Tasty looking crowd . Good atmosphere with a real big game feel here 

Noisy as Hell under Eddie Warings box.

[MZH]

Cas havent threatened to so much as bend Hull's line but two mistakes and they are in control. Now we will see what Hull are made of.

[snapski]

Springer is so frustrating 

[chuffer]

good bit of bundling

[DavidM]

How much time wasted at scrums?

[DavidM]

Tackled in the air infront of the touchie

[chuffer]

no support for Kelly, chance gone begging

[Gates1]

Far too often players get penalised for standing their ground when a player moves forward as he is playing the ball and dives on the floor.  Think Hull have done it a couple of times tonight and got penalties.  I'll be interested to watch it back on tv.  Even if not penalised it's obstructing the marker.  Taking 3 steps into him at times.

[Just Browny]

If Hull do win, it will be good to hear from Andy Last how much time Hull practice seal-flopping, theatrical head-shaking and behind-the-ptb windmilling during the week.

[DavidM]

So many ruck pens just don't need blowing 

[snapski]

The best 

[Gerrumonside ref]

Great run by Hardaker

[DavidM]

Big try right on halftime . If anything their defence has been even more impressive

It's a long time when watching in the Pub and a long time at the ground. Conversions not good either. 

[MZH]

Cas deserve the lead they've got because of how theyve defended, but thats three tries conceded that all make you want to pull your hair out as a Hull fan. Really Cas havent carved out one chance. Question is do Hull have enough points in them to turn this around? The way Castleford have defended I would say probably not.

aye the lad can shift

[GeordieSaint]

Good side Cas; great to see for the sport and to watch.

(Just hope Leeds don't pip them (or the other two in the top four) to the title)

[Wollo Wollo Wayoo]

Crazy 1st half.  Hull shooting themselves in the foot several times.

[Man of Kent]

Cas 20-4 Hull HT.

Good triumphing over evil!

Hull have actually played well. They've stopped Cas' offloading game by committing at least three, sometimes four players to every tackle but unfortunately they gifted Cas two tries.

Hardaker's broken field solo try was brilliant. Possibly the best player in SL at the minute.

It would be a huge boost for the game for Cas to break the monopoly and take out the prize

I'd be happy with Cas, Salford, Hull or Wakefield winning the Grand Final.

Poor old Liam Watts, it's never his fault you know!

Bring back the biff - shoulder charges must be legal again!

[DavidM]

Penalty for dropping it

Hallelujah to that . Outlaw head contact but we've thrown the baby out with the bath water in to many instances
