Fair enough, maybe Halibut made the right decision. However, it means that there have been a few wrongs ones this year where they count has not been restarted!

I actually checked this myself as I was convinced it had changed but according to the RFL site it hasn't.
Thierry was his usual awful self today. How did he give a knock on against Green in the second half (from which Cas scored) when he was tackled short? It was either play on (which I think it was) a penalty for a double movement or a try. He still had hold of the ball ffs.

You also have to credit, as I mentioned in my report, whoever (I think it was Sam) got the offside penalty away so quickly up the other end of the field. It was a great range finder and didn't give Cas a second to breath. From a bugs dick to taking the lead, they were all of a sudden on huge defence, and never recovered. Would have been so easy to slow it down and keep it calm trying to defend a point, having lost an 18 point lead, but that was as important as Lockers great pass for me.

| Sam had a stinker (has he started to believe his own hype?), Lockers was awesome, Smith had a torrid day in defence, Allibert is irrational, but consistent with it.
I could be wrong but it seems to me that Cas's pitch is on a slight but noticeable slope. I'm pretty sure we were attacking uphill in the 2nd half, stands to reason that of the two tiring teams the one running downhill will score more.

Sam is not a fullback !
Get him in the halves where he doesn't have to run the full length of the field and defend too much.

| Tomkins was on the line, it was right in front of me - both feet actually - don't let his whinging put you off that.
That being said, after being sinbinned for dissent last week, and whinging at the lineo this week, it's a worry that he seems to be a little bit up-himself over his can of soup, but that's what being a pin-up for rugby league will do I suppose...
Anyway, a really tough game to call when we got back into it, thoroughly enjoyable game and a great advert for the sport.
Just disappointing that I still haven't seen a cnsistent referee.
Thanks for making a great atmosphere see you in a few months guys!

| Entertaining game.
What really stood out for me is the improvement in Castleford and particularly some of their new signings. I thought Hauraki from Leeds played well and caused us some problems with some strong running down the middle, I was a bit suprised when Leeds let him go but he seems to have settled in very well as Castelford.
Another player to catch the eye was the young scrum-half and goal kicker Jamie Ellis, he never gave up and seemed to have a good understanding with Chase - that combination will cause plenty of teams problems this season and Ellis looks to be just the sort of player Castleford have lacked recently - when he kicked the 40/20 I really feared for Wigan.
Webster is a beast and full of class, he really used his experience to cause our young back line problems and he is the kind of player that you would like to see covered by a George Carmont but he really flourished against our inexperienced back line.

| Point worth noting for Cas fans, Watch Boots and All this week and learn what a forward pass is, it seems to happen a lot whenever we travel to either Wakefield or Castleford it's always the refs fault and you always seem to hurl unneccesary abuse at them, Leeds united play just down the road i suggest you follow them in future. Desicions go for you sometimes and sometimes they dont but first half we were penalised 7 to your 1 so you cant blame the ref for losing but it was a great game overall!
