Just wrote a long and very insightful review of the game and then lost it somehow... so now I'm even more depressed... basics being that we lost it in forwards - surprise! Gaskell's tackling technique not good - he gave away their first try, think he'll be targetted, Odsal was depressing, especially because of the memories of previous seasons, oh and I blame employing Mcnamara for so long (bit more nuanced and complicated than that and includes Leeds and some egotistical dimwits, but that's the jist). They you have it, that's the condensed version... I'm retiring for the season, sort of...

This. If he can defend when he needs to every week, in the centres, like he did then that will be outstanding. For a centre.

Honestly thought there were 2 major turning points in the game. At 6-0 up Purtell made that break and Gale kicked it out on the full. If it had gone down the line through hands we would have scored and probably kicked on from there.

The second major turning point was when Castleford decided to introduce Lynch to the pitch. He made 10 plus metres everytime (as did one or two others) but a fit Lynch showed our tired forwards how it should be done. And his offloads were dangerous.

Other than being annoyed at missed tackles I suppose we all expected something like this given the calibre of players that have left and the week building up to the game.

Generally thought we missed Langley today. And also please tell me why the current set of players insist on tackling Justin Carney high instead of low? He's probably the biggest winger in SL in terms of build :/

If you go low on Carney he palms you off, and if you go high you bounce of him. He's a tank.

Is that the fat one?

Tackle his legs? Or is that too obvious?
