Oh Jesus why can’t they get Myler playing like that every week. Looked as good as any half back tonight, simply superb. As for the Walker knockers, a massive LOL, simply brilliant. Merrin and Dwyer, brilliant. Thought Singleton went well too.

What a difference without Ferres, and some said we would miss his defence. What the hell, far better defence without him.

Thought Sutcliffe pretty poor, but is it because of him Myler so much better.

Myler was great in many areas especially his energy and looking to get his hands on the ball. Kicking though again was awful and that's a huge indicator and influence on where the team have been this year so far.

A win in that manner is just what this team needed IMO, yes we dropped off in a calamitous 20minute spell again but, they got through it and it will give them confidence, remember this is our monkey on the back team, we haven’t beaten them for is it 11 straight league games.

Thhought the Watkins knock on was an absolute joke if im honest but hey ho.

Walker was the best player on the pitch and I was chuffed for Merrin to get over and start patting the badge. Hurrell is a real entertaining machine and even with his customary error I’m glad we signed him.

On another note Im glad mcshane ballesd it up for them because he shouldn’t have been on the field

It wasn’t perfect by any stretch but I’ll take the 2 points.

Edited to add chuffed for Furner aswell that meant a lot to him

McDermott after the Toronto game last week said “aslong as youre not telling me were 11th, thats ok” with a wry smile.

Unfortunately, were in this position, and this leaves us open to “catty comments”. Weve just got to lump it. Its not nice but, so be it. As the great D-ream once said, “Thiiiiinnngggs can only get betttttteeerrrrrr”.

I really don’t think you can draw from that game that Ferres being absent was the reason our defence was better. I think it shows we might be a better side without him in it.
We did look better organised in D; was more pleased with Sutcliffe and Smith in defence tonight, both good.

Leeds are such a frustrating side to watch. 20-4 up we should be doing a Saints on them and pushing on, but no we have to find a way to brain fart when we get in control, and try to throw the game away. We simply cannot defend more than 1 or 2 sets near our own line.

Another plus though for me is the age of lads there that beat Cas: Holroyd, Oledski, Walker, Smith all 20 and under and all contributed well. Give those boys another 4 years at this level and they’ll be fantastic for us.

Hes a tit

Thought Cameron Smith played himself into the starting spot.

A good point has just been made we are quite a young side, Oledski, Walker, Handley, Smith and now Holroyd all playing well, if we can tough this season out the future is bright if they kick on

I'm really concerned about Watkins and really gutted as he was a superstar before his injury.. is it just fitness do we think or is it more concerning.... will he be the same again?

Massive win even though we did our best to bugger it up 2nd half.
I thought Walker was outstanding as were Hurrell Dwyer & tbh from 1-17 they put a shift in.
Singleton took Ferres' dumb penalties mantle tonight 2 stupid ones leading to trys & giving them momentum but how one sided was Thaler again?
How was Mcshanes elbow in Mylers face not even a yellow card or the 3 blatant ball strips given as knick ons?
I still maintain we are desperate for quality adding & i still fail to see what Lowes offers on ths staff.
However a huge win that hopefully will give us confidence to go on a winning run.0

Hes only a few games back from a very serious injury he still needs some time

Also I wouldn’t write Tui off just yet, I think being dropped may give him the kick up the he needs to get fit, he is a talented player and still only 24

Immediate thiught reicon_razz.gifowell,how would he know ,as a coach,what its like to win a cup?

Merrin was my personnel Mom up to the 80 minute mark, Hurrel was his usual rocks and diamonds but his brilliance outweighs his silly mistakes for my money and makes more yards after initial contact than anyone else in the team. Walker showed why he's 1st choice fb and Myler had his best game for the club to date. Still not convinced about Singleton, interested to see his stats and how many meters he carried especially after first contact

Did cas have any injuries tonight? Cos Powell has failed to mention it/use it as an excuse for the last month!

Thought Merrin was fantastic. It was like watching Peacock the way he just kept going making good drive after good drive.
Walker obviously great too. Whatever shortcomings he has we have to stick with him. He’s too good to let slip away.
Myler had his best game I’ve seen in a Leeds shirt.

Lots of good performances there and it shows the desire is clearly there.

Don’t know how McShane got away without a sinbin at least. I get the ref might not have seen it fully but neither did Hicks see the Brett Ferres incident last week and the video ref clearly told him what had happened, so why not tonight. Any suspension he gets won’t help us at all.

Powell really is a pillock. He makes Shaun Wane look gracious. If Powell’s attitude remains like that then both he and Cas will remain small time.

I’ve always thought that Powell’s blame everything on everyone else attitude is why he’s not won anything as a coach! He is I think a good coach but not the messiah that people (especially on this forum) make him out to be.

I do think the group of players we have has the desire and passion to do something, were maybe just a couple of players short. I think Tui or Mclennan might get a shot next week as I think Myler may get a ban for the spear tackle!

Much better. We still have a huge problem mentally once we get a lead, and our kicking game is terrible, but we did very well to hold on and get the win in the end. Walker was very good, as was Myler - now do it again next week.

A good result for you, this will do your confidence good. The team need to build on it now if they can. Cas are like a few teams ATM hit and miss other than STS and Wire the league is all over the place!

Just needed the win last night and job done.would have been a real heart breaker to lose another tight game.

As for Powell, of course the players celebrated like they did because of the reason above. We were getting into a desperate situation and needed the points badly. Hopefully we can kick on a bit now; still lots of work to do in defence especially goal line but i'm sure Furner realises that and it will get better.

I have been a Critic of Singleton, but he played very well last night, only fair he gets credit. He is getting stick that doesn’t match up. He was especially good in the collision last night, which he hasn’t been previously. Ten carries and 86 metres, our best average gain in the pack. 33 tackles and 2 misses. For a sub he worked himself in well.

Cameron Smith stats, wow. Top tackler and 127 metres carried.

Thought all the youngsters were brilliant. Mentions also for Myler, Merrin & Hurrell. Delighted for Furner. Here's hoping it's not a false dawn and we continue to build from here.

Thought Powell was very gracious in defeat. A lot of coaches would have mentioned their injuries, blamed the ref, blamed their bad luck and given no acknowledgement to the opposition. The guy's a class act.

How would he know what it's like to win a cup? How long is it Cas?

Even Shaun Wane used to praise the opposition when Wigan lost and it was rare he’d blame anyone but his own team.
Powell has looked daft 2 weeks in a row now.

Really bizarre this weird praise for Myler, he was bang average again last night, his crappy negative kicks for touch like it's an achievement, well I suppose it is an achievement for him when he doesn't punt it out on the full but he wasn't a big player for you last night; walker Merrin Smith and singleton can take that mention.
