Sat 16th Jul: SL: Castleford Tigers v Warrington Wolves KO 15:00 (Sky)

[marklaspalmas]

Which is bigger?

The number of ex Cas at Warrington?

Or the number of ex Hull at Cas?

Powell & Radford are two coaches who've raided their former clubs for recruits.....

The defending for that last try was pathetic, nearly all the Wire side were just standing there watching that kick go through 

My first thought was I hope they've paid to get in.

Not the quality of the kick then?

Yes it was a great kick but the urgency from Wire was non existent 

[snapski]

Exactly the same as Fonua. Either both ball steals or neither is.

…….say we ARE stayin up…..

Just said same.

I don't want to sound like an unapologetic pedant but the video ref only looked at one angle there so he clearly didn't "see all available angles".

Or am I overthinking this!

Yes, there was no need to see any other angle, was there?

I think the VRs are like call handlers, sat with a sheet of A4 in front of them with what to say.

I know.  I think the heat is getting to me.

[snapski]

Williams is a good player, but all this twisting and turning just slows Warrington down. Could just be me but he’s a hindrance to the team doing it. 

[Harry Stottle]

That look on Powell's face to Sheridan seemed to say, "What the #### have we done"

[JohnM]

But today at least, Williams is one of their better players. Huge huge gulf between this low quality game and today's high quality and exciting NRL games.

What they have done is brought their team to its knees.

[Agbrigg]

Powell is a broken man, no way will he pull it around. wire thinking all will be well next year if new players arrive are deluded. They need to sack him now. 

[fieldofclothofgold]

Powell did a good job at Leeds paved the way of what was to come . He did a good bnb job at Fev ,did a great job at Cas they played some great stuff . I wonder what the problem is at Wire 

[Dave T]

Ah well, that enthusiasm was short lived.

Some of his decisions on who to let go and who to bring in do not seem to be the logic of seasoned SuperLeague coach.

Some of the most ridiculous garbage I’ve read on here.

Do no away teams fancy scoring this weekend?

(1) upset all the players 

(2) upset all the fans

(3) won very few games of rugby

(4) coached very badly

(5) numerous other nonsensical things

I didn’t watch the NRL games today, but did State of Origin during the week where I suppose you should expect an uplift in class with that one.

From what I’ve seen this season in Super League:-

St Helens

Wigan

 

 

 

 

 

 

Everyone else

Also what’s up with Jake Mamo?  I enjoy watching him play.

108-0 at the moment to the home teams.
