Can't believe we didn't keep attacking Finn & Gibsons side we troubled them everytime, when Sneyd found out our weak side he kept going at it & that's the difference in a good halfback if the game structure isn't going to plan, you play what's in front of you, he will be a cracking edition to our squad for 2015. Radders should have put Ellis on Whiting side after the first try in the 2nd half for Cas. Imo

I enjoyed last night's game for the first time in quite a while. However I still came away slightly disappointed that we managed to not win a game we had control of for 70mins. We struggle when the opposition step up a gear and just panic, we have a real collective fragility when up against it. Another 5 minutes and we'd have lost imo. I suppose one of the postives I took was the player that orchastrated the Cas revival will be playing for us next season!

Everyone in the ground knew we wouldn't win! Never been at a game with such a subdued atmosphere when we had what should have been a winning lead with 15 minutes to go. The whole crowd was as nervous as the players

Agree with all that

Clear improvement last night, let's hope more to come. Lots of effort, particularly our defensive line speed which I thought was excellent, and contributed to Cas' poor handling.

As others have said, might possibly have won if we hadn't lost Rankin, but it also has to be said that we paid the price for not scoring as many as we should. Should have been at least another score in front at half time. Still worrying that Cas very much had an off night but could reel us in in 15 minutes.

Westerman looked back near his best, Paea had his best game for a fair while, and Ellis was immense.

Hauraki looked deliberate to me.

Cas fans, is James Clare any good? Every time I've seen him against Hull he's looked useless, is he always like that or does he save it for us?

In my opinion it was reckless/dangerous but not convinced it was deliberate tbh.

He was looking right at Abdull's head and then put his knee there.

Not watched the game back yet - but how did Cas get the 20m restart when Clare dropped it in goal - they cannot say that he made that ball dead surely?

No me neither but someone near me last night said the ball touched the whitewash before he touched it!! Can't say I've seen it since though.

Technically he did, he got lucky. He had one foot over the dead ball line when he made contact with the ball. The best thing was that he fumbled it into his own face.

It was that stupid rule about putting your foot dead, and taking the ball out that Lineham used for us. Only difference being that Tom kept hold of the ball.

I agree about Lineham. All of their tries were scored down our right side and, strangely enough, all of ours were scored down their right. I'm sure its something that will be looked at, but as you say Lineham does not look as fit as previously.

GROW UP

Again we had no last play, just like Cas away. Yeaman walking the ball in? why not try a kick to corner, try and push, its the last play FFS

Erm, ok?



Did your Mrs run off with the milkman this morning, or something?

Yep, should get rid of it as a rule in my opinion. I would like to see an end to the free play rule as well.

I think its obvious to everyone that the one major thing we are missing is a good coach, Radford may become one, but to do is apprenticeship as head coach of Hull is neither fair on him or the fans.

A good halfback is one thing we are missing at the moment. Hopefully sneyd and Pryce will address that problem

I think a good coach with our squad now, would do better than Radford with his squad next season, if that makes sense, hope im wrong

I get that that rule is just to speed games up a bit however it is daft when it saves the catcher from a knock on, should have to be caught and controlled

bit controversial, but our distribution,decision making from dummy half
is awful. -IMO

It is terrible was hoping Cunningham would get some game time to see if he is any better.

Nothing controversial at all imo, it is the poorest aspect of our whole attacking play, it’s been holding us back for far too long now.

agree with you, a smart side would have had the game sewn up by half time!

Not seen anyone mention it but Abdull's injury isn't that serious, he has whiplash and concussion.
