Much better effort on Thursday night with some outstanding individual performances from Merrin, Hurrell, Smith, Myler, Walker and Dwyer. IMO Dwyer was the MOM simply because without him we would not have won. Not only for his match winning drop goal and try assist but he made 47 tackles too and his energy kept us buzzing.

The starting pack were solid in defence with Merrin and Smith especially so. Myler had his best game of the season as did Walker who was brave and reliable when under pressure taking the high kicks and he looked energetic and sharp with his carries and passes. I have been a critic of his goal line defence but not his attacking skills. His good footwork in tight situations is a reason I still believe he would make a fine stand off where he would score a lot of tries.

However there is still much to work on as despite our dominance in the first half we allowed Cas to seize the momentum in the second half and we only won because of Dwyer's golden point. This was in part due to the injuries to JJB and Holroyd at the time when Merrin also left the field. But it was also due in part to a lack of game management, a lack of a reliable goal kicker and of allowing the opposition quick ball at the ruck when we should be trying to slow down and prevent easy yards from the other side.

Thought he was excellent. He looks a becoming a very good player. Reminds me of Ablett

So is it acceptable for a so called CAS fan to throw flames in the West Stand. Twice during the game too !

Well seeing no sooner had they lit one, we kicked into the swirling orange smoke and they knocked it on, let them do it continuously at re-starts for me.

You cant teach pork.

McShane charged with a grade D offence. 3-5 games potentially. Should get Powell whinging

Yeah he really seems to have gone full curmudgeon recently.
