We have even got a mention on the Beeb website but some of the comments on there are unbelievable to say the least.....obviously from Anti-Rugby League fans or disillusioned Cas fans https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-leagu ... o#comments

And the thing is, I don't think Toulouse played badly. They weren't dropping the ball, ran hard and threw it around too.....they just couldn't break us.
Outstanding performance

A lot of credit must go to Daryl, good team selection, great substitutions and perfect tactics.
A Daryl Powell masterclass

Thought Olpherts had a really strong game bringing the ball out and bagged another two scores to add to his total of 27 walk ins this year.

Vagana put in a faultless display replacing Griffin. No dumb penalties nor dropped balls either. The run and ball to Jerry for the try was classy.

Was impressed with Vagana in the second row last night. He can clearly play both there and prop. Be interesting to see which position we train him towards.

Powell has said he sees him as a second row now.....though clearly it's good to have players who are flexible.
I think preseason will help him develop his game and physique a lot.

I must have missed that. I know before game he said Vagana can play second row as option but not that it was how he saw him.

Vagana was very good in the middle at prop and decent in SR but he played well enough yesterday to convince me he could probably make SR his position.

He’s got the frame for both I guess and a couple kilos of muscle will probably take his game to the next level. Very exciting.

There were strong performances all over the park but I gotta say, Olpherts was an absolute machine.
Opinions will differ but he was my mom at the hooter.
Over all, Wakey were right on their metal...all game, Toulouse got smoked, game was won by half time, I don't think I've seen us that motivated to go the extra mile for no reason this season.

Listening to Luke Gale on Radio Leeds,they had a score to settle after the defeat in July. There was the motivation, plus a couple retirees and a few leavers, perfect storm for us
