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.
Quote: Father Ted "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 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.

| 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.

My understanding is due to rule changes coming in Powell's wages (or at least some) won't count on the salary cap for some time as he is a "new talent" to RL. It didn't used to apply to the likes of him but I believe it does now. It was for younger players I think.
If I am right look forward to more of the same from all clubs.

I'm not sure about the "let's fling the union chump in at short notice against them, its only Cas" It was more to do with the fact we are lacking numbers in the pack and had a lot of battered body's from Monday. He's got to play at some point so today was probably a good day to give him a run out.

| Re the above. Just having a quick peruse for some perspective on the result because I've only read match reports, but didn't Wigan have Coley available instead of said union chump? Not saying they picked him out of disrespect, but I get the feeling that Coley would have been picked against a more fancied side.

I get that, but then name him in the 19. Plus (not that im complaining) but what was up with Tomkins? A fair few South Sydney players backed up less then 48 hours after Origin for their side today, in ironically enough, similar conditions.

Sam had a bit of a knock. I'd guess if you got to be champions by finishing top he would have played, as you don't it was a case of protecting your assets. Sam picked up an injury at the end of last year ruling him out of the last play off game, which we ultimately lost as a result of a mistake from his understudy. We are 9 points clear of 5th place so top 4 in reality is in the bag. I wouldn't be surprised to see Sam and others not risked, rested or whatever you want to call it over the rest of the season.

Also ironically, when he is playing for South Sidney next year, he will be the one getting the rest in whilst his team mates are playing origin. (sorry, slight troll there )
