Yes the DVD should be in the shop by tomorrow.

I can't think of any of our tries that could have come from a knock on? Bare in mind another try of Cas' was clearly a forward pass but then not sure if he gave any forward passes all night. They seem to let them go more in super league than in our league

what hours does the shop open??

If this had been a football game we would be hearing about till next years final but we will be lucky to get a mention in some media, it sounded a real classic game of rugby league i bet BBC are wishing they choose your game now all them tries leading changing hands a number of occasions this is why rugby league is the greatest game.

Very true. Rugby is unique in the fact that if you do the basics of tackling, kicking and passing well for the duration of the game, you'll give yourself the best chance to win, no matter what level you pay at. Halifax showed it yesterday and it would have been a great advert for rugby as a whole.

The game was freakin' awsome!! We were unlucky and I honestly believe golden goal doesn't work for football and golden point is even worse for rugby, we could have had 20 minutes extension of a fantastic game.

The best game EVER?

Not sure, but it was certainly one of the best I have seen EVER!

Hats off to both teams for some great entertainment. A cracking spectacle!

I thought we played some truly exceptional rugby...a brand that is seldom seen in SL.

It was quite surreal after the game, there were just hundreds of people just stood talking about what might have been, and in no particular hurry to leave the ground!

One was dodgy in the build up to one of our tries yer but where was the other one???
The Cas knock on was blatant yet Ganson and the TJ let it go, the thing was that it was such a dead cert knock on our lads stopped for a few seconds and that cost us the try imo

Certainly one of the best games I have seen in the forty+ years I've been watching Cas, only spoilt by the feeling that victory was totally undeserved.
We were second best in every department and simply couldn't cope with your offload game and brilliant second phase attack. I would say you're due for some good luck down the line but I suspect you won't need it.
