I think I saw more offloads tonight than the past 3 years.

I quite enjoyed that second half, pulled some decent moves.

Much better performance which is the first step.

Like the look of Scott, only 18, looks the most likely out of the youngsters

Yes better effort from the team but lets not forget Castleford never had to get out of second gear

I wouldn't expect them to have to given our relative league positions, form and possibly absence of key players. Certainly a step forward tonight. Youngsters did a good job. Main concern for me remains the front row, although Masi stood up we need to sign a prop.

I wouldn't have expected to win that game given the comparative squads even if we'd gone into the game in banging form.

If Adam Pearson needed any reminder why we need to have this squad overhauled he only had to look at the attendance tonight.
Never 10000 in the ground more like 7000

Much improved and a good effort, didn't expect to win, with our confidence so low and injuries but generally a good dig and some nice attacking play in the 2nd half.

I think we have 3 really good youngster who given time and gametime will develop into good SL players in Scott, Lane and Litten.

It's criminal that Mouldi hasn't played more and the likes of Abdul and Harris have been picked over him.

I'd have him starting on the wing in front of Talanoa next season

Doesn't need an ovethaul, just a couple of signings, get players fit and play more attacking rugby

Agreed, I'd say 2 props and a line breaking back rower. Put Kelly, Sneyd and Connor into the backs, Bowden, Mini and Westerman into the pack and 2-3 additions as above, things would be looking a lot better.

Thought the team had a go tonight,the French lad brought enthusiasm,Scott got better as the game went on and Litten certainly looks as though we should play him next time.

To be fair we’re in wretched form, , three quarters of the team are out, we’ve come off the back of a record defeat (again), and the games on Sky. Can’t expect the crowd to be big tonight.

Most other Super League clubs would love our crowds on a bad day.
