Given the number of mistakes we did well to be with in two scores. Ridiculous number of knock ons.

Utter crap, McDermott once again shows is inability to learn from past mistakes

What "past mistakes"? Be specific, you've just made a general statement which doesn't actually make sense under scrutiny.

Leeds shipped 60 early season so based on that alone you could argue he has learnt. Furthermore, tonight leeds problem was dropped ball, which I don't think was the main issue in Newcastle.

Cas are just better than us this season, but we can probably beat them once out of 5 attempts if we are at 100%.

He should man up to Hetherington, tell him that the players simply aren't good enough, then quit. It's a fact that they're not and it's a fact he can no longer wring a performance out of them when it's needed.

That's your opinion, not fact.

Couldn't believe the amount of dropped ball. I've not seen the stats but it must have been in the 20s.

Positive is that we defended well against them. We coukd have won if we'd ever manned to get near their line

I'm still not writing us off after that. We can't drop as much possession as that again surely? We're in dire need of a cool head in the team. The petulance was embarrassing at times. I thought we kept our attack too narrow, and should've got the ball wider of the ruck more often. Cas were strong in the middle - they were miles better in this area than last week, and their line speed was excellent. We should've adapted to that. I actually thought we should've tried a few more chips over the top as our kicking game from deep was terrible, and Cas' kick pressure was also on point.
I thought we defended OK overall, but we made it too easy for Cas because of our failure to control possession.

The 6 in a row sounds impressive but Cas have landed quite lucky in when they've faced us for a while.

What excuse this time?
Did we land lucky in a tough draw playing Hull away in a QF last Sunday while you played, who was it again.....?

2 forwards who punch holes for fun and the captain missing for cas yet we still outclass and out think you!
Don't tell me.......it was the wefferwee.

Same mistakes of not using his subs properly, one went completely unused and another got 20 mins top, we looked absolutely shot and the error count was partly down to fatigue

Also if you ever wanted to push Jack Walker into Wires hands, try sitting him on the bench for 80 mins in a game where we needed some attacking spark

Who have you seen making excuses, we completed at less than 60%, we would have lost to some championship sides doing that

Proper funny seeing all you lot giving it the biggun, you have won nothing in like 30 years you are already out the cup and will probably bottle the playoffs as well

Re: RD 19 | Leeds Rhinos v Castleford Tigers : Fri Jun 23, 2017 9:52 pm  

I didn't think we looked shot. Not psychically anyway. I do think Mullally deserves more game time though, he makes an impact every time he's on.
