The ball steal lottery is getting ridiculous. We definitely need to introduce 2 referees, I thought they were meant to be trialling it in the U19s this season?

McShane got his hands in almost every tackle. Outcome was successful slowing PTB while opposition player tried to disentangle, and at least 2 “knock ons” won.

Whilever cheating gets rewarded players will do it to gain an advantage. All sides do it to some extent but I particularly noticed McShane last night.

I’ve also seen players drop the ball when in possession and tackled by 2+ players when they fee they’ll win a penalty.

If we can get rid of this crap it will significantly enhance the spectacle.

Powell, thank god he's extended his contract at Cas, some on here really like him, candidly he is a poor looser, always Blames others for his shortcomings , look at last nights game, Thaller tried everything to help Cas and he comes out with they got some bad calls. He is a miserable bitch, I wouldn't pee on him if he was on fire.
The good news, we played well , we won and I'm happy, I even had my testicles played with by two Cas women, well one was a women .

They could have done with those ball handling skills on the pitch.

Powell has been found out to be an average coach , Leeds have dodged a bullet here . Apart from one outstanding season in 2017 his record is bang average .

His constant carping about referees is very tiresome , he's got a ton of injuries , like no one else has ??

Worst of all is the constant head shaking and looks of disgust he shows whenever one of his team makes a mistake .

His management under pressure looks very suspect , in coaching terms no better than say Chester or Radford .

He is a serial loser. He has a losers mentality and he's a petulant little b-tch just like his players. I don't think he'll ever win a trophy.

Wherever he "learned" it is irrelevant, the fact is that it's cheating and it spoils the game.

The whole ruck area is a mess. In an age where SL is under serious pressure, if seasoned fans are getting narked with it then how do you think new markets will take to it?

Ball security in the tackle has always been difficult to police in RL. The current rules aren't really working though.

Re: SL RD 21 | Castleford Tigers (A) : Mon Jul 08, 2019 9:17 am  

It wasn’t hard to police when the attacker simply had responsibility to keep hold of the ball, and there was no two man tackle stripping nonsense.

Re: SL RD 21 | Castleford Tigers (A) : Mon Jul 08, 2019 9:46 am  

Just allow stripping of the ball regardless of the numbers in the tackle and put the onus on the ball carrier.

Re: SL RD 21 | Castleford Tigers (A) : Mon Jul 08, 2019 9:56 am  

Could you allow stripping on initial contact only?

There’s so much wrestle these days that it could get extremely messy otherwise.

Maybe once the referee calls the tackle held, the man in possession can’t be dispossessed and play is suspended until the PTB - i.e. no knock-on or stripping allowed. We need to remove the incentive for defenders to displace the ball or for the attacker to lose it on purpose when more then one player is in the tackle, just to win the penalty.
