Sat 22nd Feb: SL: Castleford Tigers v St Helens KO 20:00 (SS+/SL+)

[Trojan Horse]

Paper thin defence from Cas. Saints not having to do anything special other than couple plays and run forward. 

[Szymala]

Huge wins for Wigan, Leeds & Saints - looks like no new name is going on the SL trophy in its 30th season.

Who got the Cas' try ? I heard Pyke throw 3 names into the mix ?

Don’t tell him Pyke. 

[Gerrumonside ref]

Great tackle to end a Cas attack after a near ‘don’t let it bounce’ #### up by Sannts

Can you explain what DR is please ? 

Sounds like the coach opted for Robertson over Hurrell and hasn't been proved wrong yet.

Hurrell at Halifax at the moment? On loan ? 

DR is dual registration - it's a system that allows clubs to link with others at other tiers of RL to loan players on a match by match basis.

@The Blues Ox is a Halifax fan - Saints have a DR agreement with Halifax and Hurrell has been sent to Halifax last week and this week.

The Ox is joking as on this performance Robertson would play better for Halifax.

[bratman]

Welsby back to his best? 

[Gerrumonside ref]

In again near the corner and Cas Tigers being brushed aside now in the second half.

[Wollo Wollo Wayoo]

Harry Roberts in 

Again.

[corvusxiii]

Glad the Ref penalised that epic laying on by cynical Cas.

Hard to say against poor defence like this. Cas defensive structure has been all at sea today.  Most fullbacks would looks good joining the line tonight. 
 

Wellsby has always been a quality fullback though. 

[MZH]

Cas won't be winning many games with that pack. All Saints have had to do is make a couple of strong carries and they are on the attack again. The difference in the metres must be massive

[Gerrumonside ref]

Class full back work by Welsby to prevent the try and then drag his man into touch.

[DoubleD]

Rooney glided past Robertson there but Welsby too good. It’s good to see Cas finally producing some promising youngsters though 

[Futtocks]

Looks like Welsby's getting the PotM award tonight.

[bratman]

Some terrible Cas defence for that one though

[PREPOSTEROUS]

muckymunksy was close with his prediction.

[The Partisan]

That was great foresight and play by Welsby. 

Obviously saw something in the Tigers defence and went for it.

It’s called complacency and surrender I think.

[Gerrumonside ref]

Bennison in down the left wing this time and he’s one of our young prospects.  Cas have capitulated totally in the last 29 mins.  Cas 6-46 Saints

Cas doing a great impression of Salford's Academy tonight.

He is not smart or ambitious though is he, what was he thinking signing a long contract with that lot

[Barry Badrinath]

Have saints put down a marker?  Someone help Stuart pyke out. He'll be asking that when he gets home.

[Josef K]

Saints goal kicking was average again, it feels as if Wellens doesn’t seem to be mind that though.

Hurrell at Halifax at the moment? On loan ? 

It allows SL clubs to save money on running reserve teams, whilst distorting lower tier competitions.
