Quote: SmokeyTA "Child was poor, got some very obvious ones wrong (hardaker strip had two men in the tackle for literally seconds before the strip, the 2nd defender even had time to come out of the tackle, then go back in before it was stripped, i dont know how you miss that?) for both sides. I wouldnt agree that Leeds benefited more, Cas only got sustained field position on the back of a string of penalties which led to their 1st and 3rd tries, and a few times he invented a couple when leeds had great field position.
regardless of that, we had more than enough opportunities to win and made far too many dumb decisions and executed poorly. We dont look as fit as usual, we dont look quick, but i think there is a lot of improvement to come for us, i think we might get something out of this year.'"
I find it amusing that you think an iffy 2 on 1 strip was more of a benefit than a blatant knock on by hardacre in the lead up to Leeds' second try and an equally blatant forward pass for their third! Leeds may have found themselves in good positions, but they created virtually nothing and Cas rarely looked troubled. The real benefit though was Cas having so many influential players out as with them the game would've been over by half time.
