Very happy with last nights result, although to nick it by two points would have been better ! The gutsy fightback (I think Lamont Bryan's 5 second try and Luke Dorn's run being the highlights), the crowd, the friday night lights atmosphere, the nail biting finish - a good advert on the pitch for Superleague and Quins RL in general

Re the short re start in the final minute, we nearly blew it, the ref asked the question if it had gone 10 before Pryce touched it!!! Now that would have been a killer.

Really did think we had nicked that one.

Did not see the penalty that drew the game, anybody get a decent view of it and was it a quins shoulder it came off? or any doubt?
Overall happy with the point, we started to show some of the game skills that won the games at Leeds and St's great to see Luke Dorn chasing the kicks and challenging the high ball, real difference between the 2 teams, have to say was Rangi Chase!! ripped us to shreds, Mathers good at full back for Cas as well and we kicked straight in to his hands far to often
2 points would have been good, I know the players were gutted with only the 1 as I think we had it won with a minute to go!!!

As for Pryce only on the pitch for 10 mins at the most, strikes me as very lazy and does not want to get involved unless forced

It was Pryce's shoulder that it came off, no doubt about that. He jumped up, i use the phrase jump very lightly, and it hit his shoulder.
Amateur attempt at catching that ball.

Cheers Tim
No doubt then and good call from the officials!

Congrats to the U-20's boys on a very good 44 - 20 win against Cas today.
Scoring lots of points again!!!!!

Thought Olly Wilkes played well, love the way he keeps hammering into the forwards!

Andy Ellis was also brilliant, he just doesn't stop!

Cas have played and beaten Huddersfield 16-10

Some Cas fan you are, it was 18-12.

I'd hardly consider results in Round 2 to have any significance either. If you played Huddersfield now, they'd beat you comfortably.

You are an absolute idiot.

Results don't always work the way you think. E/g Who expected Catalan to win at Wigan and Warrington after they were turned over by Salford?

Bitter, cynical moron.

Did you think it was 16-10 too?

I know what you mean, you get freak results, such as Castleford managing to beat Huddersfield. Lets face it, it won't be happening again this season.

I think given the poor run of results we had going into the game, to turn a 14 point deficit into a 2 point lead was an outstanding achievement. For once when we had a large number of "newbies" in, we performed, meaning there is half a chance of them coming back. Lamont Bryan did well, thought Clubby had his best game for a while as well.

Clubb had been poor for the last two seasons, and i thought giving him a four year contract was ludicrously generous. Fair play, and maybe it was the boost of going on the Four Nations, which in itself says something about the poverty of English centre resources. he has been much better this year and was excellent on Friday. I couldn't believe he wasn't given more chances to run at his oppo, he had his number. If he had a better winger outside him, he'd create huge problems.

Every chance we'll beat them at The Shay. 3rd beating 1st isn't really a freak result is it.

Comparing the relative league positions at such a early stage of the season is a bit silly.
And I don't even understand what the rest of your post means.

Huddersfield will be playing three(?) home SL matches at Halifax this summer due to pitch repairs at their own ground.

I thought Cas looked a decent side for much of Friday night's match. It was a classic example of how momentum can swing in a very short space of time in RL and a team that looks dead & buried can turn the whole game on its head. A great advertisement for Superleague rugby.

Cas will make the play-offs, possibly with plenty to spare and a home tie, which helps justify the whole franchise system. They'd have been relegated a couple of seasons ago under the old system, but they now have a vibrant team with good young home-grown players coming through.

Thought Cas looked impressive for much of the game. It will be good to see them maintain their run, finish in a decent place in the table and get a good run in the play-offs.

Was I alone in thinking that Danny Orr looked a bit quicker than he he did in his last year with us?

Mac seemed to be able to get all of his team to play at one speed-

It's called flogging players to death, when mid season they need proper conditioning in training, looks like Leeds are getting the same treatment, the players look lethargic and tired, its not as if their squad lacks experience on the big stage.

off to post this on the VT....should rattle a few cages
