It quite easy why this Cas dont take under 21 leval has a proper comp they think it is a waiste of time just now but in a couple of years time when the youngster flood through they will dominate it as you lot found yesterday.the other reason lots of under 21 are only part time.

Take it you did not go to the match!Higgins and Widders looked a tad overweight

I did go to the match, yes. I stand towards the away end. I saw Widders and he just looked big rather than overweight. I always think Cas players just look too lean.

Earlier in the season Cas were winning a lot of games late in the match so conditioning didn't seem to be a problem then.

Biggest problem with Cas is our individual tackling technique. Compare it with the big improvers this season - Huddersfield, Hull KR & Harlequins - and it's easy to see why they're all looking a decent shout for the top 6 and we're now down in 10th.

All these sides seem to be much more effective in the tackle which puts the opposition under pressure and means they (the defenders) don't waste energy with missed tackles etc.

Against Warrington Sargent seemed to make about half the tackles whilst he was on the field. It was no great surprise we lost the game whilst he was off the field. Cas need to find some way of getting a few more of the players to tackle like he does. Until they do we're always gonna concede a lot of points and leave ourselves needing to score a pile of points to win a game.

I remember after we played Huddersfield pre season I said I was concerned at the conditioning levels and evidence of hypertrophy work on the players. Particularly arm and thigh girth.

Im just as concerned now as I was then
