Barrie Mac, "the HKR crowd are trying everything to get the referee on side" as 'the referee's a w@nker' emanates from the stands.
That'll work well then.

Ha! Kendall had a good game I thought, other than not sinbinning the Rovers player for a clear shoulder charge.

All to easy for Cas .

Re: Round 5 : Thu Feb 27, 2020 9:38 pm  

Terrible game. Rovers half arsed in defence, Cas bombing tries left, right and centre. No atmosphere apart from abusive chanting at the ref.

Hopefully the TV game tomorrow is an improvement.

That Roger Millward trophy looked classy.
The No.6 on it looked like spray painted polystyrene.

Apart from SKD I thought the ex FC boys were the pick of the Dobbins side.

Caught by a prop?

Daggers shoulder charge ?
Is that a disciplinary job ?
Looked shocking

Huge gulf in class between the 2 teams.

Also worth noting that in Eden, Feki, JSL, Moors, Foster, Cook, plus Watts for 65 minutes, Castleford had pretty much as many players missing as Rovers and they are of a higher calibre arguably.

I don't think that they will get the better of Saints this year but they are increasingly looking the most equipped to test them.

Playing the ball with an attempt with the foot rule, as clearly been scrapped

For the whole of the first half there was 1 attempt to place the ball on the ground and play it back with the foot. The Castleford player in attempting to do that knocked the ball forward. Comical!

Refs and players are using their own ptb rule and the new rule is dead and buried.

I don't care whether they enforce it or not so long as they are consistent but blowing up once in a while does no good whatsoever
