BBC haven't yet reported it.....but if it is sub 2k then that's a disgrace.

It was announced as 2k something or other, forget exactly.

Just over 2300 if my hearing was correct. Great day out. Team looked good in attack but still not quite got the defending side sorted yet.

Any news on Kaufusi's injury??

Serious??

Interview after the match all he said was a knock that needed assessing

No spoke to Him after the game more precautionary than anything.

Happy if we can keep Kuafusi off the pitch precautionary, he did stay on the bike all the time he was off so looks like they could have brought him back on if they needed and not needed!!!
good result
Still dont think we look like a top eight team, 5 runs straight up the middle from first reciever, then kick, nothing wide
Dont know why they didnt batter Chase a bit more, he got a wee bit upset when he got hit hard, we could have got a few penalties off him

2380 was the declared crowd.

I thought Cas were poor today but you can only beat what is in front of you and I can't fault the players for effort. Nothing to scare the top teams from us today perhaps but certainly a big improvement on recent games and fair play to them for that. David Howell was a revelation today, more of the same please David.

Remember absent ST holders are counted in. Hopefully we don't get battered away from home next week and the fans come back.



Maybe we should rest Kaufusi against the pies to make sure we take the points off Widnes and have a chance against Wakey

I thought Cas would struggle without Danny Orr in the second half but his replacement, P Bentham did his best for Cas but it want quite good enough.

Goes without saying that today was *much* better than Salford. Still a bit weak in defence but showed much more fizz in attack. Great game to watch and thought atmosphere was ok given the low crowd.

Loved watching the tonking we just gave Cas. Bring on Wigan next week...

....Love your optimism...

It was a good game all round, we started off well but credit Castleford the way they came back, but in the end we had the right mentality something we have lacked, once Cas started with injuries we made them suffer.

Michael Witt at last started to show the talent we know he has!

Okay it is only one win, but we needed it badly & hopefully that can lift the players moral.

Pity we cant play Widnes next before Wigan

Great to get the first win today, but let's not kid ourselves we played against a terrible Cas side, truly I'm hard pressed to remember as poor an SL opposition for some time. On the plus side it should help the players' confidence and it was good to see Dan Sarginson and Tony Clubb in good form.Also that we were able to win with Kafusi off the pitch for most of the game. First half our defence was woeful, much tighter in the second - we'll need to defend like in the second if we want to win a few more! Still plenty of work to be done but maybe , just maybe there's some hope we'll get a few more wins on the board!

Off to sink a few more celebratory ciders!

C'mon London!!!

Everyone just has to keep a grip on reality. Next week is likely to be a thumping. The week after that Broncos should put Widnes to the sword.

After 5 games, my early optimism has been tempered. This remains a bottom-five side. Better than last year, and should be vying for 9th or 10th place as the best of the bottom five above Wakey, Cas, Widnes and Salford. But very difficult to see where any other wins will come from apart from the occasional shock against an off-form better side.

The forwards are ok. They could match all bottom and most mid-table sides. But the threequarters are very weak, and while Gower shows flashes of why he was the Kangaroo half, but there's nothing else there to worry most sides.

Can't agree that we going to be a "bottom 5 side" again. It was just like we may have gelled together as a team at last today; so for at least this weekend I will only see the positives on us tonking them. I won't even start wingeing about how one sided Bentham was against us an so many occasions today...

Why dont you go and support St Helens and stop touting your blx here.

Nuts.

We lose 4 games on the trot, and it's the end of the world, sack the coach, sack the players, it's all a disaster.



We win one game against a really poor team, on a poor run of form, who lost one of their two main playmakers half way through the game, and now it's bring on Wigan, and anyone who suggests we're not actually great is talking .



Are Broncos' fans bipolar ?

Having watched the match, I still can't understand how we managed to score so many. Error-riddled performance - just a few examples : Colbon drops a perfectly good pass when he has a walk-in try, twice after scoring we lose the ball on the first or second play after the k-o, Rinaldi kicks dead trying to be clever at dummy half, Bailey tries unnecessary offload in one of Stevo's "impossible situations", Sarginson catches their short k-o attempt when we'd have had a penalty if he'd left it. And that's without considering our woeful right-side defence.

Cas coach says That was how I saw it too.

However, 8 tries can't be bad, so we got a few things right. Forwards made a lot of ground, especially Bryant, halves played well - Gower looked like an international s-h, albeit an ageing and slowish one. I thought Clubby looked tentative - that damage to his jaw may have dented his confidence. Sarginson did well for a guy who hasn't played for 6 months.

Well done fellas - a convincing win in the end.

Really? He put his hand up constantly, and was playing with his heart on his sleeve, he was my MoM. Took the ball in hard, and tackled hard. And obviously, he was playing at prop, this is a guy that started for us at centre, has played wing, second row, loose forward, and now he's playing as a prop.
For someone who just dislocated his jaw, coming back and starting as a prop, with his other starting prop going off prematurely, he played excellently.

Tim are you serious? I hope Clubb was carrying an injury today as that was his worst performance of the season. He is 2 stone overweight and has to sort it out.

Howell man of the match, closely followed by Gower. Also pleased with Karl.
