Was only his 3rd game with his new team who didn't exactly help him. Rangi to a degree will turn up every game. Fact that every season he's been the top or very near try assists, off loads, tackle busts and breaks means if his forwards do anything of note and gets some help via other half and full back it'll turn sour for us awful quick if we don't maintain our standards of Friday

Thought Chase overdid the "flat pass", trying to suck us in, pretty sure he'll go for the quick spread pass on Thursday, hoping we'll still be defending the flat "Flat Pass" if that makes sense.

I'm not just basing my verdict on his three games for Salford. I'm basing it on his time at Cas and games for England. When he's good he's very good there's no denying that. But then you get games like Friday night were he didn't do a lot and had very little impact. Yet some of those stats you mention will have gone up despite this.

As someone else has pointed out, Castleford are looking a lot better without him.

Leave HB togehter we need continuaty there and I'd leave Whiting out been poor for me and Thompson playing better.

If it's a straight choice between Thompson or Whiting missing out then I agree. Thompson has really impressed me since joining.

Cas are better as the coach has had an off season, every player knows they had to take up some of the slack, Huby back and fit, signed lynch players like Shenton back to their best. Pretty sure if rangi was there Powell would be getting even more from his team.
Chase stats are constantly well beyond anyone else's. And when his team help him and give him options he's nearly un playable. We need to be good as Friday to stop that from happening. If I was involved with Salford a pre season goal would of been the cup and a good run.

Not sure Whiting has been poor, he has hardly had any gametime and should be before Hadley IMO, as he still offers more in attack and can cover a few positions.

I'd have the same team as above, but with Thomspon starting in the backrow and Whiting on the bench (But used more).

Well we'll just have to agree to disagree on this. I think he's too inconsistent. Unplayable one week, might as well be absent the next.

He's never absent. Just means one week he's average instead of ridiculously outrageous! Only 1 time in 5 years has he not been top try assist maker and only missed by a few even though only played 16 games, last year was top off loader,never have i known a half back as top off loader. Also top tackle buster. If his and his teams timing was fractionally better they'd have been a few more breaks from them.if he clicks they'll be worth at least 10 more points

So much for agreeing to disagree...

Nobody expecting Miller to cop a ban for the high shot on Johnson when they scored their first try?

I am now!

I thought that when it happened as it was right in front of me. Hicks did go and have a word with miller about it let's hope he's ok and available to play on Thursday

If Miller cops a ban and Morley escapes unpunished I really will believe there's a conspiracy going on at the RFL.
