Rumour has it gale did a "hopoate" on connor then went away to sniff his finger

You watching the right sport?

There was no force, no raising on of the leg and coming down with pressure.

Absolutely no evidence of malice whatsoever. Tell me if that was Watts or Kelly you'd think it was malicious? Utter nonsense.

It's because some of their fans have gone from being decent people to total c0cks on the back of half a season

I'm not bitter, Cas play rubbish referees well, Gale and Eden are a joke when it comes to professionalism. As I say, enjoy the rest of the season, bet you'll take thousands to Wakefield...

From a whopper like you that's hilarious. Absolute king of the bilge posters.

See you in the play offs, hopefully you'll have more to offer than a good 13 minutes at the end.

Total suggest you watch Gale step on the foot then move the reapply his foot on the joint of the ankle. Gale knew full well what he was doing and like I said it's not so much what he did it's the intent of the action.

With regards to it being a Hull player I'd be disappointed to see it, same as I was when Manu chicken winged Atkins and rightly copped a ban for it.

Just shows how much you know and disrespect you give Cas as they have never been a team that was an easy 2pts.

You want to hope we don't have more than 13 good minutes

I dunno where any Hull fan gets off bitching about a midget like Gale sort of standing on somebody's foot....a bit, they're totally taking the p155.
It was the Friday night game on TV ffsake, everyone can see the filthy 5h1t3 Hull get up to in the tackle, do they think nobody is watching and that if they post a bit of Gale nothingness on the internet, it will somehow look like Hull have been hard done to, and that Cas are the dirty team or something ??

Unbelievable

Some of you may have seen the reporter for The Pontefract & Castleford Express on Twitter after the QF.
"Cas were refereed out of that. Lost because of the penalty goals, that's not how rugby league should be played."
After the match last night I tweeted to him. Any comment about penalty goals after tonight?
15 hours later and I await his reply. Not holding my breath!

Ha ha! Not bitter? You're doing an excellent impression of someone who is! It's practically seeping out of you!

Cas deserved it overy the 80 fo me but the fact we only clicked in attack the last 15,out scored them trys wise and they only scored on the back of our mistakes yet our trys were created ourselves should be more worrying for them than us. They defended well for large parts of the game and although I wouldn't blame the ref for the loss I do think they got a lot of 50/50's but you could argue they was home team decisions like we had at kc. Powell may have got the 2 but I think we still have the beating of cas and last night won't of damaged the players belief of that

If you say so, I suggest you watch the game again.

One thing which has not been mentioned on the forum about last night's game is the kicking by both sides. In this aspect Hull were clearly second best. Gale was able to direct his up and unders high and accurate. Apart from Talanoa's unfortunate lapse Hull defended this bombardment well. Invariably, however, the player defending the kick, usually Shaul, was dumped to the ground where he caught the ball, immediately putting the team under pressure and on the backfoot. Hull's up and unders, on the other hand, were not so well directed or accurate. The team was not able to get up quick enough to attack the defending player, who was mostly able to return the ball 10 metres or so before being tackled.

In recent games Connor has been putting in the up and unders with no little skill. The Hull attackers were able to get up on the defender and put him under pressure. Why did Connor not do some of the kicking last night?

The same problem when attacking the line. Gales kicks were varied, accurate and mostly along the ground. Again Hull did well to defend these, but you always felt that they were under pressure and a try would come at any moment. Hull's kicking strategy on the sixth tackle was woeful. I cannot remember one occasion when Cas appeared to be pressurised from the type of kicks to which Gale was subjecting Hull.

Radford wants Hull to be more savvy when attacking. An improved kicking game would help.

In my opinion Hull were the better team last night, but they do constantly shoot themselves in the foot. Gifting sides like Cas easy tries (they did it in the cup tie as well) is not clever, especially when Hull seem to have to work for their tries. The more Hull concede easy tries the more opponents will turn up expecting Christmas to arrive at some time in the game.

This is one of the benefits to cas with the shorter pitch. they are invariably kicking in the opposition half on the last tackle so can put in high bombs and be on the defender quickly. With a full sized pitch they just don't have that luxury and players like talanoa and fonua will have plenty of time to field the ball and get some momentum before the defence get to them



The kicking was a lot better in the 2nd half and we had a try disallowed that came from a kick. We also forced 4 GLDO's to cas' 1 (I think). I honestly never really felt that they were looking like scoring either from general play or kicks. The only one they scored from was an error due to the wet conditions and wouldn't have been scored if it were dry. You've also got to remember it was only sneyd's 2nd game back after a month out and he'll take time to find his feet again



I agree about the errors and we also seem to concede in the 2 or 3 minutes before half time. For all of their flashy play, I don;t think cas are as good as us if both sides are at full strength and play to their best.

We also have to remember that we were playing the much vaunted best team in the Northern hemisphere so I'm just glad we didn't ship the 44 points they average at home

Much bitter and twistedness on here. I can't wait for HKR to return to super league. Being your derby game is not much fun. A decent ref last night and Cas would have been out out of sight.

Ah the irony!!!!!!

Another 5 minutes and I think Hull win the game.

Realistically, I think the LLS is our best shot at silverware and with an home semi we should have a shot of the GF. Would not want to play you in semi though. Very good team when you turn it on.

Not the usual turn out for Hull at Cas, was that down to the fixture switch you think?

Your posting history is so cross. Relax, like Scotty here after the quarter final.

Cas and Hull fans used to love each other. It is a sad time right now.

Haha I still love you all, but its a good sign , a rivalry at the right end of the table , for all the right reasons

lack of respect for each other doesnt help atm


cas fans using excuses when we have beaten them twice

fc fans not giving cas enough credit for their excellent season so far

bound to happen

... it could have been a lot worse - cas might have lost.

Hull have beaten us twice by being the better team.

Cas won on Friday because they were the better team.

Simples

Not sure why Cas fans used excuses when you beat us. You were the better team in both games and your pack absolutely dominated us. Last night we were probably the slightly better team overall. Specially for 60minutes then you just left it a little late.
