A fairly competent performance against a desperately poor Castleford side. I was concerned upon seeing their 17 as on paper I thought we were going to be in for a long afternoon.
However I was pleasantly surprised by the way our blokes stood up and put in a level of effort I haven't seen in 18 months. We bossed the game for 80 minutes - the first Cas try was never grounded but a bit of a cock up positioning wise by Dixon and their second was a very sloppy effort by 3 individuals who otherwise had excellent games. Other than that, it was our usual inabilty to convert territory to points that cost us the lead at half time.
Our defence was quality from 1-17. Bailey was outstanding. Robertson brilliant at full back. Will Lovell even impressed. Today was the first time I have noticed how vocal Channing is, winding up his opposites and he backed that up today with having Webster firmly in his pocket. Colbon also excellent on that wing.
Tony Clubb got a good run out today and I'm really starting to think he could be one of our top players for years to come. I just wish he would develop a nasty streak as I don't think many in the League would be capable of mixing it with him if he put his mind to it.
Even Witt played well!
