Just watching the Saints v Cas game on TV. Don’t see anything to be afraid of here!

Superb defensive team but if they can't bully you into submission they seem to be sorely lacking a plan b

Tommy Martyn rolled the entertainers line out pre game.

Still a character the bloke.

They were poor and a better side, or even a more disciplined Cas, would have rolled them over.

Was a scrappy win but they happen. Worrying part I imagine for saints is 1 point win vs Wakefield a battering by Salford and a game that should have been put to bed was allowed to be blown wide open. The miss match of Farimo to the young lad on the wing was shocking. Going off form and desire (teams fighting to survive and stay in top 6)you’d imagine all the games for saints should be difficult. Think our game and the KR game should be the break for them

The style of rugby is very Bradford Bulls under Brian Noble. Big bodies pounding you into submission. Successful but boring to watch but results are what its about and it will take a good performance in a knockout game to beat them

Saints have now started selling tickets for the game on Friday 26th. Wasn't this one heavily rumoured to be moving? I will probably get tickets anyway but it surprised me when they went on sale before the SKY picks had been announced.

There was speculation that the game would be moved as the Latics are at home on the Saturday. However, unless Sky moves the match to another day it will be played on the Friday.

Pretty unconvinced by Saints today, they should have dismantled Cas as they were woeful for the vast majority of the game. At 20-0 Saints of old would have gone on to put another 2-3 scores on them with ease but instead they limped home by letting in three tries which thankfully for them were all unconverted.

I agree Saints of old would have put Cas to the sword this one however are over rated and living on the past when they were superior in my opinion.

The young lad on the wing (Dan Hill ) hurt his shoulder early on i'm amazed Cas didn't target him more
