Widders at 6 aswell 0.o

The reason we died on our backsides against Hull KR in the second half was because goldy at stand off was none existant. Chase was marked out of the game which created gaps on the field for other people that even I could have got through.

You have to give TM some credit for spotting this and trying to do something about it but Googie at stand off???? Come on! He has a good turn of pace for a forward but not for a stand off!

Wouldn't it have been better to play Westy at standoff, move Hudson to loose and play Netherton at hooker? Or..... get Brierley on the pitch!

Your lot didn't really turn up last night and, coupled with a horrific refereeing display by Thaler, it didn't make for good watching.

Scoreline pretty much tells the tale, although is rather flattering to Leeds as there were at least 4 of their scores which came from decisions that just made me speechless. That'd still make about 10 scores to 2 though, but I'd probably be rather pi$$ed off if I were a Cas fan both with the team that gave up in the second half, and with Thaler's ineptitude.

Well if for you the table is decided on scoring points difference, then I guess there is an issue. Personally, I'll concentrate on the final figure in the table, the one that puts us ahead of seven other teams in the table - something we haven't had since 2000...

Keep in mind that mid table is pretty tight and our final position in the table could well be decided on points difference.

I'm glad I didn't go last night.

A draw against Wigan would be as good as a win for us because our points difference is so shocking!

Top and bottom of it was that we were absoloutely aweful and Leeds are coming into form for the run-in. We have to write it off as a bad day at the office and move on.
Leeds were far too fast for us, and although in the first half our forwards stood up to them, our backs were so weak and slow. Wainwright showed to me why people think he doesn't deserve a contract as he was constantly out of position and McGuire only had to run along the line, he was drawn in, the ball would go out to Smith or Donald and they had a 2 man overlap.
Senior was on form, Hall against Ford was never a fair match up as other than pace, Ford showed again he was out of his depth unfortunately, he made far too many errors for a Super League player. I know it is harsh to single out a particular player as everyone was shocking, as the number of errors coming from our own line was pathetic.
However credit to Leeds, they played very well, and although by the end of the game they didn't need to do too much to score, some of their handling was absolute class and the speed of play was outstanding.
You never know, this may either bring out a good response for the run in as they should be determined to put it right for the fans from the players or they may capitulate and our season could be over. Either way, I really hope tonight showed we need to improve the squad next year, and it won't be acceptable to just bring in a couple of average players as seems to be the case, we need to bring in several quality players to even think of competing.

Agree with every word.

I was impressed when Ford chased back and almost caught Hall (i think??) i think i was about the only one applauding

I doubt we will see much of a response regards recruitment, they'll just see it as a bad day at the office and think what we have is enough..... When clearly it isn't

Cas didn't turn up for one match......your lot have been AWOL all season.

If we had a choice we'd play you every week

Simply a bad day at the office for Cas....it happens....Good luck with the play offs Tigers
