Watching a live game for the first time this season… two problems with this team … 1) effort… all good on the first effort but no second or third effort… particularly with the ball… Lino is the only playmaker so it’s obvious he gets the ball … there are no dummy runners… players stood watching… easy for the defence… 2) the forwards… not big … easy to handle… not working as a pack … not lazy … but lethargic… slow dummy half feed.. one up football…

I see the team lack confidence… but they also lack desire… the desire to beat the opposition into the ground… at all cost! Honestly they looked beaten in the warm up…. sadly that can only come from the coaching staff.

What was Kershaw doing. Should’ve gone low….

What an extremely poor game, the worse standard I've seen in years, the skill levels of both teams are appalling

Nothing particularly wrong with the officials, its not their fault that both teams are completely useless

I genuinely thought the ref had a decent game. Cas poor we are atrocious.

Fair call to say these players receive full time coaching and fitness… the lack of basic application is worrying

I’ve seen our main issue tonight.

Hooker and Loose forward.

Hood wouldn’t play again for me after the distribution. So slow and delays constantly.

Ball was passed along line many times and hit Crowther with players moving outside him and Crowther runs it in. I like Crowther but he really needs to book up and find a pass along the line.

I actually thought Lino was very good and Smith was pretty good too. 9 and 13 are huge issues.

Yes Griffiths good again, fair and same for both teams

Re: Castleford away Thursday : Thu Apr 06, 2023 8:47 pm  

Sorry Mark, time to go. 47 points in 8 games is not acceptable, less than a converted try a match.
I won't be dragging my kids to this rubbish a week on Sunday despite us having season tickets. Better things to spend our time doing.
