Sun 13 Sept: CC6: Castleford Tigers v Hull FC KO 3pm (TV)

[Man of Kent]

I’ll go for Hull.

Cas put a lot of effort into the Wire game only to come up short. I’d also expect this to be a bit of a tryfest, and Hull have the better backs.

Anybody’s guess.  Back to the future/wrong game is a difficult concept for me to grasp.

Cas unluckily lost to Warrington in a Cup cracker after Hull had to pull out at late notice

Don't you understand what the new modern game is about?  It's generally easy to make yards down the middle.  Whats important is what happens in the last  11yards.

And Cas did not have the wit in the last 11yards.  Wire tried a lot of high kicks to the corners with no effect.  In the end it took one act of carelessness from Cas and a bit of luck from Wire.

maybe, but cas tended to limit warringtons yardage on most sets, I guess their not playing the same game either.

I agree may be easier to make yards, especially if set restarts, than previous but outer defence is still important. Warrington struggled at times.

Agree Cas need to improve attacking play as in not having the wit.. agree with you their.

Yes.

But my point is the game centred on the 10m line.  Both sides were mostly snuffed out. Wire kicks in fact were quite good but they were well defended.  It was a bit of a lucky Wire try but Cas cannot complain as they had lots of opportunities. 

[snapski]

Trueman back will help with the attacking kicking game. Blair also back. And looking forward to finally seeing Feki on the wing.

Thought Milner should have gone in the bin at least for that.

Very clever Snapper, mate.

In a bizarre match thread where at least half the posts are relating to an earlier game, you have managed to produce a post that will no doubt end up being relevant to both that game and today's.

Yeah could be an apt post. He is a bit of a penalty machine full stop. Good luck to both teams, really don’t care who wins. Can’t wait for this season to finish.

Rugby League on a Sunday afternoon who would ever have thought it, it now seems commonplace.

Plenty of talk about short turnaround, what would they have done with a Christmas day and Boxing day schedule or even Good Friday, Saturday, Easter Monday one? Of course it's a different game nowadays yada,yada, yada.

[Gates1]

Finally the debut the Cas fans have been waiting for...James Claire's full back bow.

[Futtocks]

A tribute to Roy Francis as part of the build-up.

[The Hallucinating Goose]

Great piece on Roy Francis. Absolute legend. 

[Barry Badrinath]

Daryl Powel "if we can get Paul mcshane running more, he's the best player in the competition"

NARRATOR'S VOICE: Paul mcshane was NOT the best player in the competition 

[my missus]

he's like cameron smith in that he plays hooker and then nothing.

I think his point is fair . They’re both the hub of what their teams do and have similar attributes . He didn’t say he was as good as him

Forward

Tuimavave celebrates his new contract with the first try of the game.

[The Hallucinating Goose]

Yes! Great break from Shaul, Tuimavave in under the posts!

Certainly looked it in the reverse angle replay too.

It wasnt even close. Passed before the 20 metre line and caught after it. 

[snapski]

That looked dodgy as well

[Barry Badrinath]

Im amazed the ref didn't ping Shenton for interference in the air then.

I mean, he didn't  but 99 times out of 100 they penalise that

Yes, it was forward, but not for that reason.

[EastLondonMike]

Soft online defence.
