He was perfectly placed for the drop goal at that time though. Why wait until it is anticipated? Better to do it when it's not anticipated and you're in the perfect position. It was needed as we weren't exactly running away with the game. Good game management by Wilkin there I'd say.

But his kicking was awful and I don't understand the persistence with kicking early in the tackle count. That just wears us out even further. Maybe that's a Cunningham game plan, along with four forwards on the bench and no interchange for an exhausted Roby.

The occasional kick early in the tackle count is fine, but we seem to be kicking on the 4th or earlier more often than we should. It's not unexpected anymore.

Can't understand people saying the drop goal wasn't the correct decision.

Also that buffoon on sky who couldn't add up the score and work out it put us the scores clear and killed the game.

I truly hate the sky coverage.

They're bafoons. Watch the game but listen to radio commentary is the way forward

First game I've been to for a while and was expecting Cas to get the backlash from last weekend but we were dire. Overall I thought it was the worst game I've watched for ages and the stadium atmosphere was non-existent. We really really need to improve. Mind you we started off last year like this, winning when playing badly and look where we ended up.

Definitely wins the prize for comedy try with that pass from Carney to Jones.

And another thing, why did we keep going to the right when Cas's right winger could hardly even stand up? I think I could have got past him down that side. They just didn't seem to be aware of it even though he'd been on the ground getting treatment for about 5 minutes.

That drove me mad too. We need to be more ruthless

The drop goal was the right idea but not on 2nd tackle! It should have been on 5th or we should have pinned them down at their end.

Instead we actually gave them extra time to score, we put them up our end of the field and they scored. Surley playing the clock down with few extra tackles and then dropping a goal or putting little kick and pinning them down there.

We may have given them more time to score but we also gave ourselves time to defend. That our defence is so shoddy is a concern. Kicking a meaningful drop goal when in the right position to do so is not a concern.

Maybe I expect more and have different ideas but Imo we gifted them the field position and time to score.

Gifting the field position was more to due with attitude at the kick off. If the drop goal went over and we then drove them back down field, no one would mention it.

As for SKY. It's like Wigan central up there. Eddie will go with whatever someone tells him and everyone else telling him is from Wigan.

Terrible balance of opinion.

It was truly awful to listen to. Can't think of a single sky pundit that I find entertaining.

I'm not too keen on O'Connor and McDermutt. Think they're a bit boring. The others I don't mind. Carney though is ace.

The other week (might have been us at Salford) they were looking at whether it was a penalty try. Cummings interpretation being it wasn't a 100% certainty he would have scored given the players was in mid air when gaining control of the ball (same interpretation would happen in the NFL). Anyway, Stevo chipped in to support Cummings after the others disagreed;

STEVO: To be fair to Stuart, he didn't write the rule book.

(SLIGHT PAUSE)

CARNEY (laughing): For a minute then, I thought you said read.

Cas did get some bum calls, but it swings and roundabouts during the season. It was nothing that affected the result. Sky aren't helped by the donut that is Stuart Cummins, who'd defend murder by a referee, and Eddie just listens to every word he says.

I'm just greatful we didn't get the usual beating we get from you every season.
