This isn't a dig at Cas they are very effective and great at how they play however any team with any aspirations shouldn't be having 50 points stuck on them. Either we don't or we are deluding ourselves.

We now have a big problem. Every time we get hit hard and early by the ref we spit the dummy and think the world and rfl are against us. They are not and the sooner we suck it up and tell ourselves we are our own worst enemies the better.

I await the arrival of Zod or Easty to tell us all how our coach is turning the club round and deserves a 5 year extension.

I was embarrassed today, we looked like a bad pub team. Welham is the worst centre in Super League but he wont get dropped.

nothing went right for HKR including a few knocks and at least two pretty nasty injuries - hopefully they'll be nothing as serious as they looked.

I was staggered by how undercooked your guys looked today - after putting good performances in their last 3/4 games I thought they'd have shown a lot more today.

They're probably the least well drilled team I've seen down at Castleford. Sandercock can use the referee as an excuse for the players attitude changing (you did seem to get very little today) but he can't use it for the rusty looking nature of the performance.

All the best for the rest of the year and good luck with the play off push - for the first time in 15 years I'm saying that knowing we will probably be there ourselves (and I'm only 24!)

Nice to hear from you DAVE@CAS1990, I remember you good posts from earlier in the season.

You're right, we got very little from The Bearded Berk today, but even if we had, we'd still have gone down by twenty plus.

I imagine we're a lot nearer the cap than you guys are and the only difference I can see is the coach.

Your team has clearly bought into Powell and more power to you for doing that, I always felt he was harshly treated at Leeds.

Good RL people darn't lane, glad you're all enjoying your season.

Not a surprise that Sandercock blamed the ref though he clearly wasn't at fault for the debacle on the pitch and as much you'll probably disagree, there were some justified decisions there.

Equally, if we are on a ref witch-hunt then Cas every have right to be aggrieved too given we had a knock-on given that wasn't, an obstruction given that wasn't and your deliberate holding down that got ignored all game (plus a few offsides).

With that off my chest, and returning to your side, they just didn't look good at all. Defensively awful and Ulugia/Welham's side was terrible. Hauraki, Channing, Webster and Dixon went to town down that side.

Then you lost a couple to injury and with an already beaten pack knackered, playing another 40 with limited subs it looked like it was always going to continue one-sided. Biggest issue was the ability of people like Clark, Wheeldon, Dorn just to punch holes through the middle. I just find it hard to believe that a side can go from dropping the ball over their opposition line to conceding 20 seconds later.

Keating was anonymous and Burns needs to learn to shut his trap. Looked at the two sides before the game and thought it might be tight in the middle of the park with you edging it. I've walked out wondering if I've just seen one of the worst sides to come down Wheldon Rd this season - disappointing for you guys but at least you have two weeks respite now to put things right.

Best of luck with the rest of the season and thank you to the good KR fans (not the idiots who let you down) who came across in your 1700 rough contingency.

Twice beaten by a castleford side who in both games have been far superior to us,and fully deserved their win.The ref roby was his normal self, useless,and the cas fans around us loved him,wonder why ?
Welham must be the worst centre in s/l by a mile,never been able to tackle but has now added another string to his bow by being unable to keep hold of the ball as well,hopeless.

They said on the radio that a bottle was thrown at Luke Dorn after he had scored a try, whoever the brainless clown was that threw it needs weeding out and banning, the fans in that section must know who the pratt is.


The radio commentary team even said that the Rovers fans in the section where the bottle was thrown should have grabbed the moron and handed him to the security staff.

He has been all season, although I read somewhere this week that he's better than Dobson. I suspect the author was referring to Anita and not Michael.

A top turnout from kr and fair credit most stayed till the end and fairly vocal considering it was a real tonking. Just a bad day at the office for you.

TBH Stan Keating isn't normally anonymous but he is deffo second to Burns.

He is probably somewhere in the middle of where you think he is and those that think he is the new Dobson.

Today was a very bad day at the office! The ref was a joke especially in the first half, but I doubt we would have won anyway, Cas were good today we were shocking. A lot of their try's were length of the field efforts, Our left edge got a hiding today Welham needs dropping he was targeted today massively, and other teams will do the same until he sorts himself out. Was there any good points from todays game? I don't think there were!
