Sat 5 Jun: CCSF: Castleford Tigers v Warrington Wolves KO 17:00 (TV)

[Futtocks]

Charnley on the end of a good pass. Castleford 33:20 Warrington

[DavidM]

I was wondering why WIDDOP wasn’t kicking goals 

[Padge]

Warrington need 2 converted scores + 1 other in 15 minutes

[snapski]

Great effort by every player. Nearly everyone looks out on their feet

Yes Warrington looked out on their feet from the first minute. Great effort.

[Padge]

Powell "roll on"

Players "give us a break"

Jordan Turner is the BBC MotM.

Well done Cas.  

[snapski]

Never expected that. Resting all those players last week worked out then. 

[Futtocks]

Well done Cas - that was, yes, a classy performance.

USAWRL Atlanta v Delaware has just kicked off on Twitch, but I really do need to get out of the house at least once today.

[Jim Prendle]

Well played Cas.

Warrington were, well they were Warrington. Some good players but overall mentally weak.

[Padge]

Clinical in attack Cas, I would be a bit worried about letting 20 in when you are facing Saints in the final.

An honest game, well worth watching. Well done Cas. I doubt they'll trouble the Scousers, though.

I think ultimately that made the difference. Castleford looked fresher and ready. Whereas Warrington didn't play with any energy and seemed flat.

And Saints were hanging on until the interception v Hull.

Daryl Powell moaning about something or other.*

 

 

* need not be true.

True, but they were still in front.

I don't think the same tactics that Cas used first half will work against Saints, Powell needs to bolster the defence.

[Leeds Wire]

Congratulations to Cas and their fans, that was a great performance. 

Good luck in the final.

Yep. It’s a final and anything can happen. But saints are big favourites.

I think there’s a Latin motto there that could be stitched into the club badge.

[Manfred Mann]

This match has broader implications. Despite having three outstanding attacking players in Widdop, Clarke and Mamo, Warrington could not get even close to overhauling Castleford. This tells me that Warrington will not be winning the Super League this year, even if by some miracle they even make it to Old Trafford. The team is poorly coached.

Clearly, the only club that can topple St Helens in any final is Catalans.

The draw for the final has been made , and it’s Castleford v St Helens . Should be good 

[Manfred Mann]

At least Warrington fans can look forward to 2022, when they will acquire a very good coach in Daryl Powell.

Incidentally, Powell, who has represented Great Britain as a player, also has extensive experience as a player in Australia.

Well said, as disappointed as I am in our performance, the best team won and were really slick, had they been doing that to someone else it would have been a good watch!

Good luck Cas.

So we're Hull in 1983 HUGE favourites and look how turned out.
