5 Jul: SL: Castleford Tigers v Leeds Rhinos KO 7.45pm (TV)

Just me that thinks that Cas try should be chalked off.

[DavidM]

the stripping rule really is a blight on the game . So inconsistently officiated as they guess knock or penalty half the time for the same kind of incident .Some of these pens are just loose carries , contact or a player letting go off the ball when they feel an arm anywhere near it . A big majority of the pens come in this area

I get its hard for the refs. But as you say the inconsistentcy is the killer. We could have had a player sent in the bin when in another game we might have had a few penalties awarded to us.

If Cas had 13 players and the opposition had just the 1 player  and he was layed on the floor. He’d still tackle Nathan Massey.

For me, unless there is clear evidence of a strip it should be counted as a loose carry, it used to be said that it was the ball carrier's responsibility to hold the ball, that should be the case again,. IMO.

IMO to , ive always thought that

Oh Eden!

[Man of Kent]

Seems to be a good team spirit about Leeds. Encouraging signs for them

Yes.   This should be the case and refs ought to have enough gumption to see a real strip.

[Harry Stottle]

Totally agree with Barrie Mac, if Blair attacks that pass instead of backing away he would have had the momentum and in space, nothing wrong with the ball.

[Mattrhino]

No strip haha

[Mattrhino]

Hurrell is immense always runs his blood to water.

Wigans game finished ages ago.  Are the other shot clocks running slow?

[meast]

Remember a couple of years ago when Castleford fans were really upset cos Eden wasn't picked for England an got even more upset when everyone told them he wasn't anywhere near international class?

That's deja vu all over again...

[Pigeon Lofter]

Cas players seem to be trained to surrepticiously strip the ball in the tackle. Happening too often to be by chance. And also to spill it in the tackle to gain penalties too. Totally ruining the game but will anything be done? 

The nonsense at the PTB got sorted out with new rules and interpretations so maybe this trashy behaviour can be sorted out quickly too by the powers that be with a directive from on high. It's destroying the game by allowing cheating to be rewarded.

[snapski]

Leeds defended well, but lets be right we were awful. Both half backs and full back should pack up after that. The Eden pass didnt lose that game, we were 2nd best throughout. 

I’d play a corpse in front of Aston.

Richie Myles beats Corey Aston in the scrum-half clash of the titans.  #worldclassnumbersevens

[Rupert Prince]

What a relief.  I thought for half a minute Cas were going to scrape back.. Good old Leeds. I never doubted them for a minute, of course.

He got run over a few times . No wonder he’s been a championship half , he doesn’t have the physical stature or quality to steer a SL side around . He made Myler look good
