I thought it was only me. I was going to post the same but I'd only have been accused of ruining a thread or denying people the the right to an opinion.
3 games, 3 wins, what the hell are people doing picking at anyone at this point. Frankly the only team firing at present is Saints and even they arn't setting the world alight!
I'm delighted with what I've seen so far from ALL players. The timings are a bit out but so what, at this time of year you don't want to peak you just want to pick up points.
Let's save the good stuff for Cas, it's not that far away. Let's arrive at that game if possible with10 points in the bag. Then let's have bodies and reputations on the line when it's for pride and bragging rights. Trust me these early games won't mean a thing by comparison.
As for judging players especially new ones after just 3 games and 3 wins, do certain posters never learn?

Agree also finn doesn't seem to be striking the ball with the same fluency that he's had in previous seasons - most of the kicks have been difficult but last year was kicking them for fun

| Quote ="Eastern Wildcat"As for knowing what's going off, then no I don't, as probably not many on here do either Vasty, that is apart from you, but as you have pointed put on numerous occasions, too much negativity and idle gossip, can have a negative impact and disrupt the team.'"
The difference is that not many on here profess to know whats going on, and vasty is right about too much negativity, so if you accept that then why do you post negative comments and single out one player for being penalised 3 times for headshots in a very intense mainly forward battle having played for the full 80mins with more than his share of tackling and ball carries, both Huby twice and Arona were also penalised for silly penalties, would you care to comment on that as well.

Okay he didn't set the game alight on Saturday apart from 2 head shots 1 facial and 1 knock on what else contributed to a real humdinger stinker as you so eloquently put it.

That's the problem, when your wingers score tries they tend to score them in the corners.

That's cos Johnstone doesn't have enough pace to allow him to outstrip all the defenders and then stroll into the middle and place it under the sticks - he's shocking!!!

Re horo he had a mare , gave other team 18 uneccesary tackles, or are we now saying he had a good game ? An odd penalty in a tight game so what it happens !
If you were ranking players on that game he’d have been down the bottom along with huby and Pauli

Save your sarcasm for vasty he's the one that makes you look an idiot all the time, I was simply pointing out that Johnstone scores most of his tries in the corner making it more difficult for Finn.
Nobody is saying Horo had a good game, but taking all things into account, it wasn't as bad as some people would have you believe, as you say he was better than Huby and Pauli, as for the 18 unnecessary tackles he gave away are you sure about that or are you just making it up to suit your argument, but I'm sure that when he gets settled in and he has a good game you and some of your back slapping mates will be on here telling all whats daft enough to listen that you knew he'd come good in time.

| Horo may not have had the best of games, but not the terrible one some people suggest.He took a lot of 'stick',ran the ball in well , more than once made three tackles in succession and made a
tremendous 'hit' on Bird.

Taking points in order - I did say the kicks were difficult .
Everyone on here says he gave 3 penalties 3 x 6 is 18,
Re mates yes I do have some ...,,
TBH not sure what point you are trying to make

| I'm not sure what the issue is here.
Go to in my opinion had a bad game by his own standards. He didn't lose us the game and if we had lost it wouldn't be all down to him anyway.
But he still fell short, so why can't we say so.
I take offence to the comments made about Grix is because they were personal and wildly incorrect but this isn't like that.

I wasn't aware I was trying to make a point, all I was guilty of was pointing out the obvious that it is more difficult to kick conversions from the touchline where wingers generally score their tries irrespective which side of the field there kicked from, you then came back with your child like sarcasm and then for whatever reason included Horo, I merely countered your opinion with one of my own, it would appear that it's you what's trying to make a meaningless point here matey.

| Have a point here.
Haven't read much of this thread but think this is relevant.
2 work colleagues, a Leeds and a Cas fan, both said to me what a good entertaining game it was, end to end, both teams played well. And as neutrals they both enjoyed it.
So end of thread now please.

Nah, that wasn't being chased off the pitch, get Hewer to ask Karl Kirkpatrick about being chased off

That's when a certain posters on here will do his Corporal Jones 'Don't panic, don't panic' routine.
Seriously though there are posters on here he can't wait for that day, our first loss can't come soon enough - it's sad, welcome to RL

| Karl Kirkpatric pure magic. Remember the photo of the twins with red faces chancing him with about 20 others.
Just one of the many memories from BV.

It's funny you should mention that because it's something I've noticed in just about every game I've watched on Sky this season. Generally, dropouts go around the 40-meter line, this season so far players seem to struggle to get past 30. The game on the TV the other day between wire and Wigan there was a couple of dropouts I remember that only just past the 20-meter mark.

| Just watched the game back - Have to say the 2 points to make it 16-10 was crucial, all made by a break from Tom Johnstone of course which lead to the penalty.
