so close to keeping a side below 30 points, admittedly against the second worst attackers.
where is the logic in bringing in a winger on loan then playing him outside kirk "cant pass wont pass" dixon who after missing easy kicks is now offering little and needs an enforced rest

Rhys Williams was crap anyway - bombed a try and had 2 errors...and was taken off in the 2nd half!

Waste of time bringing him in.

The saying 'bent as a 9 bob note' has now been dropped.....corrected phrase is 'bent as the RFL!':d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_45047.jpg



For me, Dicko has always been a very average player...not particularly good...yet not overly bad either. His saving grace being that a year or two ago he was nailing kicks from all over the ground. If his kicking has now deserted him, then he brings very little to our game and must be the slowest winger in SL.

I enjoyed the thrill and the tension of toda'ys game, however the quality of rugby on display from both sides was pretty poor and it's very easy to see why both teams are at the bottom end of the table.

Two poor sides and some strange calls from the ref and VR, not a great advert for the game.

For a local neutral it was very entertaining

We are boring to watch. Do the exact same thing every set and have a none existent defence. What was Rangi doing on the final tackle too? Why didn't he just kick it up?

Worst "team" i've ever seen.

I found that game very entertaining - as predicted, it wasn't a great display of silky skills, but it was a nail-biter.

Kirk Dixon is, and never was, a centre. He is a winger - although we certainly don't play to his strengths. A few years back we used him on the wing and kept putting up high bombs to the corner. More often than not Dixon would climb and get the ball. I remember one in the stuffing against Hull at Wheldon Rd. How many times do you see us employ that tactic now? Rarely - think we used it a couple today but most were up in the air into the ingoal.

Both teams tried there damnedest to lose this one and cas tried fractionally the harder. A thoroughly entertaining game though none the less, which is what the game of RL used to be about.
The Hull derby was the same, arguably a "bit" more skillfull but also very entertaining.
Can someone tell me where the entertainment went in game 2???

with regard to kirk dixon, a guideline i employ is ....if he was released by cas today with no fee attached how many super league clubs would show an interest ?
widnes possibly, wakefield maybe before signing sykes but no one else.
so if no good to other teams why cas?

I think both sides need a bit more credit, there was very little shade and it was red hot.
Yet they still managed to play in an entertaining game.

2 poor sides granted but they both worked very hard.

What do they expect when they promote a team that finished 6th in the championship
