I agree wholeheartedly which is why it is bemusing we never kick for them to try and attack the ball on the opponent's try line. It is one part of our game that infuriates me. Johnstone must be one of the best leapers for the ball I have seen and we never bloody kick it high for him to catch or if we do the kick is far too deep for him to do anything with.

Agreed we don`t utilise them anywhere near enough as we should do, beggars belief really when you look at how poor our last tackle plays are 15/20 meters out..

I would hope that we will be putting their FB and wingers under some kick pressure tonight as it does seem to be their Achilles heel at the moment. Looking forward to the game, always enjoy our derby games both at home and at Cas.

I don't think you need to do a match up, head to head, for each team. It's generally Moors, Millington and Gale who do the damage against us. The rest can just hang onto their coat tails if they feel like it.

If BJB plays I hope he cuts out the usual attempted interceptions. Missing and giving the wing man a free run or knocking down for another set of 6 is the last thing we need on tackle 5 or 6!

Just a bit of defence on behalf of BJB,I think most wingers are coached to attack the centre when defending and the FB should hopefully be following the ball and gets over to the winger, so he maybe following orders....maybe.

Surprise surprise. Fafita plays as I said he would a few days ago. You did the exact same last year.

Laughable.
As predictable as a surprise on Cilla Black’s ‘Surprise Surprise’.

Did the same with Kyle Wood against Hudds a few weeks back against Hudds, wasn't named in 19 but ended up starting. Personally I don't know how we keep getting away with it.

This is a painful match to watch in terms of penalties and errors.

Re: 19 for Castleford : Thu Mar 29, 2018 8:45 pm  

10 losses on the bounce against these lost - there is no pride in these derbies anymore.

At the risk of offending, Finn and Grix are starting to make Smith and Mathers look quick. Horo and Pauli are turning out to be uninspired signings.

I did wonder when the real wllzay would crawl back out from under his stone.

Couldn't agree more there regarding Horo and Pauli. I know Pauli needs time to get fitness, but both of them probably on decent contracts and quota spots, how long do you give them.

I really hope the halves are freshened up for Hull. At times we looked to lack ideas when we were near their line.

Not all bad though, think we defended better tonight than we have in last couple of weeks apart from when we stood back and allowed Gale to run laterally across the line to set up their only try.

Onwards and upwards to Hull
