Disappointed to see so many folks on here bagging the backs once again.
When yr forwards are so comprehensively beaten yr done. Wally Lewis, ET, whoever would have lost that match in big numbers too.
This loss was about confidence v nervousness. Bravery v fear.
Ultimately that's a management issue. Mc can turn it around but due to last yr it might take 'too long'.
A new coach might get the (same) response sooner.
But please ... Don't ever blame the backs (exclusively) for a match lost in the middle and in the stands.

Btw chill. In 6-8 weeks Cas will be less good and Leeds will be better.
Maybe not good enough mind.

McDermott showed zero sign of 'turning it around' last year until Segeyaro arrived. Based on last year, what evidence is there that he has the capability to turn it around with the existing squad.

We won our two previous games before Segeyaro and only conceded 6 points in those games so people saying it was only Segeyaro is nonsense. Damn right it helped make things easier but there were signs beforehand.

Signs way after the season was over in terms of competing. Do you want us to wait until the middle 8s are upon us to turn it around again?

you really are grasping at straws now

A really bad one as well. We were the worst team in Super League before his arrival. He saved them from relegation, and we still never learn.

I couldn't care less what was said before, who is right or wrong, just everyone move on and accept what is in front of our eyes, the club is poorly managed from an on field point of view, which if not careful or maybe even is, will move to the off field very soon if not sorted.

We can not get out of it by persisting with the current set up.

Hetherington must take his share of the flak too. his recruitment has been awful.
the squad is full of championship standard players.

Agreed, and I think its unfair that BM gets all the stick. We just came off just about our worst season ever, and our "recruitment" consists of just about replacing one of our better players, plus two project Championship lads.

The only rationale for recruitment I can think of is that GH, BM etc all bought into the excuses for last year, combined with the hope that McGuire (in particular) would come back to his best and one or more kids would develop enormously. Without some very odd reasoning the lack of at least starting the rebuilding by bringing in a couple of quality players just defies belief..

don' think anyone was expecting something as strange as last night

Why he started lilley on the bench i dont know, every week the halves get switched around during the game. For a team so badly lacking structure they need some consistency in that area. Lilley and mcguire should have started 6&7 with Sutcliffe BR, Walters is beyond average

Well, I arrived in York teatime, left the missus and headed over to Castleford without prebooking a ticket and hoped there was a pay at the gate.

I made it to the ground in time, there was a pay at gate. Got my pint, and I was buzzing for the game. Jeezo, that was as miserable a performance as anybody could have ever seen. I was gutted, so left when they racked up 50. After watching that I wish id never gone. It left me traumatised!

Been a crap couple of weeks. My 2 loves Hearts ( season ticket holder), and the Rhinos have both bent over and took it up the farter! Hearts are murder right now, so was hoping seeing the Rhinos in the flesh for the 3rd time would make up for Hearts being pish.

But no, right now they are both murder. Hopefully pop down to Headingley again later in the year, it cant get any worse that that. (Lets hope no anyway!)
