Thought it was a good game tonight despite the loss. Thought Miller had a good game, but tonight shows we miss Tickle for his goal kicking.

Yes. I'd agree that assessment.

Wasn't an all round terrible performance though. I also think we are been unfair to Cas.

It was both, as I quite clearly pointed out.

We scored more tries than they did BTW. Wonder what the difference in score was down to?

I expected us to win tonight and it appears so did the players. lack of a leader. And holdsworth's goalkicking is getting worse.

Most entertaining bizarre game I've seen all year, truly hot potatoe stuff.

Kind of reminded me of HKR v Salford.

You've just agreed that three of their tries were down to terrible defending. And we still scored one more try than they did. In what way am I being unfair to them?

no, I say what I see, FC where beaten by a poor Castleford side tonight, whatever you think is up to you, you live in Hessle afterall.

Cas are a poor side, we where worse, which after Gentles bluster about Catalans makes me think we've got some passengers (fans and players)

Disagree. The opposite if anything. At times we looked terrified of losing.


Agree with that. Holdsworth was [itrying[/i to lead and get us to calm down in attack but it wasn't very effective.


Quite a large part of goal kicking is confidence. I'd say his is probably shot.

I thought Castleford played poor in first half, but came out on fire second. They were up for this more then us.

Those 5 mins were poor, Cas came out with an intensity we weren't expecting. Watts and Whiting fell off a few and Cas, through some very good play, took advantage.

My only gripe with our attack is the majority of defenses are so well drilled that their up on our 3rd/4th receiver as their taking the pass, so we need to stand deeper. This isn't always possible though.

Cas have had some good results at home and have beaten better side than us, i'm disappointed to lose but I won't join in in the mood swing mentality of some.

I wasn't talking about your assessment of the game more the fool comment

Kosh I'm guilty of getting carried away with our results prior to catalan. I've been brought back down to earth with a massive bump. Hard to reflect when you've just lost other than to say I'm gutted.

it stands

I thought galea,mcdonnell,crookes and arundle all had poor games,but to blame holdsworth,who other than his goalkicking, had a decent game is very harsh !

Quick question.

Why was Galea poor but not Whiting?

But for gansons decision it could have been 3 losses in the last 4.

We were drawing prior to the "try" at Hull KR

I agree,whiting was poor as well, he escaped my memory.

PG on SKY saying players needed an attitude adjustment and he thought if we had been playing Wigan or Warrington we would have defended better.

It still could have been loss,or a draw at best,just another poor performance,after the brilliant efforts against leeds and warrington !

It was down to Kirk Dixon who won them the game surely?

I think the deciding factor was the we had to one truly world class player on the field today. Without Chase, it would have been an easy FC win.

Cracking game for the neutral fans

Leeds lost at Cas as well.As for performance,i wouldnt say terrible...that was Rovers at home,Widnes away,Rovers at manchester,London away...those was terrible......we wasnt good but we wasnt terrible either.

We have been spoilt by the way Danny slots them over, but we shouldn`t slag off Holdsworth, even if we would have won had he converted all his kicks. . He was unlucky with the one that hit the post.
