I bet Mark Sneyd wishes he could re-take that drop out
Wigan got away with one there.
They definitely did.
Catalans v Cas is on now, listening to some very excitable French commentary over the Sky visuals via L'Equipe
***edit***
Spot of red mist there from us, not realising that six again had been called and we had tackles in hand close to the try line. D'oh!
***edit 2***
Pressure finally tells. 4-0.
***edit 3***
And again. L'Equipe commentator moved to call it a "masterclass" (yes, using the English word... presumably a loanword in French in the same way we got rendezvous). 10-0.
***edit 4***
Better from Cas. 10-6.
***edit 5***
Swiftly followed by normal service resuming! Jonners gets his first try of the season. 16-6.
***edit 6***
Starting the second half well. 22-6
***edit 7***
Make that 28-6
***edit 8***
Cas not folding. 28-10.
***edit 9***
Honestly can't tell what the video ref was trying to give/rule out there...hey ho.
***edit 10***
Odd moment. The TV graphic came up as a Cas incorrect play of the ball, but either the graphics had the wrong tackle count or the ref did. Should have been a handover
No matter. It all resolves in a set of six that ends with les Dracs twisting and turning and crashing over the try line again. 34-10.
***edit 11***
TMO's getting some work tonight...and it's given. 40-10, 12 mins to go.
***edit 12***
The scoreline doesn't really reflect just how much work Castleford have put in tonight. Or maybe it does, in that they've limited Dragons to the current score. ~7 mins to go and they're still running it hard, chasing the game like their lives depend on doing so.
***edit 13***
They get a reward for some of that hard work, over at the corner for Simm. Milnes can't add the extras. 40-14.

Not wholly straightforward at times, but it'll do.
I see Wigan got Kendall'd in the match against Saints. Quelle surprise.

Losing Mickey Mac for this evening is a blow, but we've still got a pretty damned good side to put up.
Coverage on BBC3 tonight

Here we go-go-go...
***Edit 2***
In no shape, way or form was that second one for Saints actually a try
Liam Moore screwed the pooch on that one.

Fiers d'être:
Saints travelling support top drawer as ever. Saints themselves...two missed conversions didn't help their cause, Liam Moore simply inventing a grounding did (not enough '' in the world), both teams a bit scrappy at times. But, **** it - a win is a win.

Catalans really weren't at all good against Huddersfield. Ah well. Dust ourselves off and concentrate on the league.
That went alright.
Wasn't perfect (six points gone begging because of missed conversions, for one) but on the whole a decent afternoon's work.

Strange old night. We lose at Leigh, which I thought might be a banana skin but the manner of the defeat surprised me. And Wigan go and stumble at KR, which I honestly didn't see coming at all.
***Edit**
6-8 HT. Probably a fair reflection. Both teams squandered chances to score more.
***Edit 2***
Two quick tries for Wigan at the start of the second half. I think that might be the tale of the tape unless we find some inspiration from somewhere.
***Edit 3***
And another, born out of a spurious six again call. I am begging the RFL/Super League to get consistent about what draws a six again, because as far as I can tell referees are just winging it.

30-8 FT. We simply weren't good enough.
The team lost shape after Garcia went off, and discipline again cost us big at crucial moments.

Bloody good game of rugby for the neutrals, and an exceptional one for KR fans I'd have thought
As good as things are for KR on the pitch right now, off the pitch their commercial department are having a clownshoes moment.
D'oh!
