Just got back from the game and I am very disappointed with the performance of the players today.
We looked very flat after two big games against Leeds and St Helen's but this was a local derby and the players should be able to get themselves up for this one!
We made too many errors then gave away stupid penalties throughout the game. We also bombed too many scoring chances obviously Richard Moore ignoring a three-man overlap but we also had Michael Korkidas knocking on right on the line in the first half.
We looked hesitant under the kick and we were slow to support the ball carrier when Cas were gang tackling and pushing us back.
Some of our kicking choices were puzzeling to say the least resulting in us turning the ball over on the 40 m line and putting ourselves back under pressure when we really needed the ball.
All in all a pretty disappointing display after the promise of the two performances in the last two games.
Final word is on the referee who allowed Castleford to lay on in the tackle and play offside throughout the game but at the end of the day they played to the conditions and that included the referee.
