Morning all!
Think a lot of cas and Hull fans have missed the point in this game for me. I think both teams on and off the field have massive respect for one and other, that much is obvious. Hull are the only team who have successfully dealt with cas up to now, which considering how dominant we have been deserves a lot of credit.
This was never gonna be a game where you saw cas throwing the ball around and at 100mph. Our game against middling opposition has been "high risk high reward" which simply hasn't worked against Hull.
Neither team will absolutely blow the other away, if we play each other another 10 times, there's only gonna be 1 or 2 scores in it either way.
As such, cas played a far more low risk game last night and for the majority did a very good job. Defended well, and capitalised on opportunities. Hull, lost the game as they didn't perhaps capitalise on the field position they had in the first half. As such the scoreline seemed a little harsh at 20-4.
Whilst I agree that cas weren't at their attacking best, and created very few of their own chances, I think that was more out of respect for a very tough Hull side, and once we got our lead we tried to play more of a percentages game. At 20-4 there was no need to be overly expansive.
That being said, our game management fell apart in the last 15 and credit to Hull for almost fully taking advantage of that.
We didn't learn much last night that we don't know already - we will meet at least once before the season ends, and its gonna be tight either way.
Credit to you guys who came over, all the best in the CC and see you again in a month or so
