Team performance over all : Sun Mar 06, 2011 8:51 pm  

To be honest, I know we pulled off a scrappy win but I feel we played poor in attack. First half we couldn't get going at all and second half we bombed so many chances.

But it just shows how much of a different team we are. Playing poor and still beating a play off team. If this was the old Tigers we would of slacked off late. It's great to not play amazing and still pick up a win and comfortably in the end. Still players to come back from injury and we are sitting very nicely.

By the way our defence in the second half was great again. We have now stopped Hudds from scoring in 40mins and Hull KR from scoring in final 40mins. Great defence. Just gotta cut out silly penalties giving away field position.

Rangi's kicking to touch on penalties was amazing, making a good 40yards, something we have missed in recent years.

The young lads pulled it out again. Oggy scoring first and also Clark playing amazing. Can Hudson get his spot back?

Overall then for me I thought first half we were poor but only went in 2 behind. Second half much better but should of scored more and need to take chances as we had many today.

Good performance by the boys and we didn't even play the best we can.

Agree with most of that.

I'm so used to seeing Cas just crumble under pressure in the last 10/15 minutes, that even if we build up a 12 point buffer I'm just expecting the opposition to come back and steal it. It's not easy on your nerves being a Cas fan.

Milner & Holmes were fantastic for me.

Agree 1st half HKR played us off the park, Second we stepped up a gear and fell off a cliff.

Just have this little niggle in me that when Hudson and Goldy are fit they will come in and upset the balance, But for at least another week im gonna sit in me little happy tiger bubble and smile.

In summary this weekend has been ace
1 Leeds united win
2 England cricket somehow steal a win
3 Man Utd lose to a poor scouse outfit
4 Cas TOP of the table with a game in hand

Life can be so nice at times

Silver medal at the European Indoor Champs for a former Cas reserve too!

Did anyone else notice the fact that we SCORED tries a few minutes either side of half-time today. Always a killer for the opposition... as we know from years of being on the receiving end.

Thought everyone played there part in the win today minus Walker for obvious reasons. Special praise imo must go to Jones who i thought was excellent throughout. Also thought Widders was good (charging to collect the Huby drop out was excellent!) and also Huby was immense, as has been discussed in the other thread. We have improved so much from last season. Imo we would have lost that game in the final 10-15 but there seems such a belief in the team and it's great to see. Long may it continue.
