Well done Cas. Not a classic but its 2 points for you and sod all for Rhinos. How on earth did they beat Sainta?

Would like to say working a late today was an example of my better decision making but it wasn't...

2 wins from 5 against 2 of the bottom 3. Captain leaving the club. Losing to the other side in the bottom 3 who haven't won all season. 

Not good.

It’s the RL God’s revenge for gatecrashing the Saints’ homecoming party!

 

[Padge]

It's the ref's fault, oh I best shut up.

There was a clause in the contract.

It’s almost as if sides can play well one week and rubbish the next, like its sport or something.

God  match well done Cas pleased for their fans

Because I haven't watched this one, I'm going to say it was worth it.

What does Sezer bring to the table ??

A lot of amusement to Huddersfield fans after the way he left us as he didn't want to play for a team near the bottom

 

He couldn't be bothered putting the effort in more like, it appears not much has changed in his time at Leeds

[DoubleD]

2 poor teams, Leeds should’ve won but they played that badly they handed it to Cas on a plate with that second half performance

Strange you didn’t bring this up in the last two weeks

Sezer was not the issue tonight

[Dave T]

Think some of the commentary here is a bit grumpy, I enjoyed that a fair bit. 

But then I do wonder if I was watching a different game, because I didn't really agree with the Leeds pundit panel that Sky brought in for this game that Cas were clinging on and Leeds would step up.

I didn't bring it up, I just replied

Haven't seen any games apart from the C4 and Giants games so wouldn't be fair to comment on his performances

Surely this means Leeds shouldn't have won.

I wasn’t wowed by the skill factor most of the night, but it was close and tense enough to keep me happily typing away on here.

With a lot of Loiners in the pub tonight and Yes, it seems less about a sporting outcome than a breakdown of the natural order of things. Tbf I see this in all sorts of places including WR.

Every game cannot be a classic fast running, free flowing and defence master piece of tactical prowess with a scorline close to the fiinal seconds.

At least it was a close fought game which kept you watching and didn't have extreme lengths of dullness that other rugby type ganes can offer.

I think whoever won tonight could count themselves lucky as most of the league barring Wakefield would've beaten both teams tonight to be honest. Was pretty poor on both sides.

This is true.

It was a shocking game of Rugby Cas were the better side and could only score one try more and if Olpherts hadn’t have bottled it they could have still lost.

Very poor all round, not that Cas will care

Coming from the very opposite direction I feel embarrassed that Cas actually won and therefore I offer my  apologies on their behalf.

Right, about sporting contests......

[Wakey Til I Die]

The better side won in the end. ###### game yes but given where Cas were going into the game it’s not a shock they would be edgy. Leeds though are hugely over-hyped by some. Makinson doesn’t miss a sitter the lose that game against Saints. They’d have lost to anyone else but us last week as well. They won’t be anywhere near the top 6 come the end of the season.

Fair play Cas wanted that more but that was one dire game 

We see enough games involving Leeds to expect this as the norm, last week at Saints was an exception, that was exciting.

Glad I've been working a late shift and missed this

How does an academic like you Thomas work late shifts? Just wondering.
