we lost because we were shocking. simple. Hull KR were rubbish but we had to go one better and be worse. not blaming the ref as it was the same both ways. Our attack is just poor, we struggle with only having Rangi. Jamie Ellis is pants and I knew he wasnt going to be good enough from start of season.

Result could have gone either way. Neither teams kicking game was up to scratch. One thing that doesn't help Cas is Rangi Chase's attitude. He will get red carded sooner or later. He got away with it at the KC on Lineham and again last night. If you see Burns try Rangi elbowed Travis in the face after he had grounded the ball and then again later in the game had to be told by Child to cut out the head shots after again trying to get a response from Burns with another head shot.

It would help if your forwards bent their backs in defence - for the first 20 minutes, I don't think either Mason or Huby put a tackle in that wasn't round the shoulders/head; I thought you were lucky not to end up with a team warning and someone in the bin.

I'd also agree with Brian Carney's comments - if your only play-maker would put his energies into playing the game rather than sulking and hunting cheap shots, you'd turn some of these close defeats into wins; he's one of the few players in SL who can turn a game on his own, but his attitude is dreadful.

Not a game for the purist, but an enjoyable scrap in terrible conditions; credit to those of you who braved the conditions and made the trip over - hope you had your thermals on.

I know it's early but is there any news on the Webster injury?

He was outstanding until he had to leave the pitch.

Re: Hull KR vs Tigers : Mon Mar 25, 2013 9:47 am  

Even as a Cas fan I thought the ref got about as much wrong for Hull KR as he did for us, -either way he was not up to the task.

I see lots of comments on here about the kicking game (Millward said the same on the BBC). While it was undoubtably rubbish, I would also say that it was just one of the basics that were poor...the handling errors were numerous and yet again the tackling was very poor.

After a drubbing at Hull and throwing away a lead last week, it does not seem that much is being done on the training pitch to address these fundamentally weak areas.

I thought that we were going to do it after getting back from 10 points down but sadly it didn't happen. Hopefully we'll beat Wakefield on Friday night.

Shame for Webster, on his day he's one of the best in the league. Trouble is, as if you don't already know, he misses more games than he makes. Nice bloke by all accounts though.

Re: Hull KR vs Tigers : Tue Mar 26, 2013 8:12 am  

Blaming the ref for a defeat is pathetic & embarrassing. There are numerous calls that can go either way in every game, one set of fans is going to be peeved by each one. Officials get 99% correct. Cas lost, as nearly every team does, because they weren't good enough. Too many penalties (probably the majority of tries these days follow in the next 6 after a penalty), too many basic errors, crap kicking game, wrong attitude from some players. I enjoyed the game, despite this, coming on here does sour things some what though.
