Currie has been superb

He is looking more effective at LF.

Dufty has been involved a lot too.

Currie has had an amazing 40 minutes there. Every touch has either made metres after contact or been a crisp pass.

Overall not a bad half at all against a Cas side who have been no mugs.

Drinkwater & Dufty involved in set up for all 3 tries. Good to see.

Toby King sensibly passing the ball on to the quicker man for the third try.

What pleases me so far as much as anything in that first half is that we've conceded NO (a big fat ZERO) penalties.

No penalties for 10m offside
No penalties for not playing the ball correctly
No penalties for markers not being square
No penalties for head high shots
No penalties for dissent

This must be the first time we've gone through a half like that!
Certainly I can't remember one in all my years of watching.

Vaughan immense as usual.
Interesting the subtle changes we did after they scored. Slightly deeper and timing slightly better. Small margins.

Big question mark over Thewlis tonight so far...

Thewlis is a good player but tonight has been one to forget.

Can we just get rid of video ref, how many looks do they need.

Fantastic defensive set from us there. Our completion is good, discipline is great. Line speed has been great and we are putting together some nice attacking shapes.

This is much more like it.
