Hull KR did get all the 50/50s but our ball control was poor and Ford had a bit of a mare with unforced errors. Dixon got taken out in the air for the 2nd week running when only 4 behind then Hull KR went up the other end and scored.

Big turnout from Cas. We weren't allowed in the golf stand because it was 'sold out' but after some protests to the stewards in the south stand after seeing there were plenty of empty seats they let us round and we didn't have to pay the extra tenner. No idea how the ground passed the franchise criteria though.

Radford is an idiot, did he mention the head shots on rovers ?

Two teams mate, an' all that. There were head shots against Cas that went unpunished. Take for example, Huby went in with a raised arm that bounced up off the chest (and it did, this isn't just biased crap), pen awarded to KR. Less than two minutes later in practically the same position Huby receives one which was high (ie- didn't bounce up off the chest) but no penalty awarded. You could clearly see Huby shouting at the ref and asking why that one wasn't a head high. He then went on to put in 2 big hits in the next 3 tackles he was that mad.


I'm surprised some of the Hull KR fans are having a whinge at the ref considering the penalty count was way in their favour (probably higher than the scoreline) and the turning point was when we put in a kick to the corner and have a man blatantly taken out, nothing awarded and KR get piggy backed up the field and score the final try to seal the game.

Anyway, whinging fans and crap refs aside, it was a decent game and could have gone either way. Thought we missed Goldy again in attack. Our defence was pretty good but we just couldn't grind out enough points.

As I stated in another thread, the ground is perfectly adequate for the home fans along the sides. It's for the away fans who have to go in the ends that are a joke - one is rickety uncovered golf stand and the other a terrace about 50m behind the posts with no elevation and no view. We all know the the Jungle and it's limitations but I would take it along with BV and even Salford over Craven Park.

the way the stewards treated us was disgraceful too! firstly told the golf stand was sold out, sent to the other stand to see that it clearly wasnt sold out....after much argument we were finally allowed to go sit with the rest of the cas fans. every year i say 'im not off there next season' but after tonight i really wont.

I'll definatley give you the benefit of the doubt mate, since i don't know you and wouldn't dream of tarring you with someone elses brush, so don't think this is aimed at you. But with a certain chunk of Cas fans, that statement is way off the mark. We have some right idiots and yet again for the whole of the match a certain few only ever wanted to argue with the stewards. Last year it was bad, and i can't remember which guys it was then that got threw out, but it was the same set of people that were yet again arguing all match with the stewards and guess what happened. One of that same bunch got thrown out again.

"Get a proper job"

Feck me, how tiresome is that chant now! Get a fecking life you idiots! I paid £20 to watch this match, plus a few quid for my petrol money and parking etc and for the whole game i've got a bunch of idiots arguing with the stewards, blocking the view of the match and generally being nobs. These idiots keep complaining about the stewards, calling them jobsworths, complaining they've been dealt with heavy handed when half a dozen or more come along to break up the crap but here's an idea folks. Sit the feck down, watch the fecking game and the fecking stewards won't say a fecking word to you. I've been to CP the last three times we've been there and guess what, i've not had any trouble from them, same as when i go to Wigan, Leeds, Saints or Keighley. Because i watch the frigging game and don't do as much as possible to cause trouble.

Can't wait for Huddersfield. There'll be the same prats, stood up, calling the stewards every name under the sun, trying their hardest to get thrown out so they can then sing "get a proper job".

totally agree, we seem to get stuck in front of em every week!! it doesnt help at all, but i arnt one of them. i too go for my team to show support and watch good rugby league. i jus dont think its on for the stewards to tell me i cant sit with the rest of my teams fans because the stand is sold out, when it blatantley isn't.

To be fair, Cas have a shiney new computer graphic image of the 'new stadium'.






























































That they're going to share with Wakey.
