Exactly when leeds started niggling we got sucked in. A wins a win though but lot of work needs to be done.

Winners are grinners...

Missed Shenton's defence in centre. Probably one of Handley's tries and Watkin's try would have been stopped.
Game management poor. Twice tackled into touch early in count, when a more conservative approach was the choice.
However, we are misfiring because we are stop - start, and still just lost one. Six players out, JSL, Shenny, Wardle, Olly, Eden, Watts. That's nearly half of 13!

I'll take the win.

Come on guys. So much negativity.
Things to work on sure..... But bloody hell, we beat them in their own back yard with half a team.
Remember those on here who said 'middle 8's' - shut up. We are real challengers already.

Spot on.

We have to stop those panicky plays. We don't have to score worldly tries in the corner in tight games. Get a repeat set. Grind it out. Force errors. Sicken the opposition. We did it 3 times and they went back up the paddock and scored each time.

That said - 2 points. We move on to Wakey in 6 days.

Imagine someone telling you in 2012 that you would beat leeds at Elland Road and you would be disappointed.


Wins a win. Even better that we beat them and we clearly aren't at our best. EVEN better that they scored more tries than us and we still beat them.

We're still misfiring, had disruption from two postponed matches and a stand full of first team players missing but we still walked away with the win.

It wasn't perfect and our defence looked weak in large parts of the game but in the end it didn't matter. We'll continue to get better over the course of the season.

Also wish every SL match could be played in those stadiums with 20k+ fans. Makes such a difference to the game.

That was a great win. When the teams were read out I feared the worst, however the boys found a way and did the travelling support proud. If we get anywhere near a full team out we are going to be tough to stop.

Good to get the win but we’ll need to improve to pick up the points over easter. I’ll put it down to a lack of games because of the weather but we are a way off a good 80 minute performamce at present. Need to keep our composure better.

I will be one of the first to put my hand up and say I/we need to back the guys more even if I/we feel we are up against it. This team has guts, nuts and a will to dig it out more than most Cas teams I have seen in my 50 years.

Our coach is fantastic at getting the best out of every player and we absolute dig in when we need to.

I have always been a proud Cas fan and even nore so lately. Well done boys, phenominal.
