Not too sure about all the deserved to win comments because that wasnt the way I saw it at all. Didnt think Huddersfield were that good and despite them beating us twice and being 4 places above us in the league there really is not that much between the two teams.
Our poor decision making cost us again but can't fault the lads for effort.
We are playing some good stuff and the defence has really tightened up but why oh why but in such a great defensive effort and then throw it away.Don't want to take away anything from Huddersfield but our inability to do the basics has cost us again.
It's all ifs and buts but I can only echo the comments about sherwin and hudson because had we had that experience in there then I don't think we would have blown it in the manner we did.
The penalties we give away is my main issue because we were completing decents sets followed by a good kick and chase and had them down by there own line and then we'd undo the good work by giving away a silly penalty. The evans incident stands out.
Ryan McGoldrick really really let us down IMO. We were on top and Huddersfield were rattled and were flying into tackles.
McGoldrick reacted and gave away and penalty and for me that was the turning point. As captain Ryan should have been able to rise above that.

Its funny that before Davey's earth shattering announcement at the beginning of the season offering free season tickets to those that bought a half price replica shirt no midget fans' would ever mention attendances'.
Wouldnt mind betting the cr@p you are coming out with is because its your first season at the Galfart

Cas used to have better support than you lot did even when they were in NL1

keep your money mate, that bet wouldnt get you any returns..long time season ticket holder..

We need a calmer man as captain, and a calmer man to play alongside Rangi, who was brilliant! I keep harping on about it but WESTERMAN needs to go to standoff. He is a calmer player can read the game so well and has a kicking game. We desperately need another option for the kicking game

TM is wasting the lads talents using him as a tackling machine and taking stupid crash balls in the middle of the park.
Goldy at stand off is one paced, everything he does is 90 miles an hour. That pace is much better used on the occasion when joining the line from fullback, it's less predictable for the opposition.

As for the cries that Shifty would have made the difference? Just look at the home game against the giants. we were in control of that game and blew it, we blew it against Leeds, we blew it against Hull-all with Shifty. We look more dangerous with Rangi at 7, granted time will tell.

As did most nuetrals, for some reason the fartowners as well as a few goons, loiners and flatcappers dont feel the same way.

Thanks though.

Outscoring Cas three tries to two may be one reason. Another may be that Huddersfield created far more chances - admittedly the majority of them were bombed, thereby keeping Cas in the game. Cas, on this occasion, weren't good enough to take advantage.

Like some one said earlier you were only in the game because the Giants coughed up so much ball.

Makes you wonder why we do panic when we are winning.
Maybe the team is to young and we needed a old head out there.

Yup, downside of a young squad is that they don't settle well. It will improve, next year you'll have the same skill/pace but on wiser shoulders - frightening stuff for the rest of us.

Up until the last 20 I thought you'd done enough, Huddersfield were starting to panic - but then they started roughing you up big time and you reacted and lost your heads a bit. I think you lost it rather than them winning it. Once Huddersfield realised that the ball back inside wasn't going to open you up like a kipper (or Trinity last week!) they seemed a bit clueless.

I think you'll be a better team for it, probably not this season but certainly next. Anyway, hard luck - and thanks for making it an entertaining game.

did you watch the game i thought all those chances we blew were outside on the Wings ie Aspinwall and Hodgson. Never mind you stick with your stereotypes and comments you pick up on threads without understanding them.

Yep, you blew them on the wings - - you were trying that 'cos you couldn't get up the middle! Don't know what you beef is about 'stereotypes', your strength is in your pack and Cas's is in their open play - facts, not dogma. Nowt to be ashamed of, it's just that when you play it wide you come up with more errors cos that is not your strength - and watching a good pack in action is every bit as entertaining as watching a nippy winger IMO.

Don't be so sensitive - there's only one team I dislike and it ain't Huddersfield or Cas!!
