Could it not be argued we were pretty conservative in the second half? A mentality of, game is just about won we don't need to do anything stupid so shut up shop?

You're deluded, you didn't make a try of your own all night.

At 20-4 up we didn't really need to try and risk over playing it. Weather wasn't great so it became a bit of play the conditions.

you didn't try anything other than laying on, offside and head high shots all night. The points (other than Hardaker) all came from FC errors. Watch the game back, two poor sides and the best team lost. It happens.

Best team didn't lose. We controlled the game for 65 minutes. I appreciate you didn't play well last night. We probably contained you better then what we did in our previous encounters.

Head high shots all night

Poor support from FC last night. Only 1100. Can't wait for HKR to get back into SL.

I think radders will be more pleased then Powell after that . I think cas know we have there number and won't want to face us in the play offs . We played really poor but in my eyes should have won the game , we gifted them 12 points . I can't remember them looking dangerous at all during the game or ripping us to bits like they do most teams . Sky was going on constantly about there defence all night , but apart from hardakers try which was fortune from shauls kick we defended really well ourselves . I wouldn't want to avoid cas later on in the year and I don't think there as good as some make out .

Maybe Radders should have attributed the loss to us turning in our worst performance of the season.
Worked for Powell the last two times we've played them....

Player on report, constant head high and laying on. Eden and Gale whinging all the time. I understand the fervour in the Cas village, you've won nothing for 50+ years. Enjoy the rest of the season.

Good post, my thoughts to. And pretty much exactly what I said before the game regarding the weather . A few posters thought the wet weather would help in our favour, clueless. Like you say really stopped fonua , tala getting on the front foot

It was but then again over 6500 fans just shelled out for cup semi final tickets that had your name on it lol

We played better in attack, defended better. The difference was we made too many errors with the ball that cost us dearly whereas they didn't. That ultimately overrides everything else.

Haha plus it was re arranged for a friday night, people had already made commiments and couldt go (me) our normal sunday afternoon away day to cas usually brings alot more

Morning all!

Think a lot of cas and Hull fans have missed the point in this game for me. I think both teams on and off the field have massive respect for one and other, that much is obvious. Hull are the only team who have successfully dealt with cas up to now, which considering how dominant we have been deserves a lot of credit.

This was never gonna be a game where you saw cas throwing the ball around and at 100mph. Our game against middling opposition has been "high risk high reward" which simply hasn't worked against Hull.

Neither team will absolutely blow the other away, if we play each other another 10 times, there's only gonna be 1 or 2 scores in it either way.

As such, cas played a far more low risk game last night and for the majority did a very good job. Defended well, and capitalised on opportunities. Hull, lost the game as they didn't perhaps capitalise on the field position they had in the first half. As such the scoreline seemed a little harsh at 20-4.

Whilst I agree that cas weren't at their attacking best, and created very few of their own chances, I think that was more out of respect for a very tough Hull side, and once we got our lead we tried to play more of a percentages game. At 20-4 there was no need to be overly expansive.

That being said, our game management fell apart in the last 15 and credit to Hull for almost fully taking advantage of that.

We didn't learn much last night that we don't know already - we will meet at least once before the season ends, and its gonna be tight either way.

Credit to you guys who came over, all the best in the CC and see you again in a month or so

Like Gale though. Great talent but Grade A grub. No need. https://twitter.com/56les/status/881052142458556420

Was it really anything? Connor didnt seem to notice it at all, something of nothing to me, cas could argue connor forearmed the cas player on the ground. Its rugby league at the end of the day

Heard the Hull player is out for 6 months after that horrendous pat on the bum. Grade E charge for me.

Seriously is this what the game is coming to when that's flying around Twitter.... Deary me.

Not much in it but can see Liam Watts being banned for 5 games for it

You missed him deliberately standing on a players foot?, The guy is a prize moron. Unfortunately some Cas fans are believing the hype. Won nothing, out of the CC and will not get to Old Trafford.

You could argue that black is actually white but it doesn't mean it's right

16 errors to cas' 11 which is what ultimately cost us the game. As I said earlier, I'm disappointed to miss out on 2 points but confident we will beat cas if we meet them in the play offs

There maybe nothing in it in terms of the injury etc but it's the intent of doing it that should be looked at. Normally you would expect someone who trods on someone's foot to step back as he does not then take the opportunity to stand on the ankle. The fact that nothing serious occurred is not the point it's the intent of his action.

How do you know it was deliberate? That's just a biased guess.

Why are you so sure Cas won't get to old Trafford? They're effectively a home game away from it. What makes you think they won't win at home to make the final considering they've won every home game this year.

Amazing how attitudes have changed towards Cas, is it because they're not a easy 2 points anymore and opposition fans can't give them a patronising pat on the head?

They deserve credit, not bitterness
