There you go then, thats why we did'nt win

It was a combination of Huddersfields excellent last line of defence and Castlefords poor attack.

I can't remember the last time a team was gifted so much territory and did so little with it.

You were playing against an understrength Huddersfield Pack aswell, every thing was in your favour and you blew it. I would of expected Salford to get the win in that situation.

Mr Matterson needs to look closer to home before passing the blame for his players abysmal decision making.

Plus Huddersfield were off-side at every Cas scrum feed.
Always moving up soon as ball goes in scrum,instead of waiting for the ball to come out.
I get the impression with Huddersfield every time Ive seen them play they would rather give away a penalty then let the opposition get a roll on.

I've heard it all now

So why not just say that then instead of throwing accusations at opposition coaches. The guy is very unprofessional, I don't hear any other SL coaches having a dig at the opposite number.

Lets face it if Cas had scored a late try and won, Matterson wouldn't of said Jack about the alleged grapple tackles.

spot on!
his comments and some of the comments on this thread are very bitter and sour
not only did we have an understrength pack we also had kirmond,walsh,lawrence,cudjoe,patrick and lunt who have very little SL experience ,indeed, it was patrick's SL debut for us, walsh's 2nd game for us and lunt's 2nd game, so to soak up as much pressure as we did from a very good and experienced castleford side to me deserves a hell of a lot of credit, something matterson failed to do

So we're bitter and sour, our coach is unprofessional who doesn't give anyone credit, we didn't even manage to shut down a very understrength and inexperienced side, the ref favoured us, etc. Any more I forgot?

Really? "Penalty sufficient", "Unnecessary contact with neck of tackled player", "Player contact with neck of opponent but benefit given to defender that he was completing tackle and not intending to injure", "Unnecessary pressure on joint in 78th minute – warning letter" are hardly acquittals without a stain on your character

"We have reviewed the Castleford v Huddersfield game and do not feel there is a problem," said a RFL spokesman.

Why would the rfl send out a warning letter if there was no problem?
