Very impressed today.

Agree that Theo is a better interchange hooker than Howarth,and Lee was very effective today.

Smith looked a different player with Rangi playing.

Strong defence with Tasi ,HH and Dixon outstanding.

Don't understand the criticism of Tony Puletua

Well I thought Puletea had a good game. Meli wasnt fit was he? Mullaney is looking a threat now Rangi is back. Sean Long`s involvement there for all to see. Some good stuff from Cas & a good game all round indeed.

I thought TP & Meli were average, haven't been impressed by them all season. They're not bad players at all but they are past their best. After this season I think they'll need to be replaced, that's all.



I'm not crying for their heads or anything before anyone gets upset.



Again, it was a good team performance & the lads collectively showed a lot of character in the second half.



Personally think Mullaney has been a threat all season, he must have been involved in at least 1/3 of our tries so far.

I remember being called all the names under the sun for suggesting Theo would be a good interchange hooker in preseason.



Always nice to be proved right.

Agree with all above posts.

Chase made the difference , not only in the obvious danger he presents with seemingly several options with ball in hand; (must be a nightmare to defend against ) but also in the way that lifts the whole team . Generally much quicker movement at the ruck.

Definitely like Theo as the interchange hooker, can't see Howarth now getting a look in if both Lee and Theo stay fit .



As for Cas - great turnout from fans. Carney's thighs are bigger than Junior Sau's which is saying something !

Loved the cameo Cas cats woman haranguing Childs at the scrum towards the end !

I hear you, I've said countless times that if he is good enough to be a replacement hooker in a world cup for his national side he is good enough for Salford. Going forward he adds much more than Howarth ever will.



Thought S'au looks like he wants the ball as much as possible going forward and that in defense it will take something good too run over him.



I thought TP was much more effective when on the field than McPherson who for me faces the biggest struggle to stay at the club come the end of the season.



Dixon shows what an asset he is with a fine all round performance.



Mullaney again showed he will be our best buy this season and for me did so being injured for a large part of the game.



Tasi seems not to be making the yards he was and I wonder if he needs to be taking the ball deeper to gaib greater momentum.





All in all think we saw just exactly hot much we have missed Chase so far this season, I'll be honest today was also the first time I've seen Smith justify all the hype, doubt that Smith playing better and Chase returning isn't linked.



If I could ask for a couple of things come the end of the season it would be that the Doc goes all out to bring Carney and Clarke in think they would make a massive difference to the current squad.

I think you might just get your wish with one of them.

first of all the best team won and deserved to win but for me the game was not good it was poor because of one man in the middle not just for Cas but both teams I played for 20 years and watched for 40 and Childs put the worst performance I have ever seen of a Ref. Again I will say well done best team won.

Agreed about Childs, lost count of the number of times I couldn't actually figure why he had blown for something, but then at other missed the most obvious infractions.

Hang on,that's a bit extreme.

Childs had a poor game,he's a poor ref.

He made several obvious mistakes.

But,we saw a good game of Rugby and the ref was a part of that.

I've seen far worse reffing displays over the years,today's wouldn't have made my top ten worst displays

The big clubs get all the decisions.

Can someone suggest where I can buy a new ironyometer? Mine started to get a little overheated in the first half when Cas fans were calling Salford a 's***hole', then gave up the ghost when Daryl Powell referred to that daft bint who invaded the pitch as a 'lady' in his post-match press conference.



Stay classy, Cas.
