He was definately concussed. Deacon looked concussed too when he came off.

I thought most of our playmakers looked concussed last night.... all match in fact.

Yep thats a fair call.

The defence around the rusk was pants.

We should sign one of the Farleys then. They'd sort that out, no bother.

Has anybody seen my coat?

I know we're no experts on winning of late, but as I recall the points system and winning/losing, being behind by 6 points isn't nearly beating someone.

You should recall Halley, he's looking in great form

Least that would get rid of his poor commentary at the moment.

too right. I'm not sure why the entire backline is getting such a slating.

We had nothing at halfback on Friday (both SO and SH) and it took Morrison moving to stand off to get anything going at all. I thought Nero and Sykes didn't do too badly and Tadulala was resorting to being an extra forward he was that starved of ball.

the forwards were laying the platform but lots of times there were forwards getting their hands free to turn and see nobody backing up. poor. Platt/Jeffries/Deacon should be doing this IMO.

I really don't know why the club are happy with Jeffries at this moment in time. We need a general there to organise the backs and get some moves and passes flowing.

They have tried and failed to bring in a replacement in Bird. they can only get in players that are willing and able to come here.

IMO, the difference between us and other clubs is all in the coaching and club philosophy. the abilities of the playing squads are all similar with a couple of exceptions at each end. that has come with salary capping and franchising.

I have been at both of castleford's home games this season, and they have a team of young lads, local homegrown players, journey men, and a couple of key players. what is clear is that they play to a pattern and that their halves are at the centre of everything. when he (sherwin) was absent Versus quins they were very poor. The spine of the team is very good and in Shenton they have a youngster who will run his guts out for his team. the most galling thing though is how impressive Feather, Ferres, Hudson and Evans have been. all players deemed not good enough for us for various reasons.

How many of our players have points to prove? Deacon is beyond criticism by many, but why?? the same applies to newton. we need a new broom through the squad and the coaching staff. and we need to start this as soon as. starting witha new head coach and coaching staff!

wasn't Evans leaving down to some daft ruling about home grown players?

And the reasons Hudson went have been very well documented.

and we all knew feather had a good game in him, it was just keeping him fit that was the problem.

Exactly. And I think in Scruton we have a far better prop.
