I'd have gladly taken the 2 points.
FWIW I enjoyed the game & I can live with the result.
The Chase incident should have been handled differently but had we held on to the ball better in that last 5 minutes we could & should still have won.

It was a hard fought match and we ended up losing, albeit narrowly, I am remembering last seasons Wigan thumping us at HQ also us coming unstuck at saints. Those results were harder to take than the cas game.

You're not really that naive to think that referees don't react in relation to other peoples reactions (i.e the crowd and the players) at times are you ? There's only Tim Roby knows what Tim Roby saw, but had a melee involving irate Leeds players and Rangi Chase ensued around an unconscious Zak Hardaker I'm sure he would have red carded Chase. In my opinion Roby played it safe because the Leeds players acted as if nothing untoward had happened. Contrast that to a more "assertive" reaction from our players following Luke O' Donnells ultimately innocent challenge that KO'd Kirke, yet resulted in a red card, and you'll see where I'm coming from.

Fair enough I suppose. Bigger fish to fry etc.

The thing is he DID see it because he ruled a knock on. He saw it and saw nothing wrong with it. I doubt he is a decent ref from what I have seen of him.

Of course, as TVOC says, I do not know definitively, but it's hardly a stretch that a relatively young inexperienced referee might have been influenced by a reaction.

As it was the Leeds players lack of indignation at the foul probably merely reinforced Roby's view that he'd got the call right, which he clearly hadn't.

Well Kevin Brown tried not so long ago to 'play dead' and Mr Bailey grabbed him up by the scruff of the neck and dealt him a couple of blows. Justice on the run!

An alternative view of that incident is that Brown was actually unconscious & Bailey thought it safe to belt him.

When Massey got sin-binned Leeds should have scored another couple of tries in that ten minute spell. The error rate was uncharactaristic for Leeds and nothing out of the ordinary for Tigers.

The big hit from Daz Clark on Kernhorst (sp?) won the game for Cas IMO.

What's tomorrow's euro millions number's going to be

Correct. It was a regular season 'nothing' game - utterly meaningless to all the Leeds players and everyone at the club. Had it been a game against Widnes with Ben Cross getting sent off for assaulting Zak Hardaker in similar fashion to his assault on Paul Wellens, I've no doubt the attitude and response of the Leeds players would have been docile and relaxed.

I like Bails but he wouldn't stand a chance. Sculthorpe would be too quick for him.

He may be lucky and catch him though.
