I thought we looked arrogant & didn't work hard enough nor did we stay disciplined, why don't we ever take the 2 points when we have the chance, back down to earth with a bang. Wigan next big test against a tough defending side.

Don't really see what anyone from your side of the river has to gloat about. I'm over it already - it's a blip, a lesson in not giving a decent team a two try head start. I'm still confident, and not too proud to say i got it wrong. (But i'd rather say it to a Cas fan than some championship bound muppet)

Great game. Could have gone either way. No way a penalty in front of the sticks to level the game.

No shame in losing to Cas. They will be top 4 again this year. On the evidence of tonight, so could you. Tuimavave stifled. Shaul my MoM.

Got to do the basics right before anything else , bit of believing our hype a bit for me but also week off came at the wrong time. Feel we gotta use Frank near opposition line more

Tinkerman man why wouldn't we think we would win ? We didn't that's sport get over it. Cricky one defeat against a good cas team and one we could have won and it's all doom and gloom. Don't hold your breath against a Radford out petition coming up

Stop coming on our thread Pickering red and talking sense lol

Enjoyed the game. End to end, just a shame we didn't get another win on the board.

There were definitely some things that we can take into next week. Jamie Shaul was great going forward, as was Danny Houghton. Just think a few individual brain farts, and the first 8 minutes left us with to much to do.

As one of the other posters has said on another thread, its a wake up call and one that may be good for us for the rest of the season. We'll have to wait until next week to find out. Still, entertained and still hopeful and optimistic of us have a good year.

To give away stupid penalties by pushing defenders in the face?

Nobodies being doom and gloom - just pointing out frailties

Naughton has to be given a chance next week. We created a fair few overlaps which Talanoa and Michaels are just not quick enough to exploit. Michaels has also conceded a fair few tries already.Just a thought.

Entertaining game, just some very dumb play by Hull. Senior players, too.

Cas look a very strong side. Great half backs and well coached.

I thought tonight was a very good contest between two evenly matched sides. Credit to Cas.
I agree with Radders, our tackling just wasn't good enough tonight and we didn't really deserve to win.
Our edge defence needs some work.
That said we had chances to win the game that we didn't take.
It might just focus minds a little bit. Roll on Wigan.

Nothing wrong with thinking we could win, but the expectation was a joke, felt it all week, and expected a cas win tonight. Because ive seen it happen season after season. Thought interchanges wasnt great tonight either, id of spelled manu earlier with ellis

That's pretty much how I saw it.

Everything is so black and white to a lot of fans. If Pryce's kick had stayed in play and Michaels had got on the end of it the same people would be on here saying how we showed great mental toughness and proved we could win the close games. But it wouldn't have meant we played any better.

You cert like pointing out frailties don't you seb

Id of said we was lucky, but happy to get the win

Unfortunately tonight showed we need a bit of pace on the wings. Naughton or maybe Lancaster to get a chance.

Agreed.

Did it, why , cant remember to many clear cut chances for them

Reckon Noggers will get a chance next week.

I must admit I don't see how that can be your main conclusion after watching that game. Not sure pace on the wings played much of a part at all if any (maybe Hitchcox's second when a quicker man than Talanoa might have made a tackle). However I do think I prefer Naughton on the wing to Michaels.

Yeh agree , think naughton deserves a chance, nothing to do with lack of pace on tonights performance, just michaels didnt have the best off games , so naughton should get a chance

I think (and it pains me to say it, because I really like the kid) whoever plays outside of Logan is going to look worse as a defender. Too many times Logan jumped from the line tonight, opening a gap and causing pressure. Fair play to him if he makes good contact.

The thing is, people have called for to work with yeaman on his defense, and it looks like its something which could be good in the future. Just seems he misjudged it a bit tonight.

This season is going to be a learning experience for Logan. Teams will rightly target him. Some weeks he'll get it right and others he won't.

Exactly. It'll only be good for him in the long term though. Just a shame we didn't really see much of him in attack tonight, so it showed up his defense a bit. Will need to watch the game back really to have a closer look.
