Chance to get on a roll tonigh and made to look ordinary by Cas, what grinds my gears most is daryl Powell.
Burrow e again, we need McGuire back, top for really starting to look like a mountain to climb now.

Thought we powered up the field really well. When we got to their 20 we conspired to mess it up and hardly got to a kick. Very disappointing

Every match I've watched this season I've felt like we've had the rough end of the stick when it comes to reffing the ruck. Twice tonight a Cas player lost the ball cold and they were given a penalty. Not only should we have had a penalty at the back end of the Sutcliffe break but Gale (?) should have been sinbinned, and on both of our knock ons inside their ten the entire Cas line was offside, but Childs didn't want to know - of course he was more interested when it was at our defensive end.

Going back further in the season the amount of laying on in the ruck has been absolutely appalling. Naturally Wigan were the worst for it, but in just about every game it's been a case of the referee waiting for them to clear rather than demanding that they do, and as a result our game has suffered.

Don't get me wrong, we've got issues, and there's every chance Cas would have won without the lopsided refereeing, but I'm getting pretty sick of watching a game and wondering if at any point the opposition is going to be penalised for relentlessly slowing us down.

Baffling team selection. Baffling use of interchanges. Baffling lack of attacking structure (players too lazy to offer themselves as decoys).

Clear this team needs to hear a different voice, as it's clearly not listening to the current one. Hardly a surprise though, he's about as inspirational as a valium.

And is there any chance someone could have a word with Hardaker? Seems to think he's the new Darren Lockyer, and he really isn't. Killed so many plays going on his own, and his last tackle options were mediocrity personified.

Anyone who wants to blame Child for that loss needs their head looking at. Cas had a perfectly good try for McShane chalked off, and Hardaker knocked on in the move that lead up to the Watkins try. Could have been much worse without those calls.

While burrow is gash sutty isn't far behind, but escapes a lot of the flack. He hides doesn't lead a team around the park. I would be happy if he was trying to lead the team around and failing at least he learns by that and would happily give him time but he is showing no leadership or halfback play

Agree re the red he wasn't the issue

Child is also a disgrace his decisions are appalling he should be sacked and never get a look in at rugby league again.

And regarding Hardaker if we had a halfback hopefully he wouldn't have to. He seems to me at least trying something the two halfback disappear when we need them

Mcdermott criticising Childs on camera, not sure he is right, think maybe he needs to have a chat with his own bunch and tell them to stop killing themselves with silly blatant infringements.

Mcdermot "Castleford didn't deserve to score those trys" what a

Yes I would agree child was his usual crap self but crap both sides and not the reason we lost

Agree that our forwards got us up the field pretty well and we were clueless in their 20. I really do not know what Burrow offers us. He offers absolutely nothing in both attack or defence. His kicking game does not exist and if he is our captain and inspiration we have a problem. Cas won that on sheer guts and determination. If McGuire can't turn us around we are in deep do dah. Top 4 not a chance.
