And Dixon too. I stand by what I said last week, the guy can't kick under pressure.

Granted Dicko's no Frano Botica, but he's a decent kicker all the same. The way we're playing this year we're scoring tries out on the wing so the kicks are always going to be tricky. That's maybe the price you pay for 'flair' rugby - we could hire a load of hard b*stards and just grunt it up the middle, but I know what I'd rather watch.

Good game tonight from both sides. V entertaining.

Have had bet on your guys to make the eight this season and saw nothing tonight to make me change my view.

Also so good to see people like Shenton, Owen, Huby and Westerman fulfilling the potential they showed in the National League in 07 and transfer it to SL level.

Good luck for the rest of the season.

He's a decent kicker on his day, and I agree, I would rather watch expansive rugby than bump 'n' barge up the middle. But we've lost two games because of goal kicks now. And thats whats frustrating.

He went off halfway through the first half and didn't come back on. But I saw him walking around in the dugout before half time.

We really missed him tonight.

I think it was Shenton who the Sky guys said had suffered a double dislocation of the finger (it popped out twice and was popped back in twice). I'm amazed he carried on playing. It must have been really painful.

It was a cracking game to watch for us neutrals.

i didnt see him playing 2nd half, he's a very good player with a big future ahead of him.

GOOD LUCK TO CAS REST OF SEASON

Kicking really is a pressure thing.

For example, the last two games at Widnes saw Tim Hartley kick 14 out of 15 and Scott Yates (a 19 year old) kick 11 out of 12. In both games a lot of the kicks were from the touchline. They looked like world beaters but those games ended 88-0 and 70-0.

If it was 26-24 and the result depended on it, It's a different story altogether.

That was Sherwin. I don't think we've heard anything about Shenny yet.

I did not think we played as good as we can do in all honesty. Had alot of the ball but did not really play some of the free flowing attack rugby we are capable of but that was all down to Huddersfields defence. Fair play to them and roll on Friday.
