Agree about Ashton, was really good came up with big moments tonight in attack. The lads forcing 2 dropouts in the last 10 was fantastic game management.

I don't understand longstaff not coming on at all. Why? It's not like he hasn't proved himself worthy of gametime this season.

Job done.
Sky's tumescence gone, and we've finished with nearly double Cas' points
Silly 15 minutes, but a great closing out. Well done, Wire.

Gutted for Shenton. One of my fave non Wire players.

My thoughts are, yellow cards are down to lucky/unlucky, red cards are down to lucky/unlucky, toss the coin.

Agreed, Shenton has been a fantastic servant to rugby league. Fantastic player, fantastic career.

Real shame he went out with an injury tonight. Good talker too, maybe he could replace Phil Clarke and make sky presentation more palatable.

Few thoughts come if this.

1: We had the game wrapped at 32-0, should have shut up shop and took the players we need most off (Cooper, Widdop, Ratchford) and out 13 out there to wind down the clock and keep them at 0.

2: Marty Ashton has to be in the 17 next week now, but where.

3: Why do we insist on playing with 16 men.

4. Why did we not bring Ellis Longstaff on? He may as well have been tucked up in bed with a cup of tea.

To be fair, it probably comes down to what you want from your centre. Both offer positives in different ways. Mamo obviously has a x factor about him and can provide an unexpected spark, while Matuatia, for me, just looks a more solid all round centre, better hands, stronger near the line.

Won't argue too much with anyone who sees it differently though.

26 0 up at HT in what essentially a nothing game for us, i dont begrudge the lads for taking the foot off the gas and was actually good to see us go again when they got close.

Just seen my first bit of "analysis" in years.

WHAT A LOAD OF B0LL0CKS.

I must give my tele a knock. There's obviously something wrong with it. Why is Phil Clarke picking up a wage?,and as for Carney....almost preempting the RFL's decision re Cooper....I thought they were supposed to be neutral.

Re: Tonight’s game v Castleford : Thu Sep 16, 2021 9:05 pm  

The Charnley tackle was accidental but the subsequent attack by Turner to his throat was deliberate. So, at the very least Turner should also have neen carded.
The red card for Cooper was simply down to the referee folding und4r home supporter pressure.
