Fuming that we can't keep a lead. Absolutely gutted. Been told Bentham had. Shocker on a few decisions. P1ssed off that the players let it slip away again.

That's exactly what I said afterwards. Bentham made some poor calls for both sides.

Yep, these ones stand out (just confirmed on the radio)
Saints had 2 sets of 7 and Cas had 2 sets missing a tackle.

The winning try also came on the 7th tackle I think.

If that is true, that's abysmal and Cas should lodge a complaint.

Won't make a difference to the result, though. Still a game we've lost and still this awful feeling.

2 Sets of seven? I dont like to dwell on poor ref decisions but if true that is a tough one to take!
Life is too short anyway and like Matterson said its good that we have a short turn around to get back on the horse on friday.
Ok we are in a bit of a valley right now but even though Leeds have shown that they are no pushovers against Bradford I still feel we have it in us to give them a game.
UP THE TIGERS!!

Wow. Cracking performance from the referee. Lots of crap calls. Don't blame our players as we actually did very well and deserved the win for me. Not much you can do when the ref won't give any call your way. There's no bad feelings towards Saints, they're a good side and you know they can always nick it at the death. Gutted that they did it though.

How many times did Saints drop the ball and he'd give the decision their way? They even scored a try from a blatant knock on in my opinion (and many others). worst bit about this was the linesman actually laughing at the Cas fans for the decision. Did anyone even see the referee signal last tackle when he pulled Cas up for the hand over? Not a single player on the field did because no one played to it, on either side. We could go on I know we could. Saints are a good side but they honestly wouldn't have won without the calls today.

Well done Saints anyway, see you in the grand final for our revenge!

Castleford coach Terry Matterson:
"We were the best side - outstanding - and have had it taken away from us.

"We were the better side out there today but did not get one call all game. Every week you get refereed a different way, it is very frustrating.

"We did not run out of gas, it was just that he kept putting petrol in their tank - that was the difference.

Seems Terry isn't too happy.

I have to applaud TM for showing restraint over the last few weeks. It would have been so easy to let fly.

We've really had the short straw with the refereeing of late and it has been a contributory factor in our recent run of form without a doubt.

The referee's think thay are the stars of the show.
The RFL need to get a grip and sort it out or fans will walk away.
You cant have referee's determine the result of games, unfortunatly this is happening.
