For 60 mins thought we played as well as we did against Leeds. Undoubtedly missed Rangi as any team would but we were beaten in the forwards and that's where Millward needs to concentrate his efforts for improvement.

Still way better than last yrs shambles n a couple of flattering late tries shouldn't have us losing sight of that.

Great to see Cas give it all in their cup final one week and get flogged by an average Bulls team the next! Still a disgrace.

It is a disgrace. How can Leeds lose to such a poor outfit? I'd be demanding my money back from the Rhinos if I was you

To me the toughness was lacking from the start, if not the effort. Cas players should have steamed in when Scruton flattened O'Brien, whether ultimately it is proved late or not. It would have focussed attention on the tackle much more & given a message to the Bulls players about the consequences.

What? And had Ganson send one of our players off? No ta

If I was a Cas fan, I'd be questioning the players fitness.

At about the 55 minute mark most of the Cas team looked out on their feet. There was a point where Cas were in possession at that time and half the side were still walking back from behind the Bulls defence for 2 tackles.

Fitness is miles better this season. I see no reason to question that.

The reason we were walking back is we've come off an intense game against Leeds and made some costly errors in our own half that led to us defending our own line a lot. Without the ball, you get knackered.

Dominated for 80 mins.

Scruton should have been sent off in the 3rd minute too, stuff happens.

Why's that then?

But as we have found contact with the head (even if it is not the initial impact or intentional) is a disciplinary offence.

Whether Rangi was badly done to or not is another matter Scruton should have been penalised with a penalty and that's it.

Stop crying princess.

Remember Rangi had previous though for a very similar offence

Are you seriously comparing the tackle on Tangi Ropati with that last night?

Good response and you are probably right

Bet you wasn't expecting that

Wrong. Without the Man of Steel 2011 / our best player, with our dreadful record at Odsal, plus Bradford are a decent team, I had minimal optimism for yesterday. Didn't stop me going & supporting my team but deep down I expected a defeat.

No, I was commenting that Rangi's ban for his tackle on Hardaker will have been longer because of his tackle on Roparti last season.
