The criticism of KPP is absolutely ridiculous.

He’s just turned 22 and was one of our only bright spots in 2021.

2022 I thought he was very good filling in our hole at centre.

He’s played one game in 2023, created and scored a try. Yes work rate and defence wasn’t great but that could have been said about many of the team against HKR.

He’s got the world at his feet and IMO is has Sonny Bill like skills.

Hes still developing. I think he should be on the bench ahead of the 5th prop Mago.

Comparing him with SBW is ridiculous! He’s nowhere near his level and probably never will be.

The difference though in regards development is SBW brought physicality from his first introduction to first grade rugby.

It’s great he can offload and he undoubtedly offers something different but the rest of his game needs improvement.

What happened with the ref getting in front of Marshy stopping him scoring a try?

Plus the suspect pens and missed hit on Wardle

Considering they are club commentators, Mills and Bilko are normally pretty balanced but they are saying the ref has been awful.

Happy to be up at the break after a poor half.

Don't think I've ever seen Tom Grant have a good game in all honesty.

Sounds like cas will be down a few players next week. Dirty tactics definitely at play

You cannot be serious? That was a wind up right?

Wasn't it just? Every credit for that, can't wait to see it.

Well done Wigan - great response to Hull KR. I see neutrality is all the range with the Castleford match reports:

'Kenny Edwards was hit late with a bad tackle that the ref saw nothing wrong with. He let go of the ball as he was clearly in pain and the ref deemed that he’d knocked on'

Re: Castleford (a) : Fri Mar 03, 2023 11:03 pm  

We earned that tonight. The scoreline doesn’t tell anything like the story. We were pinned in our half for the first 30 minutes (mainly due to silly errors and a ref who closed his eyes whenever we had the ball) and the first try broke it open for us. The ref was the best player for Cas on the night, including the tackle of the season on Marshall at 0-0 to stop a certain try.

I didn’t feel we had any real standouts bar Marshall, it was just a gritty team effort and after we ground them down, you could see the difference in class. I’d still love for us to sign another forward but it was a pleasing night.
