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?

Radford clearly hasn't changed his mindset from last week.

Mamo will obviously never be a centre.

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. 

I linked to a Guardian article in this thread just before the match. Saints flew back on Monday, Wellens told them that Wednesday training was optional, and ever single player turned up.

[MZH]

Evalds isn't having the best time of it. Cas are starting to look a little under the pump now.

[Davo5]

Great break followed by another brain fart,the execution of the final pass by Cas is shocking.

[Gerrumonside ref]

That was high on Widdop

[Gerrumonside ref]

What a hit

[Davo5]

Who was that kick to by Miller ?

Saints.

[MZH]

Well you can't accuse Cas of being negative, some of the execution has been pretty dreadful though.

[dkw]

Been  very good 0-0 this, can we have a sweepstake on how Mamo will bomb the next chance...

[Gerrumonside ref]

Percival’s reverse flick pass then in the build up to that try was sublime.

[Davo5]

Mamo doing a Mamo,again.

[Dunbar]

Jake Mamo is the best and worst player on the pitch.

[Old Frightful]

A Mamo error leads to a Welsby break and eventually a Welsby try.

A bit like Leeds were against Hull FC - some nice-looking breaks which just get horribly fumbled.

[JohnM]

Quick question:  is contact with the head now permissable?

[Gerrumonside ref]

Saints in under the posts through Welsby in a breathless game.

[MZH]

It's been coming. You can't keep being as wasteful as Cas have been and expect to get away with it.

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

I’ll have a fiver on him spontaneously combusting. 

[bratman]

Good game, Cas should have scored a couple by now.

He’s the most frustrating player I’ve ever watched, bar Dave Taylor

Meant to quote this. 

[Old Frightful]

Bell does a Mamo.

I'm going with his shorts fall down while someone in the background plays the Benny Hill theme tune.

It really is, very entertaining, credit to both teams. Radford’s coaching style has clearly evolved. 

It’s been the best SL start to a season I can remember. Very entertaining and high quality games
