Well i would agree the ref was absalutly crap you must be off your head if you think by having 12 extra penaltys agaings a team youy hhave gained no advantage you have got an avrage 200 plus meters with no effort whilest forcing you apponents to expend far more enagy deffending the penaltys get real the game is not that complacted

lots of effort yesterday and great to see the young lads not throwing the towel in but with this squad I cant see us winning a game we need 2 props and 2 halfbacks and thats only the start Its going to be a real battle to finish 13th
and where do we get the players from even IF the new board have the money to bring players in

We were missing mcgoldrick, aspinwall, fozzard, isa, thompson and owen.

It wasnt a full strength cas side, we were rusty and hudson missed most of the match leaving a young kid to play hooker all game but we still managed to score more tries than any other team this weekend so i'm happy enough, thought we looked better than yourselves, quins, salford, catalans and on a par with crusaders, fc, leeds and bradford.

The ref was terrible for both sides but in the end probably did wakey a favour as if we were able to get into full flow i think we would have scored 3 or 4 more tries.

Even though you were out played your team, with alot of young lads in it, put up a good fight which you should all take some pride in.

Good news you have found new owners and your future is secured, all the best wakey fans.

But who would they replace and would you be a stronger team with the changes?

IMO no!

We were rusty also,
Milner is already a better hooker and dummy half than Hudson and you were stronger with him in the team.

We were missing Jeffries who would definitely have made us better as Hyde did nothing at half back

Fozzard for Emmitt
Owen for Dixon
Isa for Holmes with Ferres moving to second-row.
I'd have McGoldrick in the 17 but for who I don't know. Made difficult by the impressive performance of Milner and Arundel yesterday.

You can't think he'd make that much difference then!

Owen for Dixon, yep

Holmes, i'd leave him be he did not look out of place.

Milner and Arundle earned a starting shirt.

He made more metres than any of Cas player last season and his go forward is significant in our attacking style.

But he obviously won't dislodge Mathers at full-back or Orr and Chase at half-back. The only realistically place for him is on the bench or at centre.

I'd maybe have him at centre but I think we've brought Isa over for a reason so it would be silly of us not to play him. I'm so glad I'm not Terry Matterson.

Do you want McGoldrick on loan?

Penaltys are all well and good but when you get the amount that he was dolling out yesterday they are much more of a hinderence than a help, the game was never allowed to flow more than 4 tackles on the trot so basisally stopped any kind of movement and kept the game closer that it otherwise may have been.

Isa or mcgoldrick would have been at centre,ferres would have been loose, owen would have replaced dixon, aspinwall would have replaced jones, and fozzard pulled up just before the game and was replaced by jackson.

I know you were rusty also, just making the point we will play far better than that as the year goes on.

Milner is quality but hudsons defence is very good and as good as milner is having play nearly as the game blunted his effectivness, when a team loses a player early on it makes things harder for the remaining 16.

Rubbish binned, carry on.

Always cheers me up watching Oli
