Interesting as he’s brought in kershaw for Kaye , other than that 1-13 plus walker battle and arundel

Agreed. Looks to be in his element and really bringing something to the team… why fix something that’s not broken.

Bit surprised if fit ? That batchelor has been dropped offered much more than arundel in pack

Cant believe kershaw playing ahead of kaye one scores trys and one doesnt

Was the poorest of the the last week

Havent seen anything from the game so cant comment on last week all i know is yetbagain kershaw went missing for kick from which they scored..personally dont think either are good enough....also dont get arundel ahead of batch for second row sub spot.but in no coach and had a bad weekend with rugby so very out of rugby at mo

I'd say having Arundal on the bench has just paid off.

We've had a lot of games. Some players need to take a rest for next game.
Doesn't always have to be a conspiracy.
Saying that, Arundal runs excellent lines so he isn't a step down.

I'm getting fed up with Mata’utia now. He's just taking the mickey. I don't remember him being this good.

Kershaw has saved a landslide tonight down his side with his tackling , if everyone had applied themselves like him we wouldn’t be in this mess tonight , watching the Peter mata’tea show

He’s always been that good

And tonight we’ve made him look a superstar

Well we are not getting in to them, standing back and allowing Cas with bags of time on the ball.
We look jaded and offering nothing in attack at the moment.

Just what was needed MILLER try.
Cas turn to give silly penalties away. 10 to go we can take this one.

He isn't, were just good at making average players look good. He's not the only average player we've improved, when playing against us

Difference between the sides, one is well coached and drilled, the other relies on individual players, when they don't fire there is nothing to draw upon. Lino very quiet, Miller looked busy but drifted out of the game too much. Johnstone not looking himself and getting no ball.

To be fair we made Liam Hood look like James Roby.

Really poor performance was that. From the Off it’s like we were trying to score off every play the ball, and not building any pressure at all, wasting good field possession with really poor 5th tackle plays. The service Johnstone got tonight was atrocious, it’s like having a Ferrari and just leaving it to rot in the garage. Tough Error from Max but I was more disappointed with his 1-1 attempt on Turner tbf, just got brushed off which isn’t good enough at this level. Both sides poor and error strewn.

Disgraceful performance from majority of players. When you’re best players are Lyne and Kershaw you’re going to be in trouble.

Can’t wait for Chester to go. Attack is atrocious.

That was very poor. Precious little idea with the ball and some soft defence made an average Cas performance look good. Miller took his two tries well but his creative play was non-existent. Lino was dire. They kept a handle on Westerman and we had no real plan B.

And what has happened to Battye this year? He’s been average at best and thats being generous.

Discussion on here prior to the game was who would stand down for TJ to come into the team, may as well have kept Liam K in, for all the ball that TJ got. I can't recall him getting one pass.

The game was summed up, for me, at the end of the first half when there was 13 seconds left on the clock and Westerman ends up driving the ball in from about 20m out. Clueless.

Yep. Didn't see TJ get one pass all night.

Thought Westerman was head and shoulders above anyone in our side in the first half but as the game progressed he seemed to lose interest, can't blame him.
Battye works best when he has a support player running with him, a bit like what Watts was getting tonight.
Kyle Wood offered nothing that Brad Walker couldn't do.
The ability to follow the player taking up the ball is non existent, summed up when Fifita offloaded in the tackle and no one was ready.
As has been said on another thread, Ashurst getting the ball stripped twice and the only time TJ got the ball was when he was helping out.
Cas were bad, we were worse.

I said same we had 5 mins while billy got dealt with the plsyers knew what time was left so thought we would come up with summet no letsjudt drive it in same at end 10 seconds left give it to tommy to drive through them shocking.i was stood east stand at the north side and when we attacked we where so flat and lini and miller didnt kniw what was happening.
There was only 1 sub made in first 25 mins and our forwards looked knackered why wasnt subs made earlier.we have one of best finishers in game but he gets no service we at time are cluless in attack.for me reece lynne kelepi and brad walker are the only players to out with any credit...i believe the wins v hudds and kr will end up been the worst results in a ling time.

We had better players than cas on field tonight on paper but they have a coach

Another 2 points thrown away - that was disgraceful end of story .

By our upcoming fixtures i see around a 6 - 8 loss streak coming .

is 6 points enough ?

How many ball steals did we suffer tonight? 5 or 6 ?
