Was a game of first one team, then the other not respecting possession. And first one team then the other benefitting from that in equal measure. Wire may have turned a corner yesterday, I thought they threw it about and looked dangerous 2nd half. If Wire do continue in that vein then yesterday's point will look even better. We take it and move on. Radders does another week of catching and defensive shape and Yeamo does a few 1 on 1 sessions with Griffo. Overall, were going well enough and we haven't played for 80mins yet.

Cas have one more point than us and their wins have come against the teams in 12th, 11th, 10th, 9th, 8th and 2nd. Our errors in our 3rd of the field are hurting us. I could see us losing to Salford and Leeds, then maybe sneaking a win against Leigh which would likely leave us around 4th after Easter, hopefully then getting Houghton back to relieve the defensive workload;the timing of his loss couldn't be worse TBH. I do think the squad depth point has been over-egged in some parts and we've taken a punt with lack of cover at hooker which has backfired.
I'm not sure it's a mental thing, more that mistakes in our 30 mean we end up defending intensely for long periods which is very draining.
I do believe we have loads of improving in us. Just seems real slow getting to it. 7 in plus friendlies. Not 1 of hulls wins this yr would I have rated against our best 15 wins last. Just saying we're riding our luck a bit. Cas have played similar teams that's true. But it shows in the fact we've muddled past teams and Cas have racked big scores up.

We have only played Toronto in friendly rest was getting work in to the young players. Cas have been near enough full strength since we played them with our young ones 3 month back , they'll collapse like we did last year. Easter will catch them out .

Why do you think they'll collapse. What about them shouts that? Given they've played teams without key men and still whammed them. They put the best part of 70 on leeds without roberts or chase. Cas ain't going anywhere soon imo We played salford as well. That's 2 friendlies and 7 games. Which is still slow getting up to speed. But if you go back wembley was our last performance..But as a team performance if you break it down that wasn't actually that great. Semi v wigan in July was last time we've been really good with a complete performance. In the meantime loads of games with the same issues

You whine about others negativity but can't help yourself when we have a poor patch in a game and xome out with the doom and gloom/we've lost this type comments. You'd think we were bottom of the league with 1 point the way you post at times.
I'm exactly the same as Mrs B though, it's a coping mechanism. Drives my eldest barmy but as I say to him...I've seen us fook up so many times over the years, it's very hard not to look at the negative side when you can feel the momentum shift teams which is exactly what happened at Wigan & Wire.
