Don't know why Cas fans are blaming the referee. He penalised Leeds for laying on but let Cas lay on ever so slightly longer.

Doesn't really matter though. Cas probably wont play better than that this season and they still couldnt beat a seriously out of sorts Leeds side.

Leeds first 3 tries were while the rain was at its worst.

Seen Cas play better then that already this season, so that point is nul & void straight away.

Even if it was an "out of sorts Leeds team" how about Cas? it's not like they were missing: Owen, Huby, Hudson, Widders, Netherton & losing McGoldrick early on put Cas at a massive disadvantage, and them 6 missing are a bigger loss then Donald & Burrow.

very true and better will come

sgtwilko,

buderus was offside when he "knocked on" for the rhinos disallowed try and so cas should have been awarded a penalty. thaler gave that decision so I can't really complain about ian smith on that one

overall was gutted with the loss but the boys battled well in shocking conditions. yes the penalty count was well in our favour but deservedly imo. cas did get away with some decisions as well but it was the key decisions (dixon tackled in air etc) that didn't go our way that could have tipped the balance in our favour.

The main difference though was that the Rhinos defence was very good and with the amount of possesion and field position that we had we failed to break it down enough times.

Still optimitic that we can maintain a playoff place til the end of the season though.

The game is over and done with. Cas and Leeds don't meet again until 14th August. Shall we all let the bitching from both sides sto now as it isn't going to do any good ?

Please............


Thank you.

what a load of HYPOCRITES the rhinos people trying to tell us about overseas players. all they have done for the last 30-40 years is try to sign every best aussie or new zealander going, got bailed out by mr caddick from airedale in castleford and eventually in came the youth policy which as worked out quite well so far not forgetting about the likes of webb, donald, buderus, leuluai, and a mr eastwood currently enjoying life with canterbury bulldogs.

Well said.

take it you did not go to the game then!! out of sorts is that a scum word for sh*t?

Don't forget the other chap from Pontefract

first post on the "pound town" website but thank god you have ferres !! really difficult when leeds play cas cos i hate both..but how pleased am i to see YOU lose like that !!!

tigerbaz, they give every excuse going mate. we are jealous of their under achieving success and do not like them for it, but bradford and saints have done every bit as good if not better, but we are not jealous of them or dislike them so why does the majority of the league not like the whinos, obviously they are too thick to grasp it.

Yes, the Sky footage proves someone right. Unfortunately for you, it makes you look like an idiot (or did you do that all by yourself?). The biblical weather started about two and a half minutes before Leeds first try and carried on like that for a while and in that period Leeds scored 3 tries. You do remember the Leeds fans swinging their shirts above their heads and jiggling their spare tires don't you. They did that because a) Leeds had scored and b) it was hammering it down.

You're totally right of course. We're so bad we lose to you by two points in what a lot of people around the place have described as a superb game of rugby which neither team deserved to lose.

We've had too many stuffings this season - both of them. I think you could term that "a few," especially if you're filling in an MP's expenses form. And, of course the defeats to Salford and Bradford were particularly hard to take. Oh, no, I tell a lie, that was someone else not Cas. I do apologise for getting confused there. Must be my small town mentality, paranoia and inbreeding that lofty, exalted people from beautiful, historic cities keep telling me I've got.

I'm so sorry for even deigning to speak to you, your highness. You may now wipe me off your shoe.
