I thought we were at our best against Cas personally.

Some of the rugby was scintillating.

Still, I am sure moaning whinos will dismiss it for some reason or another.

i think we are selecting vintage performances i agree with what you said about the Cas game too.
these performances were of a very high calibre only great sides like leeds and maybe saints can produce

I wasnt there so can only comment on the games I have seen but watching the extended highlights on SLTV Cas' defence was the worst I have seen from a SL team.

wrong. we exposed the gaps by picking out the weak defenders and with great dummy runners,by running great lines and some supurb passing and handling

Depends what is meant by "best". I guess this team isn't the same as previous years so the best for this team will be different to the best for a team containing the likes of Gareth Ellis, Scruton etc. I'd say we have played at our best for patches of games - a little like everyone else does, and probably for most of the 80 minutes against Cas (unfortunately for them).
It's a little odd the way we started the year defending really well, but not really free flowing in attack, then as the year has progressed our games have turned into shoot-outs. It's the old story of getting the whole game - attack and defence - to fire all at once. It's not easy for any team and the opposition are overall a bit better this year making it more difficult.
Maybe we can't play better than we have already, but if we could combine that early season defensive discipline with the improved attacking play we've shown (especially now Smith and Donald are looking dangerous on the right - and Webb seems to have found his try scoring touch again), we will be very hard to beat. But that's a very big "if".

True, but they did give up in the 2nd half, which Leeds pounced on superbly.

They should never had given up. Their heads went.

I disagree.

Yes they were ripped to pieces, but they did have a choice.

They chose to give up.

There is always a choice.

At much lower levels i have experienced many ruthless beatings, but you get up and carry on.

So if I could do that, like many others do, i would expect more from a group of professionals in their GF.
