Castleford my favourite ground in SL (after kc ). Always a cracking atmostphere. Cannot wait. Come on you Hull.

Good game spoiled by the referee i think.

Had we shown a little more composure in attack we might of pinched it.

Kyle Wood showed some nice touches and plenty of enthusiasm,good to see Widders get more game time too.

thought thaler was poor for both sides, if we(fc) had held onto the ball and took our chances in the first half, the game would've been over by then

If we would have scored when we were on your line in the second half the game would have been over.

The comment you have just made is stupid.

why? attacking your line we spilled the ball two or three times in good positions, we also had a perfectly good try ruled out in the second half when we was totally dominating the play

Because it didn't happen...we were poor close to the line IF you hadn't been playing a side that wasn't patched up and didn't want to win you would have got smashed today. You were dominating the play because Mr.Thaler (who by the way hates Castleford and always screws us over) gave you everything going, i could give you countless number of examples where he didn't penalise you for doing the exact same thing that we did that got penalised.

Terry's post match comments sum it up for me:

Castleford coach Terry Matterson:
"I thought the game as a spectacle was ruined by the man in the middle and it's not the first time the bloke's ruined it for us.

"I think they should give the fans their money back, not the club but the officials.

"He needs to go and have a look at the rule book. He's got no feel for the game."

Can't be bothered even arguing with you because you have your black and white coloured specs on.

As unpopular as this may be i think were it not for Goldy we would probbably have won today once again we saw him throw out a match winning ball for the opposition and were that not bad enough he did his damdest to do the same thing again about 10 minutes later. Untill we get rid of people like goldy and the 5 minute wonder sargent there is nothing for us what so ever, but on a positive note i thought there were signs of promise from wood. but away from the result i would just like to say that i think hull have been the best away supported team i have seen at cas in the superleague era, well done FC and all the best for the rest of the season

Really?
The man is useless as a ref i.m.o. He was crap for both sides,some of his decisions were a bit wierd to say the least.Not often I agree with Justin Morgan,but he got into hot water with his comments about Thaler.I had to agree with him.

I think that comments about not taking opportunities..spilling ball...could have....ought to have ....etc are not quite in context with what happened out there today. Both teams played quite well, both teams spilled the ball, for which only the players of both teams are to blame.

However, as per Terry's comments....the game was spoilt be the man in the middle. As a result it wasn't half the game it could have been for the fans to enjoy.

It was shaping up to be a belter of a game, great atmosphere in both crowds (as it always is against FC)..however, sadly it was spoilt in exactly the same way Thaler did earlier in the year when we played Warrington.

If you want a great game turned into a joke, Thaler is your man!!! He can't help making himself the main talking point of the game!! Did anyone else note the way he held the ball in the air above his head as he walked onto the pitch in a 'look at me' style.....not good!!

That is one of the most ridiculous comments I have ever read on here.

Goldy was forced to make that pass because of the lack of organisation throughout the line of attack. Each pass was forced because the attacking line was not set, every time a player turned to pass another player was in his face and in the way. That is the attacking lines problem NOT the person passing the ball.

As for Thaler, why do people expect any different? the referees as a whole are diabolical. This is down to Stuart Cummings, since he took over the standard of refereeing has dramatically dropped. Thaler should have had the balls to sin bin a Hull player earlier than what he did (he had enough opportunities) and take back control and calm the play down. He didn't do this and it boiled over.

Sarge has been off the pace since he returned from Oz, he was clearly injured when he hobbled off just before half time. Widders, as i've said in a different thread had a good game and was our stand out player, however, he needs to run straight. Twice he had a clear run to the line and didn't back himself, he came on the inside and got tackled.

Hull had quite a bit of luck today, but on the flip side we were lucky that they dropped the ball when they did. Otherwise they could of had another 4 or 5 tries. We, at times, were de-void of ideas. We seem to "go to sleep" for periods of the game, periods that are costing us points and chances to win the game, I largely think this is due to fitness of the players and maybe the mental attitude where they think they have the game sewn up (Quins game a prime example)

It was a spirited performance with some lacks of concentration that inevitably cost us the game. I really sometimes do wonder what Matterson says in his team talks because it is second half performances that are costing us recently. First half i thought we just edged it which showed in the scoreline. Second half Hull were more agressive but i felt that at 34-16 the score flattered Hull quite a bit, so I'm glad we made it more respectable.

At the end of the day it's all if's and but's. It's over now we need to move on and concentrate on getting points elsewhere

I will say Casman that it did seem at times that our players had Lurpak on their fingers near the line,but I will forgive them,as it was hot and the fingers must have been slippery.
