Not having a dig here but for McDermott to come out and start blaming the ref is poor,it doesn't matter what the ref does it's still down to the team to get the result, it's swings and roundabouts with the refs you just have to play through it.

Sutty is not a super league quality half back end of.Like others have said he goes missing too often,and his defence is not up to scratch,but there again you could level that accusation at a few tonight.Very disappointing performance!

I would agree it want the refs fault. He was poor but both ways. But he isn't the first coach to criticise a re

I don't know about everybody else, but I always think that it reflects badly when a coach, or for that matter players and fans, blame the Ref. Always smacks of deflection. Maybe McD is feeling the pressure from this poor start to the season.

As others have said last tackle options tonight were hopeless. One crossfield kick from burrow was flat straight to cas winger behind line. Hardaker was a headless chicken - grubbers with nobody follwing up. Sutcliffe in 2nd half agiain dummies right, gets tackled does not even know it is last tackle. Coach has to take blame because they pass down line and panic with no set idea of what to do. When your best footballer is at prop you are in bother. Eaton could kick, would have thought he should be taking them and doing some work.

Would like to see penalty count in 2nd half. It felt like child murdered us. The one where ablett got done when with ball near there line was madness.

Child was his usual complete lottery self. To blame the fer when you know how unpredictable he is just smacks of desperation.

Mac does not often blame the ref and we know Leeds can not cope when Child is in charge , he seems to get a kick out of Leeds getting beat , but lets not lose sight of the fact that game was there for the taking and the coach and players were the main culprits in our loss

2nd half I had penalty count ending at 5 each (9 each overall) - sequence to:L,C,C,L,L,C,C,L/C,L,C,C,C,C,L,L,L,L

McDermott spoke of the early Cas tries then all their other tries when they only scored the three in total. Probably felt like more with Cas having at least two efforts ruled out.

Think I had given in by time he gave us that late run. We were useless then with 2 mins to go. More panic in their 20

Too right!

The reason why we are all so angry/pi$$ed off/upset as this was the one major chance to get a shocking season (so far) on track!

The flip side is a loss would totally f*cking derail our season!

And here we are.

Our biggest game for many many years and we totally blew it.

We could have won it but failed.

How the he'll was an early season game at Vas "our biggest game in many, many years"? We're not playing well, but come off it.
