GAME ON : Warrington Wolves v Castleford Tigers - 16:45:00

GENERAL CHAT ABOUT THE GAME, BUILD UP, THE ACTION AS IT HAPPENS AND AFTERMATH BELOW.

Castleford have a very strong side out Ben Roberts/Jake Webster and Paul Mcshane back could be the match of the weekend.

wow was not expecting that, Cas couldn't do anything right for 35mins.
Warringtons defence was all over the place the last 5mins.
Cas have used a ton of subs the first half

Seen some awful reffing in RL but that first half today was something else! Taking Cas back 15m and Warrington 7 every PTB, pinging Cas for offside when they couldn't get back the 15 in what, 3 seconds? Throw in the 4-5 times Warrington have hit Gale off the ball he's let go, Crooks getting tackled in the air for only a drop out to be given then giving Cas a penalty for a ball steal when Junior Moors offloaded the ball to a Warrington player....just terrible.

Positive things though...that first Cas try was pure brilliance and it looks like it might actually be a close game!

You are Denis Betts and I claim my £5

Even Sky noticed he's taking Cas back 15! Take your Wakey blinkers off.

Good to see spear tackles are fine now too

Whose saying spear tackles are fine?

If you can stop your eye twitching for a few minutes, have a look at it objectively... it's the same!

Hewer! Gadwin gets speared and he gives a knock on! He's an absolute shambles of a ref.

He's not giving a kick under the sticks for the forearm smash by Gidley either? Good to see he doesn't know the rules...he's warned him of the action but not given the penalty!

What's happened to Wire

How long does Gale take with conversions? Feck me

Tickle must have been giving him pointers

Feeling happier now Gronk?

Hewer is still an atrocious referee, just not good enough for this level.

With the result yeah but it's still beyond atrocious refereeing.

Add in crusher tackles to tackling in the air and spear tackles and a forearm smash to the list of "illegal tackling techniques allowed on Cas players according to Hewer"

As a rugby league fan some of the rugby played by Cas is just exquisite. Might be their year for some silverware. (Makes me feel ill as a Wakey fan to say that).

Gidley had a mare in the 2nd half, Wire couldn't stop gifting penalties to give Cas free meters and Cas played excellent. Simples.

Has much as I expected Cas to win Today it looked game over after Matt Russell lengh of the field try, to be able to turn that game around by 34pts.......Fabulous......Brilliant!

Castleford are such fun to watch right now. Reminds me of a St Helens and Leeds teams of yesteryear.

As the late, great Paul Daniels would say - "Well that's Magic"!

Stunning performance from Tigers.

Cas would be well worthy winners of the Grand Final and/or Challenge Cup, enjoy watching them.
I don't know how for the life of me we put 58 on them at their place only a few weeks ago!!

Have to agree, I only caught the last 30 mins but heard Hewer shout to Tickle he was offside at a PTB, Tickle waits until he is back onside (actually about 12m from the PTB) then Hewer pings him for offisde when he helps finish the tackle


Then that 'tackle' in the air with Monaghan landing on Lineham's knee being ignored and lucky not to be a serious back injury, crusher tackle (by Hill I think) being ignored.
Warrington were shocking though in that second half whilst Cas were equally excellent.

The clock is stopped after 60 seconds so, it doesn't really matter does it?

Cas were superb. Very good to watch.

I only caught the last half hour but Cas look the real deal from what i did see. As others have said, they play some lovely RL at times and are easy on the eye.I hope they can make the play offs and go deep in the CC they have every chance in both on current form.
