Arundel costly error tonight. Luckiest player to get another deal.
His easy catch cost us the game tonight that got Tigers the role on. Can't afford it that's the difference between top 4 and teams rolling away each week. He would not get in any other super league side. Lucky man. If Annakin can't get a deal how can he. With out wingers a class centre they would score ,4 a game

Very Costly slip up from the ex Cas man.

He did in part make up for it with the ball steal that led to big Dave' s try.

Cocking up the short kick off ultimately cost us the win

Handling errors happen. Should have been ready for the short kick off, thought Huby got in the way there. Disappointment tonight is crushing, sulking at home now but said this game at the start of the season should be a marker for how far we've come and we gave them a game. Proud of the boys.

The mistake was a pivotal moment as it resulted in a shift in momentum ... the silly error was the England penalty...

However neither .. in isolation .... resulted in the loss.


Feel for the team but it is good to see us hugely competitive in these big games!

Numerous incidents contributed to our loss, you can't just pin point Joe!

Didn't all their tries come directly from our mistakes?

Pretty much yes but don't spoil the OP's vendetta will you?

Yes it was a bad error and a bit of a turning point but there were still 35 minutes left in that game so I dont think you could say it cost us the game.

I actually thought Arundel had a good game bar that error, he kept shenton very quite which a lot of people have struggled with this year.

Nothing on Grix dropping the bomb which led to Millington's try or Fafita's penalty which led to Gale's drop goal?

Exactly
Not taking the 2 at 8-0 when we had literally just taken the 2 a minute earlier in the same position. I had a horrid feeling we'd lose by 2. One is even more galling!
Yes Joe's knock on
High tackle at 24-18
Total lack of organisation at kick off after we scored
At least 2 or 3 more I forget
But come on, Cas are, I hate to say it, a fabulous team. Keeeping with them was an awesome effort and shows how good we now are too. But fatigue sets in when you are on 100% for 80. And then cometh the errors

Thanks for another uneducated post

We need to learn how to react to a blow in a game though. We had been totally calm and in control of the game for 40 mins. One little error and a try and, as we have done before, we collapsed for 15 minutes. It's hard I know but we have to look at why we do this.

I personally think it's ridiculous to pin the loss on Joe.

Cas went out n at half time, thoroughly embarrassed. There was always going to be a response. We undoubtedly had a plan to counter that response but it simply didn't work. Cas did what Cas do, a quick flurry of scores and it knocked the stuffing out of us.

The defending we made Cas do in the first half would have tired out any normal team. After that we just st need to be smart, end the sets properly with a pressure play or a touch finder.

When you go into a lead like that, you've every right to think you can keep doing it. We just need to be smarter that's all.

It's a great post as it was a easy pass with nobody 10 yard near him that forced all the pressure back on to us they scored from that and then got a roll on.
He's a below average centre we can do far better

On a slightly lighter note, how good was Annakins chase after that intercept.
With that kind of pace and his strength, can we utilise him better out wide instead of using him up the middle, like Michael Jackson was used back in the late 80's.

From a cas point of view I thought arundel was decent last night he defended our left edge as well as any centre I've seen this season and also stole the ball 1 on 1 that set up fifitas try.so to blame him for one dropped ball 90m from his own line is harsh even tho it was a momentum changer

Agree about Annakin. With his pace and mobility needs to be running out wide .

Not much left to say really, you've just about covered it all on here and the virtual terrace

He's not a below average centre at all. He made a mistake but so does everyone (look at your beloved Frankie Mariano - he made millions but you still wanted to have his children).
Just like Kyle Wood wasn't to blame for the defeat at Hull, Joe wasn't the only reason we lost and for you to try and pin it on him just shows how clueless you really are.

Arundel is a player who as been ok when we was in the bottom 4 of S L but we are a team pushing for the top 4.I think it was the cas coach who got rid of him because he knew he was not good enough to make the step up to the higher level .Will always be someone who tries hard but like a few more players will get moved on if we keep improving

To blame Joe for last night is laughable

he's been solid when called upon, like what has been mentioned earlier many other factors contributed to our loss. How you target players on here is embarrassing, I'm surprised it wasn't Jordan's fault for warming up

For me Arundul is not a starter in a top SL team but what he is, is good back up and that is exactly what he is for us. Lynne and Toupou are first choice but I dont think there are many teams in the league who's 3rd choice centre is better than arundul.

Completely agree with this

Went to bed devastated last night, but am immensely proud of what that team is achieving, and how they played last night, [iparticularly [/ithe first 40.

Up the Trin!
