If they denied that try for that reason then surely from this point on every video referee decision should start with the play the ball to see if it was played correctly?

They used to do that circa the "SL wars" time.

The ref and VR dont take wrong options.
We beat our selfs, we dont have any killer insinct and we didnt have a leader out there.
On tv at home cause we lost.
What a player we have for a month, hat trick of tries in his first game and only trained with the club 2 days. Tbh i feel a bit sorry for him cos he played his heart out, pity the over paid australian super star didnt show up to night, he should now go home and lets get a SH who wants to play for cas.

I think that's a bit unfair. I don't think you can knock Sherwin's effort tonight. He was battered about from the off, but he was always involved in the game. I was quite impressed with his defensive effort tonight, he put himself about. Sadly, effort isn't everything. The mistakes you mentioned above didn't come from lack of effort, just lack of ability. He is obviously not 100% but who else can we play? Please don't tell me Brierly would put in a better performance, if Matterson has anything it is a track record of giving young players a go when they are ready. Clearly, Brierly is not ready yet.

Yes we may have been robbed. But I tell you who I blame. Matterson. Get your coat what sort of a coach sends his team out with 16 men and has a young hungry kid sat on bench for full 80 minutes without using him. its hard enough in this league without having to do it a man light.

GO NOW PLEASE

jordan is more than big enough to give one of the back rowers a spell infact before the season started the talk was of jordan making a back rower the ways he`s bulked up and grown.even a 10 minute spell would have been 10 minutes rest for somebody else.

We didn't take our chances when they came, we should have gone in with 2 more try's on the board.
The early conversion miss and those 2 tries should have put us in the sheds at 22-10.
We lost Brett early on, so we were always going to be blowing. I rather think we lost today; Hull KR dodged a bullet.

As for the last try- if is it against you it's a blatant knock on, but I always look at what I would expect if one of our players scored it - I would expect it to be given.

Some dodgy decisions but if we had taken our chances, we would have won - Simples.

Re: ROBBED AGAIN : Sat Feb 27, 2010 9:18 pm  

So, so, so frustrating. It was just the same as last year at home on so many occasions. We start great, get a nice little lead and just when you think we might grab the game by the scruff of the neck...SELF DESTRUCTION.

We lose these games due to dumb play (kicking out on the full, not kicking on the last tackle), careless mistakes (how many handling errors) and not having the required intensity/concentration in defence for large periods of the game.

The reffing frustrates me but they're all as bad and it seems to happen across the board. That's just the standard and unfortunately there's no one better about!

It's tiring being a Cas fan, I'm constantly exhausted after these home games on sky. Why was I born into this!?!?!?!?!?!

Re: ROBBED AGAIN : Sat Feb 27, 2010 9:30 pm  

You made some bad errors tonight but aside from that i thought nearly every video ref decision went against you and cost you the game.
apart from the ones already mentioned imo Ainscough did ground that ball on the line before it bounced out.

Re: ROBBED AGAIN : Sat Feb 27, 2010 9:36 pm  

Regardless of the mistakes we deserved it tonight.

As for the officials,action is needed to improve the standards before loyal supporters walk away from the game.

I for one wont go to anymore rugby league events sent to me by Red Hall until Cummings is removed from his job.

Re: ROBBED AGAIN : Sat Feb 27, 2010 9:47 pm  

I am a Rovers fan so I wouldn't want to come on here and be negative about Cas in any way.

That's because I LOVE the atmosphere at Wheldon Road and for me this is the best away fixture all year.

Win lose draw, Cas is a great place to visit IMO.

What a superb place to watch Rugby League.

Facilities? Give over!

Home fans love it, away fans love it. What's the problem?

Actually the only problem is with people who will never visit anyway.

As for tonight yes I will admit we had the rub of it. Obviously I am pleased about that and obviously you will not be. That's how it goes.

But in the bigger picture it's just another game. Rugby League is a small sport really. Castleford is one of it's great and recognisable names and may I say, so is Hull Kingston Rovers.

Can you believe that not too long ago this small sport was ready to let these wonderful brand names perish?

I wish you well in your quest to move to a new stadium. Obviously that would be good for you and your club. But me I will not mind in the slightest if you remain at Wheldon Road/The Jungle. What a fantastic Rugby League venue! (For the people who actually pay to watch!).
