Maybe but IMO when Cas field something close to their best line up they are nobody's pushovers on their own ground as Leeds & Wigan found out earlier this season.

This isn't meant as any defence of Rovers indeed it would have been interesting if Rovers had been smart enough or good enough to create a level playing field possession wise but we were not.

In no way do I wish to excuse the failings of Rovers as I have said we were not smart enough or good enough but the goal line defence was a highlight and kept the score down plus we got a couple of tries against the run of play.

The idea that whenever one team wins comfortably against another team it is entirely down to the failings of the losers and nothing to do with the qualities of the winners is I suggest, unlikely.

If the Cas squad stay relatively healthy I predict there will be other losing visitors no doubt equally unmagnanimous as yourself.

Are you suggesting that a rovers side with 8 or 9 missing players are on a par with leeds and wigan?

Agree with most of that,just the McNamara bit,nothing but a silly rumour 100%.

No far from it. For the avoidance of doubt I suggest nothing more than Castleford were very worthy winners today and I predict more home wins for them as the season progresses.

The only purpose of my post was to give due credit to Castleford.

I've been a supporter of Sandy's this season, It's not an easy job he's been constantly compared to JM who had a bigger budget and has fans who have unrealistic expectations(including me) but yesterday was an absolute pathetic performance, once again we never got near Rangi Chase for 80 mins and the amount of penalties we give away is ridiculous and it's constantly the same every single week. On the way home i put the radio on to listen to our coach who couldn't want to speak to the media any less. He gives 1 word answers to any question he dislikes. It's a joke does he not realise that speaking to the media and keeping the fans partially informed is part of his job?? And as for dropping Eden and citing the fact he constantly makes basic errors and nobody is immune from the drop. Yet we have had 5 minute Mika giving penalties away and making simple handling errors all season? He claims we are down to our last squad member yet drops our 2nd best attacking weapon? Luke George looks lost at centre and clearly isn't a centre imo Hall should of been at centre with George or Caro on the wing. If we lose next 2 games our season is over tho i agree we have a load of player's out but so do others and it can't be used as an excuse.

Dont worry, its FC soon, so the team will play like world beaters, something to look forward too?

Yes magic weekend will cheer us up, it usually does

TBH, the way our luck is going I would be suprised to actually win again this season.

Next week at home to Wigan?

The dropping of Eden then moaning about not having any fit players left really annoyed me. And he chose to play George at centre who didnt look convincing to say the least which isnt surprising seeing as though hes a winger. With the squad so stretched he only really had a couple of big decision to make on the team and he got them wrong.

He doesnt seem like someone to give the players a boll**king or motivate them whatsoever. Fair enough its not always helpful to criticize to the media but his whingy comments that get regurgitated every week lead me to feel like he just doesnt have it in him. Cant see him getting a new contract and if he does i dont think it will be received very well

What do you mean by luck ?

We don't need luck to beat Hull FC.
