few weeks back I happened, by chance, to bump into Darryl powell in a pub near York.
talking RL I said cas were playing some great stuff but the crunch would come when they had high pressure games later in the year when they had to grind out wins. I wondered if they could adapt.
he grinned and said he agreed and said he hoped they would.
Wih regards to Cas, my mind goes back to Warrington in 2011. They just strolled past teams most weeks and they hadn't had a close contest in the 7/8 weeks prior to that playoff SF vs us at the HJ. When that close tight contest came they were undone by a team that had been scraping in close games most of the year. Big comfortable wins are great but whether it be a semi or a final if they get there they will eventually end up in a game that's tight and goes down to the death. There away form suggests they can't as easily replicate what they do at home to other pitches which are presumably bigger than the Jungle.
