Tough luck Cas. Was cheering you on all the way. That little knock on from Shenton just gave Shudds one last chance. The Cas end looked packed out and really impressive. Camera shots of the home fans had to be real close ups to cut off the empty seats!
Think Robinson's reaction to the final hooter showed that it was a big relief for Shudds. I don't know how you pick the "Best" team, but the team that played the most entertaining and fair type of game definitely lost.

I cannot believe the decision making of Mcgoldrick in the last 10 mins of the game, he made so many wrong decisions in the final ten it was beyond belief. He was playing as if you were chasing the game, stupid off loads, running on the last when a simple kick to touch or even dead would have won you the game.....unbelievable considering his experience. if sherwin was on the pitch at that point you would not have lost the game !

Thought it was a great game and a good advert for RL.

Great to see so many Cas fans there.

I thought overall Huddersfield where the best side just.

If you had used your brains in the last 15 minutes I think you would have won, I would have been going nuts if I was a Cas fan with the way you where playing rugby.

Sherwin in the team I think he would have controlled the game more and you would have held on.

Great cup tie.

No one will fancy playing you guys in the play offs.

Beat youselves yesterday, chaps.

What was with throwing the ball about when leading with five minutes to go? I bet Matterson's scalp was red raw after trying to pull what little hair he has out.

We're known as Classy Cas and that's how we play. But really we should have just played one man rugby and kicked.

Wrong. Yesterday the defence was excellent but ultimately overworked because our attack didn't take enough juice out of Huddersfield. When in possession their off-load game moved us around and tired us out but we asked far fewer questions of their defence. Hudds have that bit more quality and it saw them home, just about deservedly because of the chances they created and blew.

I suspect the rest of our season won't be a lot better but it will be an improvement on last year and the name of the license game is progress.

you have just totally contradicted ya self big time!! you start by saying im wrong then go on to talk about how hudds off load game tired you out.

a good defence has the physical and mental toughness to get the job done and a smart defence would do all it could to shut the offload down.

you were physically not up to the task because you couldnt stop huddss scoring and as you said yourself they tierd you out.

you tried to score points even though you were winning that show you are mentally weak and had little faith in your defence to get you home.

and you showed you are not a smart team and played dumb football by not shutting down the offload and tryiing to score when all the pressure was on hudds to win the game.

i love the way cas throw the ball around. your attacking ideas are pretty and slick. but your club need to learn when to holden and when to fold em.

6 point win at Wigan, 2 point win at Catalans, 1 point win at Hull, 2 point win over Bradford, 1 point win over Halifax all point to that being, with all due respect, nonsense.

We've also lost 4 games by small margins.

At the end of the day, some you win, some you lose.

So whats changed then.
Injuries
players playing all over the place.
tiredness
small squad.

We was doing it at the begining why not now.
Did we have the killer instinct at the start, now the team is weaker as the confidence gone.

It's one i just cant weigh up.
