Definitely an outstanding team performance from our lads and a well executed and deserved win. Credit to Terry Matterson for having faith in our young players, and for finally appearing to have done something about the shambolic defence that plagued us last season. It was encouraging to hear his comments and that he was disappointed with the try at the end and that we'd 'leaked so many points' last week - obviously things they'll be working on in training.

It's the first time I've seen Daz Clark in action and I was extremely impressed - he's gonna be a good 'un. Oli Holmes got through an unbelievable amount of work too and will be hard to shift from the 17 now.

It's actually very difficult to pick a stand-out player, such was the quality of the team performance which was tactically and defensively superb considering the conditions. So I'll leave it at that, accepting there's a long way to go, but we've had a great start and the pressure's now on to build on it. Two weeks in there's only one team topped the table so far - it's a shame we can't defend our spot next week against the Champions as that would've been some game.

Sounds like a great showing by Cas

Sporting response from Hudds fans too

So when did Huddersfield all of a sudden become a big club? they all seem to think already losing to Cas doesn't matter and they will finish "well clear" and that was the best Cas can play and it took a "lucky" try "that shouldn't have even been a try" to win when they were having an "off day".

To me that game showed more about Huddersfield then it did Cas, it shows Huddersfield are flat track bullies who when out-muscled lose the plot and can be out done up front by a more finesse team. We've all seen in flashes before Cas can do a defensive shift.

Their 10 fans seem to think that the 6 point margin was reflective of the game too

Cas were far superior throughout and Huddersfield, imo were lucky it wasn't dry because they would have been hammered.

Another thing is pundits banging on about the conditions, weren't they more detrimental to Cas who throw the ball around? The game showed Huddersfield are one dimensional and not as good as everyone thought they were.

As for Youngquest's second try, they don't seem to grasp benefit of the doubt - the fact you can't CONCLUSIVELY see anyone strip the ball out or knock on, so Silverwood had no other choice to award benefit of the doubt because the video ref is there to find any CLEAR reason to disallow a try.

To sum up, because they've had a couple of good years the Huddersfield fans have become utterly delusional and seem to think they're a big club when they're in fact flat track bullies who can be out-muscled when that's supposed to be their "thing".

their last try should have been looked at, IMO i thought he was off side when the ball was kicked

He was a mile offside.

Lets just see what position you guys finish? and it was chase that pulled the ball ..... open your EYES plain to see, cas were better on the day, most teams have off days just like you will at some point!

lets look at the table at the end of the season



if you finish above us it will be the first time since 2003

i've looked at it about 20 times and each time i can csee the ball come loose however it does so when Cudjoe comes in from the side he joins in and the ball pops out but i cannot see the ball being pulled out, which i assume why we were given benefit of the doubt.

We aren't daft we know that position after 2 games means nothing I just hope we can maintain some form and put in some solid performances this year. I'm not bothered about what or how other teams are getting on I just want my team to work hard for each other and the supporters right through the year.

TBF you could see it from first time of looking that chase had his hand in, just look how the ball comes out! but never mind games gone now. well done, good look for the rest of the season.

Show us your trophies?????

You gunna comment on Griffins 3 on 1 steal when we were 10 yard out which could of led to a try?

Jog on....

yeah seen it but it didnt lead to a try that shouldnt of been given, i could comment on a lot of other things but lets not go down that road. and where do you want me to jog to?

Back to your board. We don't need your 1 sided thoughts. Shall we comment on your last try which your guy Was offside and check If you want.

The steal would of got us 2 points which would of put us 10-6 up with ball back. If your gunna come slating our try which in my opinion was a steal then at least own up to your mistakes.

Huddersfield are a decent team, thats why a lot of us Cas fans were over the moon when we beat them to go top of the league again.

I remember when Huddersfield were finishing bottom of the league every year and beating Wakey and Huddersfield in the first 2 games most Cas fans would have expected nothing less.

However beating Huddersfield at the moment is a bit of a scalp, hence the reaction of a lot of Cas fans.

Although i do think the tide is turning, i have great expectations of this current crop of Cas players, good times around the corner methinks..

sorry it was a try i put my rose tints on and watched it back 21 times, fair try well done im in the wrong sorry for all the abuse, oh and no sorry not a perv!

Tbh the video wasn't conclusive to a ball steal or a lose carry.
Just take it on the chin, youngquest was jonny on the spot and got the ball before any other player.
It could have gone either way.

Lets not forget the 2 on 1 ball steal on the cas player, ganson played on. Swings and roundabouts.

i merely stated that i had watched it around 20 times and if you lived in my house you would understand why we watched it so many times and nobody could determine the exact reason as the Hudds player came in from the side the ball came out.

bit harsh to suggest ALL of us are bleating about it,i think most of us have accepted cas were the better team and fully deserved the win im not sure where you got your evidence from.im pretty sure most giants fans aren't suggesting what your insinuating.
as for the VR try,yes it was inconclusive and yes we were pretty miffed by it,but tell me you wouldn't have been had it been t'other way round? but it's done with now,we didnt compete with you on the night and deserved a defeat,which if im honest 18-12 did flatter us in the end!
so enjoy being top especially if you keep it up its about time castleford were at the top again,
good luck for the season and dont tar us all with the same brush like your neighbours from belle vue

As poppys mum said, you can't tell if it was a steal or a loose carry - and even if Chase's hand was in there, you cant see if he prised it or if it was simply dropped. Most steal/loose carry decisions can be seen to be controversial depending on which team you support! As it is, all the video ref could do was give BOD to the attacking team which is the directive for unclear VR decisions.

I think, like meast, I'd have accepted it had it been the other way round, but have always had the "what if" in the back of my mind.

ATEOTD it was given as a try, IMO harsh on us but,its gone now no point bleating about it, we just gotta take it out on the " blackandwhites" on sunday

Hope you do my friend, keep the on a big ZERO points.

It was given as 'benefit of the doubt' which proves it was inconclusive and whilst harsh, the video ref was simply applying the operational rules. Had the teams been reversed, we could've had no complaints.
