Here's the thing, you're more right than wrong and I've never being more desparing for RL than this instant.

Tbf this is one of the few Cas matches I've actively chosen not to watch. (don't live in Sunny Cas anymore). RL isn't a good 80 minutes when your team is not so good. 10% off and it's a blood bath. If your team is struggling from the season start then there's not a lot to go on entertainment wise. However, that teams that make their own luck just kills me. I'm old enough to remember Cas playing in 2017 and receiving many nothing penalties for nowt. No idea why a team who were being dominated were being penalised for no obvious offence. Didn't add anything to the contest. So would I have been entertained tonight? Yes, a good game despite the inevitable result. But for the sake of the popularity of the game do not kill the spectacle when /if it is not necessary. I'm not talking about manipulating results. I'm saying don't go out of your way to kill the game, teams should absolutely not make their own luck. I'm thinking this does not make the product on the pitch anymore popular to the passing observer(or does it?) Anyway, well done Wigan tonight and i'm hoping the GF isn't a tedious slog where I'm checking FB for something to do. Some interesting games tonight but I'm still miserable though

Well that's OK then....

Thank goodness our game continues to thrive....

If the GF is a slow motion tedious display of ptb interference resulting in..... Ohhh let's say a Wigan win over let's say... HKR, I would be a touch depressed and I don't think our game would gain anything from such a scenario. Tbf though, I'm not a Wigan, Saints or Leeds fan so what do I know.

The best teams make their own luck. It really doesn't help the product on the pitch though.

Used to be Corbyn but probably Starmer these days.

Even now Naples Museum is still my favourite. As so often though, if you know what you are looking at it's a real help, but you can't know everything!

Just mentioned on R4 now. What a thing!

The players must have been knackered by the end, two tries and one penalty. Is there a 'ball in play' figure for this match? Thinking it must be a big number.

I do think the game is easier to watch with quicker Ptbs irrespective of how skilled the interference. Wire Score!

Yes but I had such a lot of time for Lee Crooks. Some fun there!

But what was del Toro doing? Weird. Great Stuff otherwise!

The victory of hype over content. That's how it works.

Crikey I'm on the wrong day. Still, endless wendyball in Portugal. Does it ever stop?
