On nights like these, it seems unfortunate that someone has to lose. For Castleford’s critics, the argument had been for months that when the play-offs Colton Parayko Womens Jersey came around, the runaway Super League leaders would fail to cope with the expectations of a do-or-die play-off semi-final.Next Saturday will dictate Heat Jersey whether Heat Authentic Jersey they Blues Jersey have Blues Authentic Jersey the credentials to go all the way and become Super League champions at Old Trafford, but this was a tick in the box which some believed Daryl Powell’s side were incapable of conquering. However, while Luke Gale’s drop goal – 16 days after emergency surgery to remove his appendix – was the game’s decisive moment, it does not even begin to describe 86 minutes of sporting drama which underline that when Super League is good, it is seriously good.Castleford, trailing 10-8 at half-time against a St Helens side who had begun to look like serious title contenders in recent weeks, rallied to lead by 10 with 15 minutes remaining. Here, in front of a sell-out crowd where they have been beaten only twice, that felt a commanding enough lead to ensure a first appearance in the Grand Final.

But that was only a fraction of the drama which would follow. St Helens, with their now patented never-say-die attitude, scored three unanswered tries, including one near-unfathomable effort, to lead by two with seconds http://www.officialbluesauthentic.com/authentic-57-david-perron-jersey.html remaining. Suddenly, Castleford’s season was all but over.The Tigers then mustered an ending which seemed beyond the realms of sporting possibility. “It was such a crazy game,” Powell said. He was right. Gale kicked a penalty on the hooter to send the game into extra-time and, inevitably, he would kick the winning point six minutes into golden point. Next Saturday, exactly a decade to the day after winning the Championship’s Grand Final, Castleford will play at Old Trafford in the Super League Grand Final.

And while St Helens’ season is now over following this agonising defeat, when the dust settles, there should be a sense of pride at how far they have come under their coach, Justin Holbrook, since his arrival in May. They looked more like relegation fodder as opposed to title contenders when he was appointed, but the fact he inspired a run of nine wins in 14 to claim a play-off place suggests 2018 will bring happier times with the Australian in charge. “I’m so proud of them,” Holbrook Derrick Williams Womens Jersey said.Gale had created a try for Zak Hardaker inside 50 seconds before kicking a penalty to make it 8-0, but St Helens fought back well, with tries from Regan Grace and Morgan Knowles putting them ahead at half-time.But it was after the break where the drama would really begin. Gale and Adam Milner scored to make it 20-10. St Helens rallied with tries from Percival, Tommy Makinson and Ryan Morgan but Percival would fail to convert any of the tries to leave them ahead by just two.

But after reclaiming the kick-off with seconds left, Gale nervelessly kicked a penalty to send the game into extra-time. And while he missed with his first attempt in extra-time, there would be no denying the man of the moment second time around.Castleford Hardaker; Minikin, Webster, Shenton, Eden; Roberts, Gale; Milner, McShane, Sene-Lefao, Foster, McMeeken, Milner.
