Due to the shortcomings at Hull FC, Cas by 30.

[Old Frightful]

Just realised Cas are playing in the game after us tonight so their turn around is even shorter.

[snapski]

I GIVE UP. 

[corvusxiii]

Disappointment in The Rock. Jublilation in The Rock. 6 to Cas.

[snapski]

3 strips, 3 wrong calls. 

[snapski]

Another Cas player man handled below the belt. What is going on post covid. 

[snapski]

Would have been a penalty anyway. Shenton needs to concentrate on getting the ball instead of obstructing. It’s every game.

Cas make yards and yards almost every set, get to the last 10 almost every set  and I'm being told Warrington defence is good.

Yep their goal line defence has been solid , but the overall defence really poor. Just wish the commentators would not exaggerate about how good warrington defence was this half.

Unless of course defence only starts in the last 10.

[snapski]

Wire have weathered the storm. I expect them to pull away 2nd half. 

[redjonn]

Now its much better defence from Warrinton....

[snapski]

Really good game 

[snapski]

Thought Milner should have gone in the bin at least for that.

[snapski]

1missed tackle and all that good work thrown away. Enjoyed it. We were fantastic.

[ELBOWSEYE]

Outstanding determination from Warrington, great try to win the game.

yep Cas where good.  Little unlucky as I would have given a penalty try on the kick forward - Cas player had momentum towards the ball, warrington defender was still turning so for me Cas player would have got to the ball first.

Plus I still think the knee in the back for Warringtons try should have been a penalty to Cas.

Never-the-less a really enjoyable game to watch and almost on edge of seat as to whom was going to win. Warrington line defence being excellent, although not sure if Cas could have been better attacking.

Which knee in the back.

wrong game I meant to include the double movement but cut and pasted my comment  over writing commentary I made for Hull game.. hence my sentence confused. 

Sorry

I tend to write comment first then cut and paste into the thread and was over writing previous comments whilst doing other things,...  namely looking after grand child whilst typing with one hand... a dexterity I have not mastered yet

Don't you understand what the new modern game is about?  It's generally easy to make yards down the middle.  Whats important is what happens in the last  11yards.

And Cas did not have the wit in the last 11yards.  Wire tried a lot of high kicks to the corners with no effect.  In the end it took one act of carelessness from Cas and a bit of luck from Wire.

[Futtocks]

Good to read what will happen in a match that starts in two days' time. Time to leg it down to the bookies.

How many times have you dropped the grandchild so far?

No worries thought I’d missed something.
