Balances out some of the shocking referreing performances against Catalans and Huddersfield that turned probable wins into defeats for us.
Swings and roundabouts, and all that........

I watched it on tv and Ben Westwards hands were nowhere near the ball when the cas player dropped the ball. It should not have been a penalty in the first place.

Words fail me about tonight.

The players only looked really interested for the last twenty minutes.

Ive no problem with that one, it was incidental rather than a purposeful crusher tackle. This crusher tackle bolloxks is doing my head in this season, it's the new flavour of the month bad tackle now third man in at the legs scandal (im being sarcastic, there never was one, that was just the flavour of last month) has calmed down.

Sounds like the same tackle. I though Monaghan had tweaked his neck as he was regaining his feet, but as said its hard to see stuff like that as it happens.

How can you say the Penny try was perfectly good? It was clear as day on the first replay that it was Atkins who knocked the ball onto the Cas player! Blatant knock on and if it was given, it would have been a prime example as to why the ref sending a decision up as a try or not doesn't work.

Sounds like your TV may be faulty - need to get one of the rfl TV's which clearly show a different picture

Indeed. How can we not turn up tonight in a do or die game is beyond me. Intensity shouldve been full tilt from the off...then again we're just not good enough.

I thought it was more the fact Westwood had a bit if a second effort that forced the ball out rather that direct contact with the ball.
Regardless, it was stupid to concede a further 10m.

No excuses from me. Simply nowhere near good enough to be in the playoffs.

It's not clear as day, on the second angle, the cas player didn't get a hand on it. Atkins had two and then passed it back.

You must be stevo or whoever the video ref was (who was it?). I saw nothing conclusive - look at Atkins left hand which controls if first (back)

Stevie Wonder I think.

He didn't retaliate because he shat himself. He's one of the most over rated players in super league.

Whats happened to the Wire? They didn't look interested.
I thought Tony Smith gave a begrudging compliment to Cas when he said "enthusiasm can get you a long way" so why doesn't he instil that same enthusiasm into your team.
The big name players that Smith has at his disposal should have done much better. Taxi for Smith for me but would that leave you even worse with Agar?

Why do people talk absolute rubbish in this site?

Neither player was backing out of that little confrontation, they were both up for it and neither were ting it. Good on em both. And how is Sims overrated?who rates him? He's just a decent NRL older player who did okay throughout his late 20s there but was never spectacular and I've never really heard anyone say anything more about him.

Plus you were barely better than us in that game. It was a poor game from both sides. You barely got into our 20 in the first half, we just stuffed up loads of good opportunities as we spent most of the time in your half. Then you were better second half but still allowed us to score more points than we did in the first half even though we were worse in the second half. We were a poor call on that ball steal on Clark from certainly getting a draw, if not getting our own drop goal to win.
