I think there's some homework you need to get started on, kid.

3 penalties back to back to back for not marking square when Cas were stood on their own line resulting in a Hull try is of course perfect refereeing and didn't help Hull at all did it?

Or do you have more examples of this supposed bollock$ which usually ends up showing to be correct? There's only a couple of times things I've said haven't happened, just because some people don't agree doesn't mean you can ridicule it, does it?

Now I'm used to it from the pondlife who support Wakey, but from one of our own that's just shocking, unless you're one of the ****heads at the back of the WRE who give the club a bad name, which wouldn't surprise me tbh.

Yep, full of it.

Hello pot, would you like to meet Mr kettle?

Now back on topic and stop breaking the AUP by launching personal attacks at an individual poster



And here is a quality example of a Hull fan being both bitter and delusional in one point, and people have a go at me, for no reason too:

For some reason certain Cas fans and Hull fans are getting on there high horses. Both fans can feel aggrieved that on the night Childs one way another cost there teams a try or valuable field position. Certain Hull fans claiming Childs cost us the game which is a fair point to make considering he made some baffling decisions to ease the pressure on the cas line or missed certain incidents. However he did the same with Cas so you could argue you can feel aggrieved that you couldn't play to your full potential and probably penalized you more then he should have done.

I am never a fan of the "best team lost" because in Rugby League in general the best team never loses a game. The point is that last night we will never know who the best team was, Cas defended there goal line very well and I thought we were creating chances at wide but was not taking them.

The point most people are venting is he ruined a game and ultimately has left a sour taste in supporters , coaches and players of BOTH clubs. Cas got the two points in the end nothing can change that but we can change the fact that Childs shouldn't be reffing rugby league games.

What Sean Long did at the end wasn't acceptable IMO however this incident had being masterminded by childs. The players practically brawled every tackle in the second half and this was all because of the frustration both teams had with the referee and he failed to control them.

Well done to Cas and your superb start to the season with no hope of Hull being in the play offs I will be rooting for you come the end of the season.

As for last night we will never know who the best team was in the end, because neither team was allowed to play free flowing stuff.

I drove to Hull and back from Newcastle last night just for the game. I'm glad I did, I thought it was an enthralling game. Both teams tried to throw the ball about. Both teams where well up for it. It was very tense and very closely fought contest the whole way through, and the result could've gone either way right to the death. I thoroughly enjoyed the game as a spectacle.

However, I do wish (not because I am a Hull fan) that Yeamo had managed to sneak over in the last minute to secure victory. This is because all the justified criticism of the referee's performance would not then look like sour grapes. It really is not. Cas showed up well and are deservedly 2nd in the table, they looked dangerous with ball in hand and defended very well. I did not see a gulf in the teams that the league table suggests though and thought Hull deserved something from the game.

John Childs should be embarrassed and ashamed of himself. I have never seen such a complete and utter inept refereeing display in 20+ years of watching rugby league. The awarding of some penalties was baffling and the inconsistencies quite simply shocking. I really do hope that the coach and/or club put in a formal complaint to the RFL or the RFL take it upon themselves to at least review his display. It is pleasing to read that several Castleford fans (on these boards) have also been gracious enough to admit that some of his decisions left them bewildered. They say a good referee is one that ghosts through a game relatively un-noticed. Well it would appear that last night John Childs wanted to be the highlight of the game and he certainly succeeded in that. It is of course impossible to say what the result of the game would have been with a different referee, but I do fell in such a closely fought contest that his influence alone impacted on the result.

Well played to Cas on the result and well done to the fans for making plenty of noise.

I highlight you because every week i see you on other forums slagging off opposition players,fans, stadiums and you react to any post that might be a negective towards Cas when most posts on other forums are quite complementary, i find it embarrassing who made you chief mouthpiece for Cas?
And with every win i see more Cas fans on this forum doing the same.
Do you expect everyone on the planet to come on this forum and tell us how wonderfull we are? don't turn this forum into a Wigan one, we haven't won anything yet!
Be gracious in victory and be gracious in defeat, remember pride comes before a fall.

