If somebody said a Cas player would milk a penalty like that, the last one I would suspect is Shenton!

What next, Danny Brough encouraging a youngster.

First time I've seen Cas do it from what I can remember. Hate to see it. Ref should just say play on.

This is down to the ref from the point when cas got penalised which resulted in Cats first try.
Cant remember who it was but the cas player had no chance whatsoever of clearing from the quick play the ball which resulted in a penalty and a try...from that point on they probably thought sod it, its our turn,then the Cats do it....the games a joke.

Nope. As far as I’m concerned if a defender is between the dummy half and the first receiver, it’s a penalty.

Sorry but don't agree. Shenton definitely played for it and it shouldn't happen.

As for the game. Surprised we are only 8 behind. Can't see us getting close and it looks like it will be Wakey 3rd and Cas 4th for Easter.

True. If you notice after Shenton did it.... Gigot did it a little while later on our prop Clark. Clark had a moan at Gigot and he pointed to Shenton.... Just shows teams will do anything for a penalty.

Down to the game to stop it

Maybe he did, but as soon as we start giving penalties for “intent”, things get very tricky. What’s to say he didn’t just fumble the ball? It would have made its way to McShane but for the offside player.
It’s the rule that needs to change from offside to obstruction in my opinion.

It he's stood up then you may have a point. He was on the floor though. Nothing stopping Shenton passing to Mcshane cleanly. Think you're in the minority.

Par for the course.

Great defence by Mead there.

Excellent. Gigot is offside and within the 10 here.....

Can only assume the VR can’t see Gigot for some bizarre reason.
However, Cas deserve nothing from this (so far).
James Clare is simply nowhere near a SL player.
