Why is it that every team we beat the speccis come on here to tell us "it's the worst we've played this season"?

Well, technically it was. The final scoreline proved that.

i said about 9600 i was little shocked at the announced figure. shame cas saved their worst performance for the biggest crowd of year. many of them new fans (cas that is) will not come back which is a shame. good turn out from wakey given the conditions as stated above wakey stand at the railway end.

finally, well done on your performance and comfortable win, just gtted we couldnt give you a game, especially in the second half. we lacked spirit and huinger. wakey looked mile more up for it and we proved we cant play in the rain. thank god it;s summer rugby :wink:

What excuse will you use when its sunny and you still lose. Oh and just a thought I dont suppose the way we played had anything to do with you having your "worst performance of the season" nah I didnt think so.

its beggars belief'
when you hear supporters say it was the worse performance they'd seen, do they not realize that it the way the opposing side has not allowed them to play never mind let them think otherwise

what made you get out fo your pram. FACT is it was the worst cas have played all season FACT. another fact is wakey were by far the better team and addapted to the conditions better than us. first half both defences were equal to the challenge second half you wripped us appart and we fell to pieces. god knows what i said to get you rattled.

and what was laughable about the crowd. by the way - cas's worse performance on the terraces too last night - our away support is great but at home it's gettign like a library!!!

truth is cas choked on the big occasion again

to be fair it's not easy to tell the root cause and it is often a combination of both. we need to not lose sight of the fact that with the ball in the first half we were awful, no better than cas who were equally bad i can not remember a half with so many unforced errors.
our victory was based in the main on terrific defence which is very pleasing and hopefully the foundations upon which we can build for the dulls tomorrow.

Agree about the defence but as I've stated on the Cas board it's our ability to bring a number of players on who can change the game - Drew, Brough, Obst and Martin in this case all took a turn. With Cas it soon became evident that Sherwin was not going to be allowed to play and once he was out of the frame Cas had no options. Had they taken Drew out in the same way we would still have had other options - Kears playmaker hording is really paying off.

This monday Obst is out but the player who replaces him Latu still offers plenty. How many other teams have so many options, they may have individually better players but not enough IMHO.
