Ive had two people tell me, on different occasions, that he's cas bound. Theres a bit of a Leeds old boys reunion going on with Darryl Powell and theres a few ex, and soon to be ex, leeds players who are apparently cas bound because they want to play for Powell.

And you were talking ballcocks then as well. Obviously you were not at any game this season let alone this match. He has never been a massive breaker of tacked since moving to prop, we do benefit from quick ish ptb though. We are defensively better when he is on the pitch, I'm pretty sure he made 3 tackles than caused them to drop the ball, and he knocked on once, 9 out of 10 times?? You have lost any credibility you may have had.

I was certainly at the game maple and you not giving me credibility don't mean owt to me ,don t like the tone old lad just tellyourself that I obviously are more observant than you

We'll just ignore the way he gets dominated in the collision, missed 2 tackles that I at least saw and gave away a penalty for holding down when we had them in their half. Getting the odd quick ptb and completing a few other tackles (he's a rugby player, it's the minimum you expect), doesn't gloss over the fact he has been one of the weakest in the pack this season.

Cant agree with that, he can certainly break a tackle and if he can just stop doing rash things he'll be effective for us

Well he's got the physical attributes so i hope he comes good, but for me we need more from a quota player than we are getting so far. We could have got a prop from the championship to do what he has up to press and used the quota spot on a more pivotal position.

I must have been watching a different game, other than his ludicrous kick and knock on, I thought he went well in both attack and defence. Drags in all kinds of defenders and with a decent offload game, I think he could be a real asset.

Agree that he does need to calm down a little though.

Utterly teed off with that display. Wakey threw it away after leading 12-0 and then 18-10. Just cannot believe they've thrown a season's work away like that.

Making it worse was the fact I had 6/6 on a SL accumulator and just needed Trinity to win to go right through the card and collect decent winnings. I watched the second-half in dismay.

And what's Matty Wildie done wrong ? He might have supported some of the breaks that weren't converted.

I agree, thought Tautai played well. I don't expect a player to go 80 mins without one error. It's the ones who make several howlers a game and keep on losing us games that bother me

I was going to write the same thing on Lyne, but I'm afraid he has a long way to go to convince me and wipe out some of the horror shows

I think not. 2 seasons in now and there is no sign of any meaningful or lasting change. The end of last year was sadly a flash in the pan. Same patterns, same errors, same stupid selection and bench interchange choices...we were warned

Pretty much my assessment of his performace today too. Lacked consistency and lacked guts. Poor effort.

For years we have signed Australians who come here with big reputations- and these guys don't perform. Are you seriously telling me that there isn't an English prop or second row able to do the same job as some of the Trinity imports? They take the money, then collapse into the first tackle and never break the line.
What's the problem- is flair coached out of these players?
Don't make me laugh, I'm too fed up from today's game to even raise an ironic smile. It's utterly dire, Lee Smith's try was excellent and that was the highlight of my otherwise rubbish afternoon.
Pass me the absinthe and a razor.

So who were the overseas forwards who didn't perform today? Raleigh was poor, Poore was miles better.

Re Lee Smith. Won't be part of the ex Leeds at Cas.