I think you will find I said the "majority" not "all"
Every team has fans who think they have a divine right to win everything,part of the game.

I think the table proves we arn`t better than you bud.

If Cas had lost last night, without one shadow of a doubt, we would have been complaining about the performance of the ref. We won a tight game in which the ref had a ridiculous impact on.

Most fans from cas are up in arms over the referee.
Most are in agreement with the hull fans that mr childs was dire.

Aye but the majority are not being impartial but biased.

Hull fans think he favoured Cas, Cas fans think he favoured Hull. In all honesty, both sides are probably wrong and in essence the majority of decisions may or may not have been right.

We cannot see until we see the replays.

What we do know is that Radford was sinbinned for a grapple tackle, which is apparently a yellow card offence now.

Long got sent off for an elbow and we also know that it was deserved too.

Cannot comment on the other penalties as not there but players and clubs have to shoulder the blame too. Let's face it, the game would have flowed more if the players hadn't got so frustrated and started throwing punches at each other.

I recall watching Child's performance at Cardiff and being quite frustrated (not very frustrated because I tend to concentrate on the teams [well Cas anyway and the game).

When I got back and watched the recording, I couldn't find a single one of his penalties where I could honestly say: "That was wrong". 37 penalties in a game was still frustrating, mind.

Those black and white glasses are a bugger to get off mate.

Suppose it's better than having red and white ones, though, mate.

You'd be seeing everything five times.

Personally I thought the game was a cracking game but for all the wrong the reasons. It was a proper traditional tough game of RL, which competently policed would've been a cracking game for all the right reasons.

Both teams were up for it, there could be no doubt about that. I did feel however that we were rushing things far too much, especially in the first half and trying to score from every set. We weren't playing with the composed approach and creative flair that we've seen builds pressure and provides us with dominant field position. Hull succeeded in pushing us down the middle and we seemed reluctant at times to spread the ball wide, despite more often than not doing serious damage when we did.

Defensively though, we were superb. Hull put us to the test throughout the game and in general we were solid, in particular near our own line. They've clearly improved in recent weeks and will continue to do so.

I'm not too fussed about the issues with our attack at this stage because we proved we can tough it out when we need to. With regards to the attack, there's plenty of improvement there - when moves aren't coming off it's more to do with timing and positioning than anything else and these things will come together with time.

I would describe the refereeing performance as unfathomable. Penalties were awarded with no obvious offence having been committed, whilst seemingly obvious offences were overlooked. The game felt frustratingly out of control from a very early stage and the players clearly became more and more frustrated as the game progressed. A number of points were scored by both teams as a result of mystifying calls; and Hull's first try was scored through field position gained from a refereeing mistake.

If Hull are entitled to complain, then we hold an equal right in that respect; however I believe it's harsh to say the referee cost them the game. I say that because Rugby League fans frequently scream out for consistency from the man in the middle and on Friday night we got exactly that.

Of course it was. He clearly set out solely to ensure Sean Long lost all maner of self-control.

I actually thought what Long did at the end was probably a retaliation to the fact that he'd just been smashed by Willie Isa, and legally too - it certainly looked that way to me from a decent angle.

Isa charged but not for the hit on long. Instead it's dangerous contact on Luaki. www.therfl.co.uk/disciplinary/item?2472

Long charged for "strike with of forearm/elbow in 75th minute"

Obviously people at the game would have had a better view than the relays i saw but it did look he was caught high by Willie, it does not excuse what long to to Jacob but it was a little understandable why he lost his rag

No child didn't let the game boil over at any point during the second half.

Yet it would appear my assessment was [url=http://www.therfl.co.uk/disciplinary/item?2479correct[/url...

Grade D, 3-5 games?

Congratulations



like i said maybe it looked worse than in the highlight i saw, didnt see replay of the one he is being charged for though
