Hicks and Child (among others) are far, far too whistle happy. Look at Wembley, neither side had anything to say about Hewer because he just let it flow, which meant letting things go for both sides.

Madness, i thought they looked very dangerous, unbelievable amount of offloads, we scrambled so well though.

If they avoid big injuries they won't be far off a final, good side with an excellent coach.

The only thing that has annoyed me from Cas fans is saying that it was our tactics to deliberately injury Gale and they suffered more from his injury then we did when down to 12.

We where 18-0 when both Gale and Watts where on the field

Dont think it needed him to sprawl out like he had being shot or the rest of the Cas team running in.

Deffo think thats what got him sent off.

Cas are still a top side and great to watch.

Thought they played well and threw everything at us but our defence scrambled superbly.

Just because we didn't lay down and let them steamroller us they seem to be criticizing their players but think we deserve more credit than they are giving us.

I did think Cas needed to be a bit more direct at times. The offloading and passing across the line looked pretty but alot of the time it was just passing for the sake of passing and we were able to just hold off and let them run themselves out of space. Thats being very critical though, because they still asked alot of questions and most teams would have been absolutely destroyed by their second half performance. Its the 18-0 that you would be more disappointed with as a Cas fan. The fact they couldnt come back was definately more down to our determination than any poor play by them.

You know Gale has a broken jaw, right?

where is this confirmed?

Is isn't. Gale's been tweeting with Watts tonight, no mention of it!

just as i thought, saw the tweets

guess its another fan diagnosis!

Yeah, I thought he should have gone himself and would have scored
