I was also surprised by Mr Child's leniency in respect of high shots; Mason and Huby were particularly bad - I thought they were lucky to avoid a team warning and someone in the bin. Agree with Slugger and to a lesser extent Carney - Chase has the capacity to win these close games for them, but he instead chooses to channel his energy into sulking and hunting down cheap shots - the blatant forearm to the face of the HKR scorer should have been dealt with more harshly in my view. He really is a nasty piece of work who, in my view, lets his team down on a regular basis; given his marquee status and the reputed size of his wages, I'd be royally pee'd off if I were a Cas fan - he doesn't deserve their loyalty or support.'"
I totally agree with this post.
I'm amazed by the reaction of some of my Cas supporting mates to last night's game. Huaraki seemed to be a standout for me, as were Huby and Chase - albeit the latter two for their niggling tactics.
On the Sky team, I think that Eddie and Stevo are awful, and their extended time in the role has given them an inflated sense of importance. Eddie has zero knowledge of how the game is played, and Stevo would have made an excellent expert 35 years ago. Clarke can be interesting but it's become a case of job preservation for them all, they see Eddie and Stevo talking nonsense and retaining their positions, so it's become monkey see monkey do.
