| Our Leader's words of wisdom!
McNamara said: "I was disappointed with both tries as we could have done a whole lot more.
"Michael has come back from injury and come up with a couple of quality finishes."
The Bulls are enduring a frustrating spell with players sidelined through injury and consistency is sadly lacking.
"We would have liked to push on today but every time we did that we gave away a penalty and were punished," said McNamara, whose side scored through Elliott Whitehead, Steve Menzies, Brett Kearney and Michael Platt.
"We got some great opportunities and didn't quite take them. There was maybe a bit of edginess about us, but there didn't need to be.
"Without being really fluent I thought we did enough to win the game, but I must say Castleford did extremely well to hold on to the ball.
"We weren't at our best but we're still in the mix for the top eight.
"It's our job to get ourselves out of this lull."
Perhaps another letter to Stuart Cummings would help!

The Bulls could certainly do with as many supporters as possible right now, but they could certainly manage without your 'support'. People have every right to be utterly cheesed off with today's performance, it was below acceptable.
However the fact that you couldn't wait to get on here, despite not even seeing the game says a lot about your character. I'll leave it at that, I know you can be a sensitive little flower.

| It was shocking any positives were far outweighed by the negatives. Also once again the use of the bench was as baffling as ever not to use Addy at all was a sin in those conditions.

No arguments there. I was baffled why McNamara left Worrincy on so long when Addy has looked useful this year. At least he would have drove the ball forward with some purpose and he's tackled well IMO in the games he's played.

There is a few on here who are the just like Eddie who never go to games but post crap after crap when ever we lose.
It really is pathetic.
Get up off your and go and support the club you claim to follow.

The ball was knocked out by bulls player so play on and chase touched the ball down - perfectly good score!!

| Poor again. Lack of ideas, lack of commitment, lack of technique. Pathetic use of substitutions - a baking hot day and an unused sub. Why? Brilliant strategy. Cas were poor (no offence meant - I am sure most Cas fans would agree) they missed at least 8 points in kicks, dropped it a lot, etc, yet still made us look like the shambles we are. A better team (or a better performing Cas) would have posted 40 again easily. I am beginning to wonder why I bother going, the team obviously aren't bothered.

I went. You may not respect my posts but I do have two working eyes! We were dire. We were clueless going forward and pathetic in defence. Two tries in front of me for Shenton came from neither Halley or Nero being d to even try to challenge for the ball. And to have Addy on the bench and not use him smacks of insanity.
The player looked knackered about half way through the second half and they were totally out enthused throughout. I am beginning to wonder if they do actually want to win games anymore.

Might not always agree with your posts, but I respect them. And seems anyway that you are expressing the same opinion as others who went. Is this our worst ever losing run in SL? I honestly thought we should and would have won this one. Running out of games to have a decent shot at, let alone in, the playoffs. Can't all be down to the effect of the injuries? Hard not to feel concerned, reading the first-hand reports.

| I groaned when I heard the announcer only say Kopzcak's name (Out of the props) on the bench.
When one of our props is in his first match back from injury then the decision to go with 3 props is ridiculous, and to only use 3 of your bench players just screams of a coach who doesn't have a clue.
I'm beginning to feel the same way towards McNamara as I did towards the back end of last season. It looked like he'd sorted things out but after a good start we've gone back to the same old ways of a McNamara coached team. I hope we get a good coach in for next year (it would be quite hard to do much worse than Macca though) but I fear for England in the 4n, I really do!

Which one was that? One for our try. I thought it was knocked-on and will be watching the replay later on but can only assume that the linesman and ref thought it was pulled out - which I can sort of see why - and it was grounded after.

I was at the opposite side of the ground tbf, but it looked very suspicous. The ref will have had a much better view though, but I will be watching on the replays.

| I understand your all dissapointed but i think the amount of fans you brought was good and in good voice aswell, I obviously don't watch you play week in week out, but on paper your a top team! but i just can't understand why your not firing.
