Cas to play their best game of the season and Hull to be already on the beach.

Looks to me like a good opportunity for Cas to more or less ensure survival against opponents who are in poor form and who have nothing at stake. 

I think it's an opportunity they'll take.

Probably but it's not over yet. Do you think your lot were trying?

[Gates1]

Hull were trying in my opinion, lacked direction in the half's though. I'd have that as, by far, the best Cas performance of the season.   Despite umpteen silly mistakes!   Some real defensive clutch plays, from Wallis and Broadbent, in particular.  More threatening going forward than we have been all year.

Austin's in play kicking is a world apart from what Cas have been doing all year, huge difference to be fair.  Pretty much every kick is effective one way or another.

Wouldn't know. I was unable to listen to it last night so couldn't give any details on the game other than the score. Think we were "on the beach" by the sound of it though.

We've looked out of sorts for a few weeks now, particularly in defence (something that improved massively in the middle of the season). In attack, we've been guilty of trying too hard and pushing plays that weren't on and turning the ball over. We're we like that last night?

Yes, some of the stuff we came up with was brainless. We were continually pushing plays that weren't on and the pass Tex Hoy threw for the interception was one of the worst you'll ever see. I know we were missing both our halves but that's no excuse for the rubbish we served up. You have to be able to adapt to losing a player or two. It happens.

Despite the best efforts of TransPennine Express I got there just in time for the start of the game. They should have done me a favour and just cancelled.

We've both been watching our team long enough to know what was coming last night. I'd like to say I was surprised by just how abject a performance it was but I wasn't.
