When it comes to derbies.

But we beat Leeds in a derby 4 weeks ago??!!

Dont think its about fire in bellies we just aint good enough

Did the game kick off early.

Early days yet, give the lads time, we've beaten Leeds pre season but you can't expect us to beat every team we play. Losing today thus far but I don't think it's to do with fire in the belly, let's see how the second half goes before we start questioning their heart.

Half time Castleford 14 Trinity 6

This is about fine tuning and learning how to play together under pressure. Cas already have that.
More improvememt to come imho.

It's a friendly, last thing we want is a load of pointless injuries.

If we were getting pumped 30:0 at half time in a super league game I could understand a few comments but 14:6 in a pre season friendly really?

Give them a chance...

Just like to point out when I posted this we were 10-0 down within the first 10 minutes.

22-6 down

Omg the end of the world is upon us.

Lets not kid ourselves we beat below par leeds team in terrible conditions which made it a more levell playing field we was lucky to beat fev and only won on goal kicks and if gale had his kicking boots on we be more behind today we are simply not good enough

26-6 down

Well we know where our weak point is now.

32-6 down. Not good enough. Alarm bells ringing.

Need to clean up our act otherwise Widnes will carve us open

Did anyone have a good game? Lyne seemed to have a good game according to Twitter, scoring and saving a try

If you can read anything into friendlys and think they're the be all and end all then at least we know we will be above Widnes Wigan and HKR this season then. It was a friendly against a full strength cas team who are a lot better than us on the pitch at the moment, we will learn a lot from that game to work before the real season starts. What is it a couple of signings and the deluded doom and groomers expect us in the top 4. We are aiming for 8th and today's result will have done us good in preparation for the season.

Where?

Widnes just won at saints

And we won at Leeds

All part of Smith's master plan.
We didn't want to show our hand and it will be a different game in 3 weeks time.

Castleford's line speed was excellent for the full 80 mins bot in attack and defence and we struggled to make any yards for most of the game plus, their kicking game, albeit from better field position was far superior to us but, this was just a pre season run.

Wigan wont be losing too much sleep about their reverse against Salford

Smiths masterplan is signing players he knows nothing about and bringing students over to improve our strength

Yes he must be rubbish. Thanks for helping us see that Leeds cat.
