And there is the dig about contracts….you just can’t help yourself can you…why is it doomed to failure….it can’t be any worse than what it is…end of the day…you don’t like Pearson,Myler,none of the signings and I bet Cartwright cops it when he gets off the plane as he didn’t walk down the steps properly

Respectfully, at that point - yes we would have.

Anwyay, poor defence and lack of ideas and composure let us down in the end. Good to see us come back from a 24-4 deficit to make a game of it, but ultimately we’re not good enough.

100% that was the moment - score there we would have been 26-24 up, with 15mins left and up on players.

Cas got back into it after that.

Thought Balmforth did well but he isn't a 70 minute hooker, Moy has work to do, particularly his link up play, seems to catch before drawing a man.

Charles is no where near ready, Grix should have taken him out of this game.

Also played Aydin too many minutes, starting to miss tackles then sin bin, hardly played Ashworth (unless injured), Sao must have been injured too.

Crazy how many injuries we get every game.

Id try and sign Eseh and release Sao.

Wingers were great, need to use them more with their speed and height.

Id rather have Laidlaw than Gardiner

I couldn't believe that set, probably the dumbest set I've seen, 11 men and we didn't try once to go wide, last tackle play pass to Ese Ese.

isnt he allowed an opinion or dont you like the possibility that hes right

My only hope is that our starting 17 next season only included Martin, Barron, Ese Ese, Ashworth, Aydin and maybe Balmforth.

Another battling defeat. Far too soft defensively in the first half took the game away from us.
Played with a 2 man bench again for 3/4s of the game which doesn't help.
The Catalans game can't come soon enough.

Thought this would happen, Cas are a poor team and any half decent team beats them.

Shame Grix is hanging around for another year.

Role on the last game let's get this season over and done with and keep our heads down as far as the East is concerned!! Then lets see what the club do to enthuse us all again????? Cas were poor but poor performance again from us, dumb rugby, wrong options with the ball and that defence at times was woeful.
"Mark and Tackle mark and tackle...... follow the ball and not the man!" : Mr Cameron Chilton Street School circa 1959! We all listened or got the belt, seems as if some of our lot never have!

Sorry to single players out but Moy is too small and Charles is never gonna make it as a top scrum half, there wasnt even a tiny glimpse of anything from him that makes it look like he could be. The loan players were both gash, Briscoe looks finished. What happened to Sao and Houghton?

I’d agree with most of that

Think Ashworth went off shortly after an attempted tackle he made and caught one from Horne.

Houghton calf, Ashworth back, Sao HIA and Lane calf.
Wonder how many we'll get back for next week, none knowing our luck.
What a miserable, miserable year.

Dire yet again.

The decision to go for a barge over rather than spread it wide with a two man advantage pretty much summed up our season. Totally clueless in attack.

I have to agree with the comments about Charles and Moy. I hope they go on to have good careers but they are nowhere near ready to be regulars. It's unfair on them to be playing every week. Moy's neat break at the start but then losing the ball in the tackle set the scene unfortunately.

I've no interest in hearing Grix's comments as it'll be the same bull we hear every week delivered in his slightly smirky matter-of-fact way.

Well done to Tex Hoy. He's gone really well at Cas and is clearly enjoying his rugby after Tony Smith shattered his confidence.

I can kind of forgive the attack as after 10 mins our spine was made up of a hooker at 7 and three teenagers. What I can't forgive is the lazy, disinterested, half d defending.

I'd love to know what they do all week in training because practicing rugby league clearly isn't one of them. Felt sorry for Herman he was yet again the best forward on the pitch but has to deal with crap around him.

Sorting out the Strength and Conditioning is absolutely vital for next year. Little wonder we look so unfit and suffer so many injuries with the current set up. Our Head of Strength and Conditioning used to be the Sports Scientist. Now I may be wrong but surely they are completely different things.

Noticed before kickoff how half hearted our warm up was, and no surprise we then started the game on the back foot.

Loosing so many players during the game of course didn't help and aI thought the ref was terrible and spoilt the game for both sides.

Add in our weakness in the halves (not knocking Charles because he is learning but he was caught out today) and no surprise it was another defeat.

That and 2 new assistant coaches, Grix should be no where near this team next year

Really soft underbelly in defence, we were cut open way to easy. Still poor decision making and errors are proving too costly in energy and scoreboard.

Probably our most important signing next season for me. We need most of the new signings to be playing to be competitive in all the games.

https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/sport/r ... ct-9522128 Zero accountability for what's going on from Grix. His fingerprints are all over this disaster of a season.

To be fair to Texy, he was pretty magnanimous when leaving us and had some fairly kind words about the club when told he was 'surplus to requirements.'
Shame we couldn't get him playing as well as he is now but reckon that's more to do with the bab he had round him during his stay.

Myler need to be looking at a new assistant for Cartwright cos my word this accountability avoiding clown is exhausting.

It’s nothing to do with motivation, it’s down to fatigue, these players are so unfit it is embarrassing, that ultimately comes down to the coaching which Grix has overseen from the moment he joined us.

Yet again our warm up was flat and just going through the motions, if that’s how they warm up before a game, what is it like in training?

Well, looking for at least one positive straw to cling onto; we didn't cave in completely when we were 6-24 down in the manner we were witnessing in the early part of the year. I was fearful around the thirty minute mark it was going to be another fifty point thumping, so at the very least that didn't materialise.

We managed to fight our way back into contention which energised the crowd to make some noise, and Herman's tackle bust and off-load for Carlos' try was worth the admission fee on its own.

But overall, simply not good enough. Some of the defence, particularly in the middle twenty minutes of the first half was woeful, even by the low standards of this dreadful year. In attack, again reflecting the year as a whole, some of our decision making, especially fifth tackle plays, defy description. We seem incapable of executing even the most basic of plays. Noticed another poster questioned what do they do in training throughout the week, my thoughts too. They look like they have never seen a rugby ball at times.

Another defeat, to a club who themselves had only won six games this year before today, but who I suspect were rubbing their hands in anticipation at meeting us.

The over-riding impression is that everyone at the club just wishes that someone would end the season for them right now and they don't have to bother anymore. But it's nothing compared to the wish we all have to erase 2024 from our collective memory. I never thought I would ever have to endure a season as bad as the one we suffered in 1999, but this team has managed it!!

What a pile of crap. What do they do all week? Attack awful, defence worse. Grix should feck off. He's as bad as tony smith.

Telling that the 2 biggest cheers of the day were for the bowling ball at half time and the try from the pitch invader.

I won't be going to the salford game
