Sun 26th Feb: SL: Castleford Tigers v St Helens KO 13:00

[Old Frightful]

The prize of a sausage roll....is that Adam Hill's sense of humour with a reference to Greggs by any chance?

[Gerrumonside ref]

A huge let off there for Saints.

[Futtocks]

Almost a dream start for Cas!

[dkw]

Cas going side to side to stretch Saints early, hoping to catch them out and run their legs off.

[Old Frightful]

Bloody hell...almost a perfect start for Cas until Evalds' butterfingers.

[Davo5]

If Carlsberg did bombed tries.

[MZH]

Generally, you don't blow chances like that against Saints and go on to win, but at this stage it's still to early to tell what sort of shape Saints are in today.

[Gerrumonside ref]

Percy looks hurt

[Old Frightful]

Saints are certainly not quite at the races but Cas unable to convert decent chances into points.

[Davo5]

Another bombed chance for Cas.

[MZH]

Cas have played some good rugby early on but very very wasteful. Three clear scoring chances and 0 points on the board. It almost feels inevitable that Saints are going to score the first time they get down that end.

[Gerrumonside ref]

Wow, some effort by Ritson

Edit: No try, in touch

Gut feeling was that his feet hit the ground before the ball did.

Almost!

[Old Frightful]

Fantastic effort from Ritson but no try.

And I was right. Someone give me a flag

You were wrong, it was his knee.

Please try and pay better attention in future.

Couldn't understand why Broadbent didn't just go for the orthodox pass instead of trying to be clever with the the flick pass.

Cas error and I doubt Saints will waste this opportunity.

[Gerrumonside ref]

Mellor definitely heard footsteps prior to that knock on!

[Dunbar]

Testament to the professionalism of the Saints club that they look switched on for this one.  They could easily be excused of having a literal WCC hangover. 

[Gerrumonside ref]

The ball takes a Cas bounce after Walmsley’s attempted offload 

[johnh1]

Walmsley gets six again for pushing the marker at the play the ball. 

[MZH]

That was ridiculous by Faraimo in defence. He made the tackle, so no harm done, but what's he flying in field like that for?

[Gerrumonside ref]

Cas undone by the support play again?
