Thank God with someone with some perspective.

| Quote: Eastbourne Warrior "There are many reasons a team doesn't perform. I'd go as far as to say, in RL lack of effort isn't one of them. It's impossible to play well every game, all teams have bad nights. If you have one when fatigued, missing a fair few players and when your opponents play well you will loose. It happens in all sports. '"
Sorry but the only player who looked like he wanted to win tonight was Charnley. The effort wasn't there from the rest.
Quote: Eastbourne Warrior "The only important thing is how we are playing at the end of the season when it really matters. We have to make sure the players carrying knocks are fit by then and we'll be in with a chance. Of course it would be nice to win every game and finish top but in reality it doesn't matter.'"
Well that is certainly true but things like confidence and momentum matter. Sport is not statistics.

| Quote: raceman "Totally agree on that one and said exactly the same when your score was announced at the John Smiths Stadium. We had exactly the same problem playing Saints on a Monday night then away to Hull KR on the Friday, and Hull KR usually play their games on a Sunday, wonder why they played our game on the Friday??? And our MD asked Hull KR if we could change the game to Sunday, HKR refused.
Think the RFL should get involved and say anybody playing on a Monday shouldn't have to play on the following Friday.'"
AFAIK both clubs and the rfl have to agree to move a game and understandably Cas said no.
I agree with Ian Millward after your loss at Hull that we should follow the NRL and say anyone playing Monday can't play until at least Saturday.

But none of their tries was as bad as Cas first try. We could have been 12 all at half time or 30 nil down. If Sl was really competative then we would have been humiliated.

I think we would also. What is your view on the 1st try? I thought Tierney grounded the ball so it was dead but the ref thought otherwise.

Watched it on sky when I got home and if that game was live it would not have beev given he loses the ball on the ground. So it looks like he grounded it.

You'd needs a slow motion close up to be sure, it looked as though Tierney grounded it. It also looked as though the cas player knocked it out and forward. Difficult to tell on both counts.

| Another problem too, Bentham was good last Monday, tonight he couldn't keep up with the game. The Monday/Friday turnaround was too much for him too.
So, who was the bright spark that had us play Friday?
AFAIK the home club decide when the fixture takes place. The away club have to comply.
We could do with a difinative answer on that one.

I think you are right. I can't remember what it was but there was a penalty in the 2nd half he gave and he can't have seen it as we was a good 30 meters away.

I thought both clubs had to agree and its obvious Cas would not but yes I'd like to know why as well.

Yes
Edit:
This year lost to Wire, Cas, beat Hull KR, Les cats and drew with Wire
Only had him twice last year, won both against Stains & Hull KR
2011 won 4 lost 2 and a draw
2010 lost all 5
Not quite as bad a i thought.

42181_1527427546.jpg "I'm sorry, but I would hope that we would beat Cas with a 1 day turnaround."
An arrogant Wigan fan a few days before we stuffed them 18-4 at the JJB.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_42181.jpg |
|
| Genuinely thought 18-4 flattered Wigan, Dixon missed 3 goals, Tansey a drop goal, plus for the first 20 or so, Wigan's goal line defence was very good & gave us nothing. Not sure if we weren't respected tonight or what, "let's fling the union chump in at short notice against them, its only Cas" (On another note, will you be paying him big bucks? Seems such a strange signing with the long list of young players coming through Wigan.) Gelling looks to be a better player then he was a year ago. I'm sure Wane will turn this "slump" around. He had some positive stuff to say about Cas at the end which was very respectful.
