This thread is going nowhere - Hull KR got to grips with Chase and particularly when Raz was off, we lost our way.

We never got to grips with Dobson, he was excellent today, much better than he has been lately as well..... Some injuries but all in all, we didn't adapt.

It makes me laugh when people blame TM for the half time talks- he is the manager and the head coach, on game days his work is pretty much done, it's not Cutsyke away at Egremont, the players are professional full time, they get very little coaching or talk on the day - it is not Sunday morning super-hero's.

Best team won, the team with the first choice halves playing well.

I don't think TM can be doing too much wrong when you were fighting for 4th at this stage of your second season back in SL. On song Castleford play some of the most exciting RL I've seen, and for the benefit of the Leeds troll, they do it without the perpetual subtle 'manipulation' of the rules.

Look at the league table buddy. You've been beaten by one hell of a lot of teams this season! Never mind "sometimes". How about half the matches you've played. Maybe you are a Saints fan who's stumbled onto the wrong forum.

Nice avatar "buddy". What have you been doing since Bad Manners split up?

Was at your game today. Pleased to see theres no slating the ref here. On some forums when a team loses, the users try to blame the ref instead of looking at their own teams performance.

Ok, some calls went against Castleford, but I think Hull KR got some against them aswell.

Castleford started well, but in the end, Hull KR were more clinical and turned chances into points, though had Chase (i think it was) collected the ball, when it was still 6 points difference it could have been very different.

Hull KR deserved the win, but 46-28 final score was abit harsh on castleford.

I think Cas showed a lot of spirit out there today. They did look bewildered at times in the second half, due to the change of tactics by Hull KR and they had no answers.

thats a first half the time this season we've looked predictable.

I said in my match report (elsewhere) that I don't believe Alibert's competent enough to be malicious or one sided. It's a little like car crash refereeing... it's inevitable you're gonna get hurt but it's entirely random who's going to come off worst.

And yet we have still managed to avoid being beaten by salford and were only 4 wins behind the 'mighty' rhinos going into this weekend.

2nd half we had Chase,Westy and Sarge injured. Dixon off injured and players playing out of position. With that and Goldy under achieving(again)what do you expect? Yeah we looked flat but i would if my boss put me in a place i was unsure about.

Am i right in saying that over the course of the game dixon, owen , shenton, westerman and chase all go injured in the game then? Anybody know how they are doing now?
