Isn't it though?

Great performance from 1-17 first time this season they really looked up for it. Feared the worst for this one with the size of Cas down the middle as we've looked poor in the forwards apart from Tag. Thought Connor was exceptional and really directed us well in 2nd half after Snead left the field. Faraimo starting to find his feet in SL and along with Griffin look like they will be a real threat. Defence and discipline was poles apart from most of this season so far. Mini more effective when running straight too. Only gripe was couple of times we dropped off tackles and missed the man and Shaul not contesting the kick fit their first try. That said the good far outweighed those few little bits.
Just need to make sure they continue to back up that performance each week.

And yet you are one of the culprits when it comes to abuse over a matter of years, I merely outlined that the thread for bottom 4 needs locking as it was ridiculous and Barista and others keep writing us off and still sed/scoffed at the suggestion we might be top 4, I'm glad we won so I could shove it down her throat.
Maybe she and others won't be so quick to write the team off when we've not remotely looked like we were out of contention and that was with a load of injuries if we forget.

Looked a few more than that didn't look like we had 6400 empty seats in lower bowl but the the atmos was great today.

powell having a right whine and blaming anyone but himself for a change. He acts like a right c0ck when they lose. He should just accept he's radders' bitch

Good performance today, see how we go without sneyd. Looked more than 13500 to me, especially when City announce 16k and there is nowhere near as many there as there was today

Discipline wise I didn't think we did an awful lot different to most weeks tbh. The biggest difference was the refs approach to the game. He kept the whistle out of his mouth when a lot would have blown for fairly pedantic penalties.
Hewer had a similar approach to the cup final and it definitely makes for a better game.

Apparently he is very proud of the performance. It was more of a Cas performance than some of their recent ones. I assume he hasn't seen the missed tackle or error counts. Both of which were astronomical.

Best we have played this season, controlled the game apart from a 20 minute spell, where Cas chances here arm, but our scrambling defence saved us a few times. Defence and discipline much better, Conor was great, Taylor and Griffin also, to be honest thought they all where.

Disappointed in Powell and his comments, all the Cas fans reaction when Sneyd went off injured, absolutely no class, compare that to Watts, who got a few boos,but plenty were clapping him off.

Great day, well done to the club, hopefully the start of more Saturday games.

Castleford boss Daryl Powell:

"The first half was interesting. (We're) going back to needing a video ref at every game. It's an absolute shambles, players running outside the shoulder line, nothing gets picked up.

"So we have to go back to blokes diving on the floor to show referees who don't know what they are looking for what to look for. I can't believe some of the lines that were run today that weren't picked up."

Anybody got any idea what he is whinging about as I am a bit confused?

Only one I can think of is maybe Shauls try where there may have been an instruction as the Cas players did go upto the ref

Ah fair enough, I missed most of that one as some bloke on his way to the concourse decided to stop and watch play right in front of me.

The way he talks though you'd think there was obstruction on every play.

What injury has Sneyd picked up? Couldn’t make it due to work and haven’t seen it mentioned anywhere.
Any other injuries picked up too?

I'd guess she wants a three course meal and not your little snack offering Tony.



You must have a short memory.

Medial collateral ligament according to BBC match report.
Don't know how serious though.

MCL, some have suggested 4 weeks?
Didn't notice any others, and on Kelly Paul Clarke said in the HDM "Meanwhile, the half-back is currently out injured due to a hamstring problem but the issue isn't thought to be long-term."

heard kelly could be back for fev, but personally I wouldnt risk him in that game and save for magic

Did he whinge about their first try when it looked like they had 3 or 4 players offside at the kick?

sneyd tweeted that he hope to be back sooner rather than later so hopefully not too bad.

We can't take fev for granted but I wouldn't be risking kelly unless he's near 100% Last thing we need now is to lose him for weeks as well as sneyd.

I'm also less convinced about a kelly and connor HB partnership than I would be sneyd with either of them. We really had little organisation last week or the 2nd half yesterday

Radford said post match we're definitely not taking Fev lightly so will be taking a strong squad. Imagine it will have to be Connor and Westerman in the halves though with Kelly, Sneyd and Abdull all missing.

So Powell advocates his players cheating by diving then like Ellis did after he dinked a kick over but too far so ran into a hull player and threw himself down!!

Poor comments by Powell.

I used to enjoy his complete belief in himself but he's become a bit of a cliche with his constant bleats about anything and everything except him and his team

Maybe he's been to the same school of media savvy that McDermott attends.

mcdermott's just odd
