Come Back Benny Roberts all is forgiven.....

Post by the happy hooker9 » 20 Jul 2018, 22:18

After that wonderful display of classic creative off half display by that man of sublime exquisite ball skills Jamie Ellis I can only plead for the quick return of our current sick note half back. Surely a half fit crocked Benny can perform better than 3 year contract Ellis. I've seen some rubbish half backs at Cas in my 40 years supporting them, viz Ronnie Sigsworth, but Jesus H Ellis tonight takes the crown

Best part was he was rollicking other players throughout the game. Dreadful.

Aye. On sevetal occasions he threw a shocking ball and then began berating others. Showed tonihht he is a squad player. Not our go to man. Tbf plenty of others were poor.

Never good to pick out one player in such a poor team performance but ellis has to take this on the chin. He was absolutely rubbish. Predictable, pedestrian and pathetic. Out of all the games I’ve seen without gale - this was the one where you could see a complete lack of leadership and direction. There a quite a few more that aren’t far behind ellis’s Shambolic performance.

He was poor but how about our left edge? Top try scorer last year looked like he was upset over not being full back and didn't want to play. As for his centre and our CAPTAIN he was pathetic in every aspect.

How bad must Aston be for Ellis to keep him out of the team.

Ellis is copy the backlash but 1-17 were poor tonight lack of enthusiasm call it what you want we were beaten by the better team a team who wanted it more than cas did.. it’s so frustrating being a cas fan ..as for Benny Roberts can somebody who’s a stats person tell me in the time he’s been here how many games per season he’s actually played b like to bet he’s spent more time off the field than on it and when he’s playing he often goes missing in games or weathers to cold .. what good is that to us .. time to get rid in my opinion

Thks.. seems an awful lot to say he’s only played a handful this season.. so your saying in the first two seasons he did nearly full season without injuries?? Very surprised if that’s correct

Search it out if you want but I was one of plenty on here that derided the Ellis signing only to be shot down. Sorry but the bloke is utter tripe and i’ve been proved correct tine and time again. He’s not even squad filler level. Pay him off and look elsewhere for back up and go get a true first choice 6 to play with Gale.

Imagine low balling Tom Holmes then giving a 3 year contract to a player you already got rid of once because he wasn't good enough :lol:

We didn't make the right signings for this season now were in need of three or four good signings in the backs just to hold our position next year

Come on guys let’s keep perspective.when was last time we didn’t react to a defeat.DP will be pushing for a big performance next week then it’s a weeks rest then super 8s.were in a cracking position considering the obstacles that’s been thrown infront of us.plus we get gale back for the big push for second place.dissapointing tonight and lost to better team on the night.glad they’ve now made the 8 so we can give them a good towelling in the play offs.

Think the worst think apart from the game losing 3 players for a decent strench going in to the 8s is defo not ideal.

Clare was probably our best back tonight, not that he actually did much

Ellis could have had 3/4 tries if he'd dived over the line instead of passing with his eyes shut

after being booed because of dummying you could tell he didn't want to do it again incase he was tackled and booed again I think our own fans cast doubt in his mind.
