Did you not pick up on how many times he referred to Huddersfield last night as hard and tight?

What happened? I've only just switched it on.

Makinson took a firm grip on the game by grabbing 2 dodgy balls !

I don't think the "stamp" is anything - Makinson looked surprised by it. The old squirrel grip will see him in trouble though

Up to an 8 game ban for that, the daft sod. 

[DavidM]

I don’t know the grading for that ?! Is it  a 2 or 3 game ban 

[snapski]

Late again by Taia on Richardson and let go.

I'll go for "jammed in" too!

It's an F isn't it, a Bradford player got that last year.

Cas have shown some balls in that half. For Saints, only Makinson showed any attacking intent.

Makinson had plenty of intent with Watts' balls

I think youre right . It’s not something you see everyday so I’d no idea for a minute there .Be interesting to see 

[dkw]

Well that was dumb. 

[snapski]

Millo done it now and guess what. It is deserved, but hes let it go all game against Richardson.

[Padge]

If Richardson play acted like that every time he's been hit late in this game first half wouldn't be finished yet.

[Saintslass]

I admire good defence but I also enjoy watching the odd try being scored too, preferably by my own side!  Found the first half a bit boring towards the end as a result.  Hopefully a more open game in the second half, hopefully (too) not too open by Saints.  But Cas are playing well and so who knows.

Who knows what Makinson was thinking either.  I had no idea he had that in his game.  I've never seen him or known of him do anything like that before.  Hopefully (for us) he has a good defence but it's hard to imagine what that might be.  

[Barry Badrinath]

And immediately,  next kick, a late shoulder charge on Richardson

[Griff9of13]

Childs conned again; not a hand on LMS when he dropped to the ground there and "wins" the penalty.

It’s been happening all game

Bloke in the orange suit looks a right tool

[GeordieSaint]

Some really good footwork from both sets of forwards close to the defensive line...

It's you isn't it, this is some kind of reverse psychology by you....

I couldn't carry it off. Neither is he.

[snapski]

Oh Millo. One of worst games you've had. 

[Man of Kent]

First job of a commentator is to call the right names. Stuart Pyke too often fails. Poor.

[DavidM]

Great resilience by Cas

Mark Wilson was a breath of fresh air.

Yep - great defence.
