Thu 10 Sept: SL: Castleford Tigers v Warrington Wolves KO 8.15pm (TV)

[DavidM]

Nice start from Richardson

[Barry Badrinath]

Ashton hasn't had the best start

[Man of Kent]

6-0 Cas after 19.

[Dave T]

I am not enjoying this six again rule. I think refs are happier to give this than a penalty, meaning it is changing the game a fair bit, no stoppage and many sets far more than 6 tackles. 

I'm missing some of the natural stoppages tbh.

Because they’re not blowing a penalty I think refs in both comps can throw them around a bit too freely . A lot are pretty minimal really

We are seeing two and maybe three a set which really should see team warnings. 

I hate how we have moved away from being a 6 tackle game. 

[Man of Kent]

Touch of desperation there by Wire, moving wide

I've never thought about that but it's a good point.

That's a bit exaggerated. Plenty of sets in this match without a six again.

On the other hand, the defending side isn’t taking the p*ss at the ruck. Refs are more in control of the ruck than previously.

[DavidM]

I still don’t know why they need a shot clock when they’ve got rid of the scrum . It’s a simple turnover , it seems to slow the game down at times as players watch it click down

We had 15 mins of touch and pass rubbish and it's been much better since.

###### ell lineham

[Hela Wigmen]

That’s Lineham out for the next five then.

We also give 7 tackles for the sin of kicking the ball an inch too far.

He will probably get the full 8.

[DavidM]

What is it with guys called Tom and the old knacker grab !

Nowt so sure. Why are they all doing this though? Very odd.

Need that to the set restart horn for full comic effect

[Just Browny]

Absolute state of the Cas players appealing for that then.

[Man of Kent]

Gelling try.

[Dave T]

Surprised we are all square there tbh. I'll take that at this stage. 

[Man of Kent]

6-6 HT. 

[Just Browny]

First attack.

[Man of Kent]

Cas have played really, really well but couldn’t take their chances. Warrington will be much more dangerous in the second half, you feel.
