GAME ON : Castleford Tigers v St. Helens - 19:45:00 GENERAL CHAT ABOUT THE GAME, BUILD UP, THE ACTION AS IT HAPPENS AND AFTERMATH BELOW.

Never a try. Embarrassing call. Even at first glance in full speed it looked like he lost control.
Not great positioning by the ref.

Its just getting ridiculous isn’t it. Stone cold dropped it and video ref gives it. This needs sorting out now not next season everybody watching can see thats not a try.

Cas fans booing and chanting cheat after a perfectly good try, even though they just got awarded that one is laughable!

Awesome run by Barba and awesome chase back by Watts. Good speed for a prop and the right attitude to never give up on a play.

Cas haven't learned from the kicking tactics they employed the other week. Any kick near Benny Barbiturate results in a full lengther

laughable wasnt it, id be a bit embarrassed if i was a cas fan haha

awful attempt to tackle on barba though

I'm having doubts about this ball, there is no way the kickers are this bad tonight that ball design needs looking at

Saints are better this year than Cas were last year. Great rugby.

Best thing about Cas tonight was their shot kick-offs, they've had a fair bit of practice mind.

Perhaps. I suspect if they make either final, or both, they'll not be easy-beats.

Powell just completely embarrassed himself there, along with the Cas fans moaning all night at the referee when they got most decisions from the ref. Another easy win for us and a step closer to a home semi-final. Excellent performance. Phil Clarke hilarious saying the score should have been closer.

I think his team embarrassed him

Let's be honest, did he say anything wrong?
Cas can't defend
Saints were great
Refereeing has been an issue for a long time, he wasn't specifically referring to tonights game, but the bigger issue.

Ganson, underfunding and poor training for officials is a huge issue in the game but everyone has already decided to pass it off as sour grapes but will still moan about the refs the next time their team plays.

Bit childish that from Powell. At the start of the game spoke about not being bothered about beating lower teams and wanting to test themselves against the better sides. Not so cocky 80 minutes later.

Cas got as many calls as saints did. Awarded a try which never was. Had a few knock on calls against saints that never were.

Love powell but ffs don't blame the ref tonight. Acknowledge our failings in defence , acknowledge how good saints are but christ leave it there.

Saints are riding a good wave at the minute. They must be the only side to use as few as 22 players.

They are ruthless and tough right now.

When things don't go our way we are way too soft. We will improve with Eden Webster and eventually gale back in there. Ellis is an overweight championship half, Roberts should finish and Shenton is a good centre playing out of position.
