Oh c'mon. He put his hand up to play, but the England docs wouldn't allow it.

4, with two of our best players missing out completely.

We had 5-

Lockers
McIlorum
J Tomkins
Richards
Leuluai

Still no excuse though. Missed chances in the 2nd half and a huge drop in intensity cost us that game. It's not the first time it's happened this year either and we had no exiles game excuse ready then.

I can't remember ever arguing against that, 22-4 at half time, but when those decisions go like that its frustrating. Also apparently Goulding held up another one which was given.

First half we played the conditions well and Cas didn't. Second half we started ok, but Pat's knock on with the line at his mercy plus our inability to grab any point what so ever. All that together spurred Cas on IMO. They improved and we just tired dramatically in the final 25. And not just the players who were backing up either.

I think Madge has made a mistake by not rotating his squad this season. We've played our best team in every game, even against poor sides. And were now paying the price for that.

Being critical McIlorum shouldn't have played today he was shattered. Crosby should have played also, not because we lacked go forward, but because other forwards such as Tuson and Farrel look to be tiring also.

I'm worried because nearly everyone had concrete boots on today by the end of the match, and with the fixtures we have coming up I think were close to running out of gas.

Leeds 16-10 Hull KR half time.

Come on Catalancs don't sit on the fence....

Did have 5 backing up and 2 missing because of the Exiles game have an effect on the result or not.

By the way it was you that mentioned MM not me, I was referring to fans opinions. By using the edit boxes selectively you can put anything out of context, not very clever!!

Not too disheartened about it to be honest, just gutted about the missed chances. It wasnt a bad performance, especially the first half. Just Cas wanted it more in the 2nd half.

Didnt agree with the treatment of Mathers from our fans, as soon as he came back on I knew he would score a decisive try and it serves all the kn0bs right, especially the way everyones been so up in arms about the treatment of Tomkins on friday.

Wait, we had SEVEN players in the Exiles match?

I thought you could only have three per side (England/Exiles).

3 for the exiles not for england

Come on P-J wake up.

The Exiles were restricted to 3 from one club but no restrictions on the England team. I think Wire had 8 involved.

I apologise for not knowing the rules for a game the RFL pulled out of the air. Clearly I'm an idiot.

Both had 7, King was withdrawn due to the birth of his child

You are not an idiot... we did have 3 in the Exiles and 3 in the England team originally but Roby pulled out and Mickey Mac was drafted in. Maybe this threw you , I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.

Thanks Pieman, see P-J even I got the numbers wrong.
