Following Cas's defeat Radford has left the club as head coach.
His appointment was a bit of a surprise and his leaving the club isn't.

He has fallen out with a number of players during the week before the Wigan game.

Told a number of them they could leave, then the directors disagreed and he had to back down.

The Westerman incident was somewhat handled poorly by him. Board not happy one of his key players who was on a 2 month drinking ban was out and the way he joked about it publicly didn’t go down well at all.

I love Radford as a bloke, he’s probably too honest to be a good man manager and that has now cost him 2 jobs where he lost the changing room and the support of the BOD.

Yes he could have stopped and got banjoed from behind or ran over the ref,I think to be honest he protected the ref as he could have easily ran into him but tried to push him out of the way as the ref was impeding play by being in the way.

Marshall should get a ban for not strangling the referee!

Unless Tom Grant puts his hands up and says sorry my fault I can't see how Marshall won't get a ban, sets a dangerous precedent re. contact with the ref

He didn't give a six again he indicated like all the refs do for a 7 tackle set that it was a zero tackle

If that’s a ban, well I don’t know what to say. Games gone, I’m at a loss, I can’t be bothered with it all anymore etc etc. The club should receive an apology, so to say it couldn’t be any further away from a ban is an understatement.

What do I know, no mention of Marshall on this week disciplinary

Re: Castleford (a) : Mon Mar 06, 2023 2:41 pm  

No mention of it under the disciplinary round up.

Should go without saying but I get why it was being mentioned.

RFL in common sense shocker!

Re: Castleford (a) : Mon Mar 06, 2023 2:56 pm  

RFL reported that Marshall raised his arm to minimise contact. Common sense!
