Enjoyed both the mens games today and hats off to both referees who I thought let the game flow and didn`t sin bin someone for the sake of it.
Defence key to all 4 teams 

Watching  Hull v Cas. I always thought Courtney Hill was a classy women's RL player,  but she's also a lot more perceptive than most as a commentator.

Does that perception include seeing a tumble dryer on the field on a number of occasions ?  What on Earth was the silly woman on about ?

Being in the 'washing machine' is a common metaphor players and coaches use to describe how it feels when defending in RL. It's not that complicated to understand. 

Just very boring when used time and time again in a nasal Aussie accent. Maybe she could meet up with Baz and Tez down the pub and they could spend all day talking about “sticking it under their wing in the washing machine”. They sound as thick as pigs###. Add Robbie Paul and Mr Cliche Brian Noble into the mix and you’ve got the full set of drongos.

All Huddersfield had to do on that last set was find a deep kick or the sideline. Instead, Tui fluffs the kick and turns it over on half way.  Honestly, it never ceases to amaze me how 5hit he is.

Wakey blew it today, Jowett did a lumb and bombed a winning try, just dive for the line. 


Wakey win would have given us a 3 point (2 win) buffer over 4th place 

Good to see Lewis penalised last night for gobbing off. More of that would be welcomed, both for him and in general. 


On a wider point, the Sky love in with HKR is becoming unbearable. They are a very good side, of course, but they were playing a Cas side that seemed determined to beat themselves. The punditry last night was such that it's doubtful that the 82 Kangaroos would have stood much of a chance against them. 

Sky's full screen replays while there's live action happening are incredibly annoying. 

That wasn't even close to being a try by Litten. He clearly dropped it. Tom Grant strikes again. 

Then he gives a try only for the VR to rule it out.
Not sure how he keeps getting a game either as the man in the middle or the VR.
Week in and week out he gets decisions so badly wrong.
