I thought McGoldrick had a good game. I'd be more agrieved about the penalty Bentman gave when he pushed a Leeds player out of his way when he wante a quick PTB and the Rhino went down like he'd been shot - not sure who it was, but he should be embarassed! As for THAT penalty - I thought he tried to knock the ball out 'cos he knew McOscar was past him, which was a clever idea and would have been a brilliant play - but instead gave a clear penalty away. You can't condemn a player for a spur of the moment decision like that, it's what sport is all bout.

Let it go...

I was adding my comments purely based on re-watching the game again the other night for the first time. Get the facts before commenting.

it was a penalty either way because it was 2 in the tackle and a ball strip.the referee has nothing to do with it he gave calls castlefords way just as much as he did leeds, the 2 tries dissallowed could of easily stood.it was a great physical game which either team could of won.just like you did against wakey in extra time

Two in the tackle? Cas might have won if there'd even been one in the tackle! Penalty was given for a high tackle (correctly), I dont think it would have been given if he'd hit McOscars arm and knocked the ball out - but we'll never know.
