Agree with this, McIlorum missed double figure tackles on Friday but having watched him for 15 years, I assume he was flying out of the line, aggressively causing big disruption on the ball carriers.



Morgan Knowles is the same, always high on missed tackles but when you meet the ball carrier after the 2/3 metres you can miss the tackle so long as your team mates finish the tackle after 5metres.

Cas will be fine. They went toe to toe for half an hour around the middle but Saints are too good there. They’ll test us on Friday in that area and I wouldn’t be surprised if we buckle.

Cas left so many points out there. At least one of those times Mamo broke down the left, he surely could have scored himself instead of risking an inside pass. i think they'll test us too. It's never an easy place to go to.



And if Jordan Turner could hang onto the ball...

I think yesterday was a difficult barometer in which to gauge Cas. I expected a scratchy performance from us and thats what we gave with the number of players missing and the travel etc



I don't think you'll struggle against them although they are a bogey side at the Jungle from memory for you? The tight pitch won't suit the speedsters you have but I think you'll have way too much.

It’s a good test for our squad both of us looked good in attack but poor in defence (we have now improved) I’m still confident of the win but if it’s a strong win I’ll be confident we’re more on track and can almost put the KR game to bed.



The edge with Burimo looked suspect in defence but French and King are the same. Hopefully having Isa on that side will sure us up and we can introduce KPP later in the game. Cas seemed to be gassed the last 20 mins of the game

Short turn around for Cas, reckon they'll start at 100mph and try and put some points on us, if we're within 6 after 30mins then we'll have them in the 2nd half
