Castleford Win But St Helens Kids Impress





Castleford's Mend-A-Hose Jungle played host to a clash between two widely different teams: a home club still struggling to find any consistent form in its 'new era' – despite getting two of their three wins this season over the Easter weekend - and the visiting champions St Helens, who have lost just one game in defence of their title so far and that a surprise loss to basement club Toulouse Olympique.
Following that busy schedule, Saints coach Kristian Wolf names an unfamiliar line-up after the strains of the Easter schedule, with seven young players moving up from the reserves where they regularly play together.
The Tigers' Lee Radford resisted the temptation to make whole-sale changes, but injury meant James Clare started at full-back while youngster Jason Qareqare had his first start of the year on the left wing.

Very enjoyable game that, at 18-10 Cas had to step up as they didn't dominate down the middle everything went to the edges.

Some of those Saints young guns look as though they have a promising future on the back of that performance.






The new young dynasty of super saints is coming to a ground near you.
Welsby-Dodd-Simms-Eaves-Rizzelli, not Eastmond...the future is coming.

Only one team came out of that game with 2 points and that is the main thing.

It got interesting when the scoreline went to 18-10, Cas had to step on the remaining gas they had to pull away. I thought what could have been an embarrassing negative turned out to be an interesting positive on youth development.

Thought Cas struggled a bit to dominate down the middle for 60 mins but the last 20 mins the young saints side struggled to set a good defensive line and Cas got fast rucks with McShane controlling the game.

Well done Cas for playing in the right spirit and showing respect to the young saints, hopefully normal service will be resumed when they come to our place.

Cas were too impatient, especially in the first 40.
They needed to be happy to finish their sets on the Saints line but, instead, tried for miracle passes and finishing their sets badly.

Yes, the Saints youngsters stood up well and there are indeed some fine prospects for Saints.
