending bodies being sucked into the middle. Gets a very fast play the ball as well which was no mean feat last night. Pity he wasn't on for that last embarrassing set of 6. Play him don't drop him.

All credit to Cas. Sherwin ran the show, his kicking game was very good. Chase ran well and their backs were very quick. They will beat teams this season and they also looked very fit. We do not deserve to win every game and we will be beaten at times. Still third but a long way to go. Didn't really see the big hits in defence last night that have been present in previous games. They now have a week to prepare for Quinns which we must win, but again, not an easy task.

I think you will find that he did that at least once last night.

I still think the rule that allow's the defence to break from the scrum before the ball comes out is a stupid one. It stiffles what set plays teams can put on from the base of the scrum, but in general this has been an area of great improvement for us this season.

Last night aside, we seem to try different things this year from the base of the scrum and have been relatively succesfull.

yet another game i wouldn't call, but it should be a tad tougher than last night.

And you've played all the 'big teams' too.... concerned?

is radders getting spelled at all or doing 80? if moa or thacks cant help the props out more than king should come in. very few props can do 60mins every game for the full season.

radders isnt doing the full 80 i think he does about 60 alltogether

and he looks shattered after 5 games?

mind you he always looks shattered.

Watch the reserves yesterday,washy was poor tbh and i saw maloney for the 1st time ,i honestly can not see him getting in the 1st team this year hes not big enough and has no real impact at that level never mind S/L hes way behind Wheeldon as a player ,Washy was very average carnt remember him making a break tbh i thought whiting worked hard without been to stand out. Paul King was a stand out player and looked every bit a super leauge player put some big hits in, had some great runs and laid some great balls off for the young lads who enjoyed running off him ,i would recall kingy for deffo dont know about the others yet ,just can not see who you would leave out for them on form at the moment
