I called it at the start of page 12 on this thread so not using it as an excuse after the event but the two day extra rest for Cas proved massive for me.

They dominated right from the start and we just never got going and seemed to lack energy and enthusiasm for the task right from the start.

They signalled their intent starting Watts who's been coming off the bench recently....we couldn't live with him and Westerman making real easy metres and offloading for fun....our forwards were just happy to amble in and get dominated on the floor leading to painfully slow play the balls giving the backs nothing to work with..

Not for the first time this season we reverted to panic rugby at times which made matters worse...a night to forget for sure...

Just hope the injured players are back for Monday as we need big changes...

Miller, Fifita, Batchelor, Aydin, Walker, Murphy, Shaw... should all come in if available and I'd rest/drop.. Arona, Battye, Hood, Ashurst, Pitts...

Lets hope Saints and Wigan is a belter today and they knock lumps out of each other...with our lack of effort last night and extra day rest might be a slight advantage come Monday if we freshen up right...

Fatigue was clearly an issue. We are not the only club that's ever happened to.

But we needed better tactics and squad rotation to handle that.

Saying that. I've just seen the McShane try. It's like a horror film.

No it wasn't mutual

We informed him that he would not be offered a contract.

I'd be looking at Ted Chapelhow from Newcastle, limited availability in the championship but he'd be a realistic option imo.

He would have made no difference yesterday so its a pointless point.

I'm fairly sure that MC came on here a while ago and said that we had been offered both Chapelhow brothers from Widnes (?) but he turned them down ??

I wasn’t making a playing point just confirming why the departure was not by mutual consent. I think you are getting a little to touchy in your support.

I'm more than fairly sure your right

It wasn't specifically aimed at you but he's been raised as a local lad we shouldn't have let go because he has passion but the point is pointless to me.

and how do you know that
