Our pack bullied by the cas pack, ferres definitely not fit. Handley as I have previously mentioned not good enough. Briscoe seems to be regressing week by week. We got drawn into petty niggles in the second half. Bad enough dropping the ball , unfortunately it seemed mostly on our 25 yd line.
Worryingly we did not create a lot of chances, our tries were gifted from cas. Looking on the bright side surely we can't play as bad as that again. Plus cas at the moment seem to be superior to most other super league teams.

im not remembering loads of chances created by Cas tbf
scored their first try off a mcshane knock-on. a broken down play by their winger dropping it to feet? Zak going full length.
i heard they reinvented rugby but thats what they came up with after all our lost ball and penalties.

Think some like Cuthbo were suffering from overplaying. why he played v Fev I have no idea.
However, there are no excuses for such a poor display.
McDermott gave cas team talk.
The one man out stuff was met with far quicker cas line speed. On attack cas were miles ahead.
We are so slow as a team it is unreal and so reliant on cuthbo, moon and parcell. The fact that team was third before kick off shows it's a tripe league
See whether a reaction comes v saints next week. Hope it's dry.

Did we land lucky in a tough draw playing Hull away in a QF last Sunday while you played, who was it again.....?

2 forwards who punch holes for fun and the captain missing for cas yet we still outclass and out think you!
Don't tell me.......it was the wefferwee.

I am waiting for this too

Good job Leeds had an extra two days prep or it could have been even more grim.

This is poor side that is under invested in and very poorly coached - things need to change, sadly that will not happen.

As Gotcha said " Briscoe - the lad is world class" I must be watching a different game.

Can we put hall back on the wing? His best asset was nullified as he got no ball.

Re: RD 19 | Leeds Rhinos v Castleford Tigers : Fri Jun 23, 2017 11:22 pm  

To play so badly, drop so much ball yet only lose by 11?
Surely there's some positives in that?
We won't play that bad again & that defence will help when it comes to the big games at the business end.
We've been here before....and won when it mattered.
Cas are on course to do a Warrington....win the LLS then bottle it when it really matters

He's missed tons mate. If you were sat here you would see. Regularly down fastening his shoelaces to get a break.

He is still fitter than Singleton it takes him 3 plays to get back in the line!!

At least someone enjoyed that performance...

Isn't it time you handed the laptop back to your carer and took your nighttime meds?

I don't want to over react, it's just one game, but that was a dire performance. Scrabbling for positives,I thought we defended well for significant periods. But we lacked ideas, ambition and a cutting edge in attack. It was hard to credit that we had had the easier preceding game and the extra couple of days to recover and prepare. Cas are the class team this season and deserve to pick up a trophy. My concern for the Rhinos is that with the cost of the ground development, the funding required to strengthen the squad may be hard to find. Mid table mediocrity beckons for a while I fear
