Somebody tell me what the point was having a player on the bench to play last 4mins when the game was over.

The players are [CUT OUT THE SWEARING - USING ASTERISK IS STILL NOT ALLOWED] cos we can't rest anybody having 10 players out.

However I'd prefer we played Boyle at least he's a seasoned pro.

Powell decisions recently baffle me, I think he has lost the plot and I'm bored with the [REMOVED] were producing to be honest

By the way it's not the lads fault he got 4mins.

Even the new signings aren't fit to play

You must be joking.

I agree it's pointless bringing someone on for 4 minutes however in those 4 minutes he showed more potential than Maher has so far and a hell of a lot more potential than Boyle has and will ever have!!!

I agree.

As with the other signings, Tickle reeks of desperation.

I think the point being made is if he get picked to play then play him. I thought we was going to loose the game at the end because we would be tired. If hed have been given two spells of say 10 mins then we could have given a forward the extra rest.

That is what I just said. However the original poster did say they'd rather have played Boyle!

No. What's point to in playing with 15 player's for 75 mins and against saints.

At least Boyle would have played more than 4mins.

If you have 10 player's out and think you can't win with 15 player's God f**king help us, we might aswell give up on top 8 now.

I personally think boyle has done well in his lasr 3 or 4 games for us. Been better then massey. Fitzsimmons will have wanted to play longer that 4 mins, imo it was a bad call by powell. He put springer on at the end, he gave away a crucial penalty they scored straight after then he took him off. If your going to pick him at least let him play a proper part in the game

fords has some valid points but needs to cut out the beeping & jeffing he is doing.

He will be a good player for us in the next couple of years when he matures and bulks up, but he is not ready for super league yet. Yesterday it was a wasted bench spot, as Powell clearly had no confidence to bring him on until the game was over.
Of more concern to me is Maher, who only seems to be able to 10 minutes, before he is replaced. Yesterday was a good example, as Lynch was only able to have 10 mins on the bench, before coming back on to replace Maher,then he gets injured, with fatigue possibly a contributory factor.

It says a lot to me that a young 17 year old was originally picked ahead of Will Maher anyway and he only got a spot on the bench to Websters injury. DP clearly not happy with his progress at the moment.

Sorry, frustrations being a Cas fan I guess.

Just baffles me why take on a fully fit Saints side with 15 players, what was the thinking behind that. Give the guys more than 4mins game time. The rest are out on there feet and we sit guys on the bench for 75mins

To be fair Powell probably wasn't expecting Jake to disappear back down the tunnel 10 minutes before kick off

I thought Boyle was out on dual reg not injured
