SAINTS boss Keiron Cunningham said he was delighted with the way his side are attacking, when the Star's Mike Critchley caught up with him after training.

MC: Apart from Alex Walmsley, how fit is the rest of the camp looking after Cas?

KC: Wilko was just a bit of cramp – and has been fine in training. Andre Savelio was withdrawn with a bit of a chest virus. He has trained this week so hopefully he will be ready. Mose Masoe has been carrying a bit of a leg injury but will come back in this week.

MC: That’s not the first time we have seen a game like that at Castleford?

KC: Yes, I have played in a few of those there myself. A few years ago we got off to an 18-point lead but ended up losing. Every time it happens it is reminiscent of previous games.

The Wilko no-try was a big turning point in the game because 24 points is a lot to come back from, they have then gone down to the other end and posted points not long after that.

Certain decisions did not go our way, but it balanced itself out. I was probably a little bit emotional after the game with some of the stuff I said, but I will still stand by my guns and think the system is making a farce of our game.

But it was an unusual game and I am very thankful that my players kept finding a way to score and to hang in there and come away with the point. Otherwise we could have been sat here in a completely different mood in the camp.

MC: The start at Castleford was spot-on?

KC: Yes, we scored three times and looked brilliant with the ball.

We have adjusted the variance of our attack slightly, and I knew it was going good in the last two weeks and I thought we looked brilliant with the ball in hand. Luke Walsh looked comfortable, JT and Wilko were great – key people – and we will build on to that.

MC: Securing the result takes that pressure off with two to play?

KC: We are in the top four and that is where we want to be. We would have loved to have finished first but that ship has probably sailed. We can only look after what we can look after, but if we take care of these next two rounds you never know where will end up.

MC: Leeds have now lost two – that has pricked a bit of a bubble there and maybe halted this idea that all they had to do was turn up and win the lot?

KC: Of course, but I said this to you before the Challenge Cup semi-final. The way the game is structured now it is almost impossible to do the League and Cup double. This is why I said so many good things about Waney – he did it and won everything there was to win.

It is hard to get up for a Challenge Cup Final, physically and emotionally, and then to back it up the weeks after.

We took a lot out of Leeds after that Challenge Cup game and then they had to travel to Catalans, which is a killer at that point.

They looked a tired side, both mentally and physically.

But they are a great team who are capable of anything.

All they need is the light switch flicking on and they are back and it could be a different end to the year.

MC: Wigan are can move top if they shape themselves. They are playing for something here on Friday?

KC: We all are. The points difference between us all is not that great, everything is potentially available. It is about who will consistently take that form forward.

Huddersfield are in good form and playing well, so you would fancy them to do well too.

It is definitely going to make an interesting end to the year.
