Agree 100%, who decided to extend his contract?

Does Applegarth just have a year's contract? If so then either sack or make him sell programs for the rest of the season. We clearly have some talent in this team yet week after week we churn out this e. Get rid of Lino too.

The thing that got me was Cas were down to 2 subs on the bench after half time, yet we used our 8 interchanges before them. Cas clearly wanted it more, you could see on the field, the score line. We are a shambles. I’d genuinely be happy to not see a fair few players wear the colours again as they are either not good enough or are not bothered.

I'd even add to that one of the worst overseas signing by any club in the super league era.

I'd be happy if he never pulled on the red, white and blue again.

Personally I thought Lino went ok last night, the least of our problems in my opinion.
We created enough chances to score 30 odd points, but consistently bombed them every time the ball moved wide. Lyne Lineham and Senior were constantly out of position, and looked like headless chickens in both attack and defence. I am not even sure we had anyone playing right edge SR for most of the game.

I thought going into the game we might win..
But I’m afraid too many of our players were not at the races tonight..
We managed to get back in the game in the first half and I thought we had them on the back foot.,but the 5th tackle kick from cas (after we’d applied good pressure )that Linham dropped on our own 40 let cas off the hook…. They scored from this and the mistake from Griffin with 2 minutes to go before halftime.
More disturbing was that even after Griffins second try.. we seemed to loose any direction in the game…
I think we still have a chance to stay up, but I also think it will be extremely difficult

And yet after we scored our second try to go in the lead the Cas forwards looked jaded as they ambled back onside. At that point I thought we’d start to get on top.
How wrong was I. Started with the Lineham knock on and the now usual capitulation followed.
There are a few in the team who need to be dropped because they were anonymous last night.
I don’t think the forwards were dominant enough and, sadly, our back three were below par. Where the hell was Proctor? Was he injured?
Bad day again. Big crowd let down - again.
Mathematically still possible to stay up but I just can’t see it. Some of the players are just not good enough.
BTW Ashurst is NOT captain material.

We haven't just handed Cas 2 valuable points, we also handed momentum and confidence over to them, which
I feel will be even more costly. We can still stay up, but it will be extremely difficult now.

We've handed them four points. We have truly been the architects our our down fall.

I thought that too. Cas looked shell shocked straight after our two quick tries. Missing both conversions didn't help but the soft kick that Lineham dropped gave them just the lift they needed.

Re Lino, why hasn't he been goal kicking recently?
Last season he was kicking them from all over.

Some changes needed for next week for sure. There were some performances that weren’t up to scratch last night.

Salford game we simply must turn up and claim 2 points.

As I said before the game they were always going to attack us on the edges. Danny Ward had the same style at London to ship it to the edges at every opportunity. That’s exactly what they did.

Think a few changes now need to happen: time to go big or go home. It’s no longer just 2 points etc. I get Mash keeping them calm but now the urgency needs to be pressed onto the players.

Go big or go home from the start.

I’d bring back in Franco and Croft on the edges.

Dagger at 6 with Gale.

Whitbread to 13 and Griffin to right SR. Tanginoa to left SR if he’s fit.

I’d have Bowes and Eseh back in too. Maybe give Salabio a shot.
