I’d go other way, and say no ball stealing

Lets play tick and pass then, no doubt it would suit some people.

  The much maligned Mr Agar seems to be the most important difference.Even the Australians,signed by/for Mr Furner,seem delighted to play for him.

  Does Mr Elstone NOT attend games involving the club he follows? I thought Super League was going to be much improved and attendances would increase.Struggling on both counts,it seems.

Nah, it's the Carr influence...

You don't honestly believe if they had finished bottom they would have gone down do you? If that's affirmative can I intrest you in a nice get rich scheme that just can't fail, you only need to invest £10,000 and I almost guarantee you will probably double your money somtime possibly in the future☺☺☺☺☺☺☺

Give me more details

I know leeds have offloaded Watkins and moved Parcell on but with the signings they have made I wouldn't be surprised if they have deliberately breached the salary cap to avoid relegation just like Wigan did several years ago. 

Not sure why I'm bothering but anyway... since it's now a live cap compared to when Wigan did it (or didn't do it) it's not possible to have a significant and wholesale breach. The worst you'll get are technical breaches like Wigan's most recent which was about interpretation of minutia.

Moreover only someone financially illiterate would look at the ins and outs and go, "yup the ins must be being paid more".

Leeds miles offside at that last ptb, no wonder Cas fans are furious!

Question, why are you commenting Leeds shouldn't you be watching the shambolic Hull FC ?

I'd absolutely love to see the Giants reffed the same way Leeds are. 

 

Joker. Last time commentary team mentioned it it was 12 -3 to Cas. The giants had enough help from Hicks last night the first try was a ###### take of the highest order.

Garbage. Aston could break a paper bag. Peanut and Rankin been awful. Decent side would have put 30 on Leeds with that amount of territory and possession.

You fail to mention the clown that is Greg Eden.

Oh and being pedantic the lack of forward pass calls have been astounding. Plus a late hit on Watts. Leeds will have to shoot a Cas player to get a sin binning.

Yeah millington got away with loads.

Apart from the fact they're Iosing, why are cas fans booing and abusing the referee again?

Have I missed something or are they just whining for the sake of it?

That's what they do can't help themselves. Don't know why they booing ref he's doing his damdest for them.

[Kenilworth Tiger]

we were absolutely awful - had enough pressure to win 4 games last night yet were clueless in attack.

Leeds defended very well in fairness and looked hungrier from the off

 

Eden? Well what can I say

Eden, watch "that pass" again Kenny, Blair is definatley backing off to a ball that is losing momentum in its flight path, most ball playing competent sports people have a hand, eye and feet co-ordination and can read where a ball will land without even thinking about it - observe some of the fantastic catches in the Cricket W.C. - If Blair attacked the ball instead of moving away from it he would have taken the pass at pace and been in open ground. After watching it multiple times my conclusion is Blair did think about it and considered self preservation was the better option, or if you wish "chickened out" in observing the approching defender's, he made what could have been a wonder ball look like a disaster pass.

Other than that, agree with the rest of your post. 

PS in commentary Barrie McDermott stopped short of saying "Chickened Out" but he observed it as I did, I think!

Yeah, even with none of us knowing exact contract details, anyone with a clear mind and a braincell can see the ins and outs are evenly matched. Certainly close enough that you'd think a club with a previous impeccable record with the cap would get a bit more credit before being accused of cheating.......

With this result and the Robins losing and the Broncos will lose today to the Wolves it looks like the relegation battle is now a 2 horse race between the Robins and the Broncos.

too early to say.... KR can beat Leeds next week. Bronocs could do another unexpected Saints type win against Warrington.

You may be right but until Leeds and Huddersfield put a few more wins on the bounce I wouldn't rule them out... nor Wakey or Salford, although I think they are safe but few more poor results and they will be anxious and we know what the mental pressure side can do to players/teams performance.

Because I'm 185 miles away(or 155 if going over the bridge) and couldn't get to this game.

Question, do you know what a forum is? somewhere to discuss the topics at hand, this one was on the box so I watched some of it and passed comment, wake up silly boy.

Really, Cas beating Leeds has pretty much always been normal service.

Since 1935 ? 

[Dunbar]

Terrific win for Leeds that. The goal line defence was unrecognisable to what we saw earlier in the year and that is all down to attitude. Looks like the call to change the coach was the right one.
