I agree it was difficult to watch at times, even Leon Pryce has tweeted about being sick of hearing the whistle as well. I think Cas not being at their best can be forgiven but a very boring game with little quality from either side. I think it says a lot when a winger who scored a couple of walk ins is voted as the fans MOM.

What an odd post. I was clearly referring to AS108. Personal insults betray your lack of intellect and maturity. Hurry up and get ready for school now.

| Thought Warrington did enough without having to move through the gears. Without wanting to take anything away from Warrington I thought Cas were dreadful.

Excellent clarification.

| For a top of the table clash I thought the game was generally fairly average, Wire were very poor in the first 20 mins, there were a few good individual moments but not a lot of quality and intensity on show otherwise we would have seen Chris Hill's baby dummies all over the pitch. Cas had 2 centres that were never at the races and Wire didn't take advantage to score more points, both teams seemed to be happy doing battle between the 20-20 areas of the pitch for most of the game.

| Average fare that I ended up half-watching - not an especially big test for Wire, and not a huge surprise that Cas stuttered; I think they may have had some injuries?
As an aside - what the hell has happened to Chris Hill? He's become a penalty machine *and* a cry-baby.

Oh dear, not obsessed then ?
How close do you think the 2 sides were to being full strength ?
Cas will be hoping to stay in touch with the top 4 and then have something close to a full strength squad (apart from Gale), for the business end of the season and they will certainly be challenging but, you know that anyway and as Catalan showed last season, it's who turns up for the big games that will decide any silverware and round 5 is just a little too soon to either be cocky or to write ANY side off

| Too much 4r5eholing about in the tackle for that to be a good game to watch.
It defines a lot of games these days, who is the best at reefing, grappling, conning and then bitching about it......well Wire on this occasion, 14 points better..:/

Obviously the only reason Wire won then? Total nonsense

He was saying that the messing around in the ruck is waking the game less attractive to watch and he's right.
I dont think it was given as the reason for Wire comfortably beating Cas, that was down to their crippling injury list

Well no, but as an RL fan, I had to turn it off.
That can't be good
I'm not interested in what else wire did, @ 60 mins the game was a ruin already, both teams played their part in that.

Whilst I agree that messing around at the PTB attackers and defenders and conning ref's is an unsavoury element of the game, ANY game I don't think that this game was any worse than any/most games and I'd be happy if it was penalised correctly and consistently out of the game.
However what the poster seemed to be saying was that Wire were 14 points better at doing this stuff than Cas so the reason that we won, which is wrong IMO.
Apart from the first 20 we were the better team but hats off to Cas, a decent showing considering I believe that they might have been missing a few

| For my eyes, Cas seemed to have better ruck speed than us. We seemed to take longer to play the ball. Perhaps that's over caution by us defensively after giving away too many penalties last week around the play the ball area.

Due to lying on of the cas players. The ref seemed to think he only needed to allow one team a fast ruck.
