So what your saying is that there is a conspiracy with the rugby League hierarchy and the referees. The agenda is for Cas to not make the top 8, do I have that right?

Small team inferiority. Wakefield suffer the same affliction.

I would disagree, it's seems to be more common of Cas fans in my experience. Having said that it's only to be expected, considering how your coach blames the refs most times you lose.

To be fair, there have been some occasions this season where the decisions have been plain wrong. Tonight was not the refs' fault, 95% of the time it was us gifting them possession.

But clubs like Castleford and Wakefield do suffer a lack of 50/50 calls in their favour when playing bigger sides. Only natural - happens in football too.

Re the Chase incident.

Catalans knocked on and chase re-gathered ... no advantage was gained by Cas ... so by right the correct decision was a scrum ... ...... Chase clearly thought he was tackled so played the ball.... the correct way to deal with the confusion was to call no advantage and form a scrum

unfortunatley for us it was one of those days where the right decision got lost in the heat of the moment and Smith got it wrong and awarded a penalty... cats subsequantly went up the field to score what turned out to be the winning try (dosen't that always happen ???).

Overall I think what incensed the crowd was the way all decisions relating to Cas try's were refered to the video ref and some of the cats try's were not, even though there was clearly something to have a look at.

All in all I thought it was a poor game played by two teams who should be at the lower end of the table....... and are ..... says it all for me.

It wasnt a knock on - Stevie Wonder could see that.
Who did Chase think had tacled him -- the Invisible Man.
There was nothing confusing about the incident -- Chase cocked up.

said after the warrington game that thaler let all sorts go in their favour, and the game tonight was very similar. it appears to me that we are doing well away from home, so when we are at home we are getting penalised for it and getting humiliated. they are making it harder for us to finish in the top eight and tonight was the prime example. the last time i saw such anger towards a referee was i think, one of the connolly brothers. like a lot more i do not like to see objects thrown on to the field but the referee did not help matters, and its about time the players stopped getting the flak, it is they that are towing their bag out and getting kicked in the teeth, so imagine how they feel, its bad enough for us stood watching and getting annoyed. it hurts me to think and say it but the game is bent at times. i have never walked away from a game, but with 15 minutes left tonight i very nearly did, because i could sense that it was not us what was going to win again, like i said the players are trying like hell under the circumstances but are copping for it unfairly from crap officiating.

Interesting view! So who are the most penalised team in the league?? So your saying it's harder for Leeds week in week out as the rfl dont want them to be champions again!!
