bit harsh to suggest ALL of us are bleating about it,i think most of us have accepted cas were the better team and fully deserved the win im not sure where you got your evidence from.im pretty sure most giants fans aren't suggesting what your insinuating.
as for the VR try,yes it was inconclusive and yes we were pretty miffed by it,but tell me you wouldn't have been had it been t'other way round? but it's done with now,we didnt compete with you on the night and deserved a defeat,which if im honest 18-12 did flatter us in the end!
so enjoy being top especially if you keep it up its about time castleford were at the top again,
good luck for the season and dont tar us all with the same brush like your neighbours from belle vue

As poppys mum said, you can't tell if it was a steal or a loose carry - and even if Chase's hand was in there, you cant see if he prised it or if it was simply dropped. Most steal/loose carry decisions can be seen to be controversial depending on which team you support! As it is, all the video ref could do was give BOD to the attacking team which is the directive for unclear VR decisions.

I think, like meast, I'd have accepted it had it been the other way round, but have always had the "what if" in the back of my mind.

It was given as 'benefit of the doubt' which proves it was inconclusive and whilst harsh, the video ref was simply applying the operational rules. Had the teams been reversed, we could've had no complaints.

So when did Huddersfield all of a sudden become a big club? they all seem to think already losing to Cas doesn't matter and they will finish "well clear" and that was the best Cas can play and it took a "lucky" try "that shouldn't have even been a try" to win when they were having an "off day".

To me that game showed more about Huddersfield then it did Cas, it shows Huddersfield are flat track bullies who when out-muscled lose the plot and can be out done up front by a more finesse team. We've all seen in flashes before Cas can do a defensive shift.

Their 10 fans seem to think that the 6 point margin was reflective of the game too Cas were far superior throughout and Huddersfield, imo were lucky it wasn't dry because they would have been hammered.

Another thing is pundits banging on about the conditions, weren't they more detrimental to Cas who throw the ball around? The game showed Huddersfie
ld are one dimensional and not as good as everyone thought they were.

Only you saying Huddersfield are a big club, all Giants fans have praised Cas on a great win, every season we have 2 difficult games against Cas some we win and some we lose, no-one has said the points were not important so what the hell you on about? Disgruntled wakey fan me thinks? I say once again a great win for Cas!!!

As for Youngquest's second try, they don't seem to grasp benefit of the doubt - the fact you can't CONCLUSIVELY see anyone strip the ball out or knock on, so Silverwood had no other choice to award benefit of the doubt because the video ref is there to find any CLEAR reason to disallow a try.

To sum up, because they've had a couple of good years the Huddersfield fans have become utterly delusional and seem to think they're a big club when they're in fact flat track bullies who can be out-muscled when that's supposed to be their "thing".
