At each scrum, every time he shouts 'clock off' I am certain he's saying something else!

I don't even know why he has to shout 'shot clock off' every time the scrum is over.  If the scrum is completed in the allotted time then the game just continues... if the clock runs out then it is a penalty.  This call is completely redundant.

Miloudi again all over the place 

[Denton Rovers RLFC]

half the Cas pack not even down there.

[Man of Kent]

Shenny over. Cas deservedly go into the break in front.

14-12 HT.

[Jill Halfpenny fan]

Disturbingly familiar HT score for Hull.

He was marking 3 men. Did exactly the right thing by trying to pressure the ball carrier.

A very even game IMO. Why do you think Cas are ‘deservedly’ in front?

[Gerrumonside ref]

Good game - wouldn’t like to say who will go on to win it.

Looked the better side to my eyes. 

[Jeff Stein]

Another enjoyable game. Looked like Cas could run away with it, but with Connor back in the team Hull began to look much more confident and dangerous going forward. Cas were very up and down, but always looked like they could score if they put their mind to it. The missed kicks may punish them. I am sure Sneyd would have kicked them.

The battle between Watts and Taylor is great. Watts ahead.

[Denton Rovers RLFC]

At least we are in the game, some spark here and there and beautiful kick and catch by Connor, good run by Shaul but still disjointed and our forwards are lacking. Danny Houghton looked nowhere near his peak either.

I think there is a lot to be encouraged about there. Cas a very good side but we are giving as good as we are getting and asking plenty of questions. 

We really need this win to get the confidence back though. Another valiant defeat would be tough to take.

Before the game I said Cas would narrowly win. Now they’re narrowly winning i’m going to change my mind. 

[johnh1]

Cas took the ball before it bounced over the dead ball line. Shouldn't that have been a drop out?

[corvusxiii]

Thinking Kendal is having a mint game after Jimmy the kid last week.

[MZH]

Didn't need a replay to see that was obstruction. Waste of a great opportunity. 

[MZH]

And that's the game.

[Padge]

Ridiculous, throwing yourself into a player is not obstruction.

Watts made a meal of it

[DavidM]

McShane has a deft touch with those short kicks

Funnily enough after saying you didn't need to see a replay, after watching a couple of replays I thought it looked more like a try.

[Man of Kent]

Connor again. Fabulous player 

[Man of Kent]

24-18 Cas after 59

[Padge]

Justice done, Hull score a try with a more realistic obstruction taking place.
