Mon 17 May: SL: Castleford Tigers v Hull Kingston Rovers KO 19:45

[DimmestStar]

This was tight only because of the superior goalkicking of Cas. Rovers scored 5 tries to 3.

Even at 14-0 to Cas I'm scratching my head because by then Rovers have been over the line 3 times and ruled held up.

Second half Rovers were totally dominant kept Cas try less and the only threat from Cas was penalty goals. 

Cas will point to the absence of Watts and Millington and will ignore the that George King left the arena after 15 mins and joined Albert Vete on the sidelines.

Another Jordan Abdull masterclass provided the quality to win the game on the back of an impressive overall performance from Rovers.

One of the most influential half's in SL but also one of the most underrated, if his team follow his lead they will win more than they lose.

I watched him in the GB Academy team that beat the Aussie Schoolboys and you could see then how clever he was, had he been nurtured better in his formative years as a pro we would have a great player now.

Let’s also recognise the solidity Milnes has brought to the halves (and edge defence) in the last few weeks too, enabling Abdul to run the show. Much better balance with this 6 and 7 combination I think

You make a good point...but with the blinding talent that is Mikey Lewis waiting in the wings Rovers can only get better.

Lewis will be our full back, think that’s why he’s gone to York, development of the positional switch. Ford seems positive about his prospects

Thought Hull Kr looked a decent team 

Abdul and Kenny-Dowell run the show.

Trueman and Richardson went missing like usual.

No we won't - we were rubbish, simple as that

 

This Cas fan will point to the offers for Jake Trueman and say "accept now"

Firstly, Castleford were excellent in how they organised everything. I only waited a few minutes to get in despite a long queue, no hassle from stewards, and when I spoke to a few of them they were great so full props to them.

I think this one was a bit of a free hit for us because Castleford have started very well this year. 

First half they hit our right edge, so obviously DP had done his homework. I did think we grew into it as the half progressed despite conceding just before half time.

We really came into our own in the second and 'asked lots of questions' as the old saying goes. Crooks' try was insane and the winner came off the back of a phantom 6 again buzzer that the ref didn't call, so someone must have pressed it by mistake.

It is great to be back in a stadium amongst fans.

We have not won back-to-back away games since 2013 and Sunday at Wakefield provides us with a good opportunity to correct that.

I think we are on the up. Rally round...!!

I got the result right and I had a guess Powell would moan about something, so don't steal my thunder
