Cas got the job done. Deserved 2 points.



With Delaney and Bailey going off early on with knocks, the packs juice was going to be tested more as the game went on. So I know they had to keep freshening the pack as best as they could. But with 5 mins left to take off JP to bring back on Achurch was a risky call IMO. We could have done with JP's experience to see the game out down the middle.

I was impressed with Achurch, he ran it in hard and got through the graft. However he did a couple of dodgy offloads which would probably have come off in better conditions.

Dont think there is one.

The sky camera's are inconclusive.

Not sure if any other camera's where there to pick it up.



Watching from the WRE it just looked a good hard hit. I'm sure the RFL will get it right on this one

On a dry pitch in sunny conditions, Achurch would have probably ended up with a 10/10 performance.



On a pitch like that and in those conditions, either he is brain dead or he was having a brain fart. Cost us big time with his stupidity. The offloads he tried were never on.



He ran onto the ball hard, and he made yardage, and he should have kept at that, simple.

Achurch put a shift in. But in those conditions you have to keep it simple. Achurch wasn't the only guilty party. Burrow and Kirke dropped a few clangers between them.



Nice to see some constants remain:



- Leeds are fifth.

- The curse of the pink kit continues.

- McGuire scored against Cas again.

- Wellar knocked on.

- Ben Cross got sent off this week.

I've only seen it once , side on, from the game and Zak was out before he hit the floor. Read into that what you will.

Jp was goosed

You're always gonna struggle to win games if you're on the wrong end of successive penalties (rightly or wrongly awarded), you lose to much cheap ball and you get pinged for forward passes (again, rightly or wrongly awarded). In fairness to Cas, they don't seem to try and gain an advantage by passing the ball flat/slightly forward, hence they weren't pulled for it. Losing Delaney and Bailey so early was always going to cost us on such a draining pitch and JJB wasn't 100% after a facial cut and then almost being knocked cold reduced his effectiveness. Hardakers exit really was the icing on the cake when we were already struggling. On another day we might have pinched it, but I can't complain about Cas getting the 2 points. We wanted a good workout in preparation for the WCC, I'm not sure we wanted one this good though

Defeat isn't terminal, let's just hope the injuries don't impact too much on our immediate aims.

So was lincoln withers on saturday.

Head clashes do that to you.



Lets hope the RFL look at it and we get the true findings.

Not look at it being rangi chase and automaticly find him guilty.

Any other player and nothing would be made of it.

Don't get me wrong, I love a big hit. But when the elbow hits the end of your chin, something's saying it wasn't a good tackle! #justsaying

Will watch footage on sl show then pass judgement. The cas team beat u up yesterday and it showed in the last 10 of the game. Cas will not b a soft touch this season we have some passion and are out to make bid hits on the opposition long may it continue.

Has Chase been treated unduly harshly in the past?
