Currently Cas getting smashed 39-0

Ah well.

hard done by at 13 - 0 down they should of at least had a player bin in the second half for a professional foul, firstly Soliola and then Hauraki being turned 180 deg in the tackle that's after a dubious second try by St's in the first half for forward pass, as a neutral it can be frustrating to see inept refereeing like tonight, no wonder their heads went down

You mean like the imaginary forward pass given against saints that could of taken it to 16?

We've been done for weeks to be honest. I didn't think we'd win again after wembley, but managed to limp home agains bulls and yourselves despite being second best in both games.

Joking aside they do genuinely look out on their feet.

no the one that took them to 12 points the crafty one pointer made it that they had to score three times to even get back into the match, its then teams like Sts and Leeds use the nonce to slow the game down, re watch it with the same view you can see why when your down by so much it can get out of reach and spoil the game

yes they was well out played and now wonder it was so hard for them having played ever week

Cas look totally shot to me.

Powell has done a fantastic job with a team, which on paper looks pretty average, yet they’ve managed to reach the C.C final & were one game off the L.L.S

.

But on the flip side, due to the play-off system as it is, the top sides are just happy to coast into the top eight & then they put the hammer down. Cas have punched above their weight due to a combination of great coaching, poor quality opposition (including us) & the top sides having scant regard for the regular season.

Even their cup exploits was basically compounded down to a fantastic win at Wigan.

The Cas fans can blame Child all they want, but really, forty one to nil!

If people want to see blatant referee bias I suggest they watch the Chooks v Cowboys

.

so there's really no mention of tommy makinson being done out of a perfectly good try for a NON forward pass which could have taken us 4 points (or 6 points) even further then?...we had child a couple of weeks ago when we got caned by him against warrington..he did nothing but penalise us that night!...we wouldn't have won anyway as wire were far to good for us on the night!..swings and roundabouts comes to mind.

Think the point Snowie is trying to make, is the the 'forward pass' try wouldn't have made much difference if it had been given.
The damage had already been done prior to that.
But Child can't have had a bad game, Stevo said he had been 'superb'!

There's no way Child was responsible for a 41 point capitulation; Cas were soft in defence and had absolutely nothing to offer in attack - they looked shot to bits after the first 10 minutes. Child did indeed make a couple of errors (aided and abetted by Mr Hicks on the line) but for me, it balanced out; Saints were, quite simply, light years better than Cas in every department.

As an aside - how good was James Roby? The lad's an absolute machine - showed that Clarke has a long way to go before he gets anywhere near him as the best 9 in SL, and possibly the world.

I thought Child had an excellent game, he did not give any stupid holding down penalties, and I prefer a ref and his touch judges to blow up for a flat pass going forward than letting slightly forward passes go. I prefer them to give any benefit of doubt to the side defending. Basic skill of the game is to pass the ball backwards.

Oki Holmes Let on to a friend that Cas were running on empty about 2 weeks ago.

This ^^

Bang on B2K.
Looks like the roller coaster ride has come to a halt for 2014. Roll on next season.

Cas have done brilliantly this season and played along with Leeds have played the most matches this season. Unfortunately they do not have the depth that Wigan, Leeds, St Helens and Warrington have and therefore can't rest and rotate players as much as them.

It's no surprise they're out on their feet and have been since the cup final, but that shouldn't detract from a superb season.

the will suffer even worse next season when the likes of..huby...clarke...and sneyd have all gone...shame really after building up a good side like theyv'e had all season!

Where is Mariano? It looked like they needed his size and strength in the second row or at least coming off the bench against that monster St.Helens pack. He could have slipped into centre for Webster when he got injured.

Apparently, he wasn't expecting to be in the play-off and is on honeymoon in Vegas with NGB4C, who was surprised to find there was another Vegas outside Cas.

I bet Powell wishes he'd bought a bigger tin of that turd polish.

Websters got it all

I don't think he has. Our tin must have been much smaller, or Webster needs to work on his polishing technique a bit more. Maybe he's not rubbing it rigorously enough??

From the looks of all those Cas fans,who seem to be mimicking the Fidler Crab with their absurdly developed right arms, they've all been polishing vigorously and have contributed to the derth of Shino in East Wakefield
