Not about the game, but ticketing....

Never had to be in a 150m queue 30 mins before kick off at the HJ just to pick up my pre paid tickets, and then queue again for another 5 mins to get through the turnstyles.
Got there early thankfully, got to our seats 10 mins before ko.

Usually I pick them up during the week.

Just to make sure I got my Cas ticket today.

Was well worth the queuing though!


I didn’t know if I’d be able to make it, so turned up at the last minute with no cash. Tesco cash machine was out of order, so had to do a 3k dash across town looking for a machine that hadn’t run out of cash, arriving with seconds to spare (literally caught Drinkwater finishing Dufty’s break). Foolishly wore jeans that were far too tight for a run, and now suffering from some severe chafing.

Was worth it though. Possibly the only game I’ll get to see live this year.

PS Cats didn’t beat Rovers by 24 points, so we are still top tonight. Hopefully Cas won’t be our banana skin next week.

How Did Philbin get on, wasn't mentioned much whilst in play, i listened on the Radio.
Yeah Russell will be good for us next week, looking forward to seeing him play for us again.
Kasiano may be out next week, but i think Dudson will play and Harrison may be back as he will have had 3 weeks rest and rehab by next week so you never know.
Happy with the win and hope it continues :-)


Harrison had a leg brace on last night, hopefully just as a precaution but we need him to get his knee right for the long term so I don’t expect to see him play next week. Regarding Russell, I hope you’re right……it’s a bit of a risk for me but I suppose other players have improved so will reserve judgement but he’ll have to have significantly improved in every aspect of his game.

I am a little hesitant about Russell but seeing how other players have responded to Powell and Marshall, I’m quite keen to give him a chance (now Thewlis is not available anyway). Powell certainly has a record of getting the best out of seemingly average players.

Russell is good as cover, im looking forward to seeing how he goes for us now, i felt he looked a lot better with toulouse than ive seen him for any team before. Generally though, I'm really happy with thewlis and ashton as our first choice wingers.

2 more games to miss for maguire, i think harrison and maybe bullock could be missing for a few months, dudson should be back soon, kasiano could be missing for a few now as well, we could be a little bit short in numbers over the next couple of games.

I was too far away to see Kasiano incident. How bad it seem, given was a yellow on the night?
Speaking of which there did seem to be a lot of “grabbing” rather than tackling in the first half by some of our players (yes Peter M I am looking at you!).

So what about Dufty? Sure we missed a few tackles & fell away at the end but his threat is constant.
Great signing for me.

Expected him to start all guns blazing this year after coming in early, he hasn’t done much wrong but hasn’t looked too threatening aside from some good backing up.

He was much better vs Leigh, though - by far his best game of the year.

Agreed - been a slow burn start to the year for him but was excellent on Friday - wonder if he's just working out his place in attacking lines etc with a new halfback partnership. Think he'll be superb this year for us.
