I know we’re missing one of our regular halves, but that’s a very poor outcome for a game we dominated in every aspect (bar the scoreboard).
Yeah we should have won that game four times over some players are carrying at least 3 or 4 starters

If the usual suspects are in the the squad for Sunday thats me done...time to re think DP with this team and attitudes we are going nowhere fast...GF you are taking the Cas public for idiots....average to say the least creativity have yet to see any...how on earth we think Matautia is a half back I shudder to think....
We struggle against a depleted Wire what on earth do we do in training (sic) when a shot to pieces Wakey can create better opportunities than us says it all.

MrRugby123 wrote: 10 Sep 2020, 22:35 Our back line is the worst in super league, I’ve never seen our backs make a line break at all this season. Alex foster ain’t the answer at centre and peter ain’t the answer at 6. Moors,Eden, shenton and Milner absolutely anonymous. If there isn’t players back for Sunday we will lose again to an even worse Hull fc.

Full back apart our wingers and centres are bang average. Olpherts ain't ever far away from a glaring error,same with eden. As you said foster is an ineffective centre. Shenton probably is just about alright but very much twilight years. Clare tries hard but ain't a top notch winger.

Frustrating big money earners like Blair and feki are awol and we arent as good without Trueman but apparently we were full strength tonight !

Likewise. Thought he looked like he could make a difference when he came on, only for him to go off pretty quickly.

At least one amusing moment was one of the sky numpties at half time saying he had played outstanding wtf
Second half he was well il not say sooner he's gone the better

As good as macca and richardson were last week they were both honking tonight

Our kicking game must be the worst in the league. So many 7 tackle sets, didnt apply pressure at all in the 2nd half. Drilled for touch last 15 mins against a side running in empty with 10 missing. I appreciate not over playing but contest a kick like they did ALL night on eden's side

Yeah. i did not understand why they would bring off the biggest heart on the field. Our last ditch attack looks unprepared, which is down to the back team. A lot of questions need to be answered.

I have to say that is completely gutting is that one. Effort and endeavour faultless. Forwards layed a great platform but our final pass or decision making is terrible. I’m sure it’s a mental thing. I would love to know stats on how many times we get scored against on hooter at both half time and full time. We are mentally weak when it really matters it seems. Disappointed maccas running game went missing again as well. I refuse to bag individual players after that because everyone of them gave it all. Just not good enough it would seem. Think we need to get a shrink in to see them to toughen them up mentally and give them some belief. I also think the St Helens hoodoo is playing a massive part in it as well as a side note.

Totally lacking killer instinct and x factor in either pace or ball skills. A bit of grit did show in that performance. Put in a shift enough to give us a sniff but had no clinical edge. Some of the last tackle plays were appalling and they swung momentum until eventually [REMOVED] poor defensive line reads from Mcmeeken and Foster lost the game.
A full strength Wire would have won more comfortably I'm afraid.
Feel for Wattsy and Mcshane along with a few others. So much average in that squad.

4 points from a possible 16 against the top 4 this year. We arent even close.

What are these points you speak of?
I suspect you mean we have a 25% win percentage.

Think Cas have had the bad end of the stick with fixtures but if the coach is putting players in the side each week who are shocking he needs to take some blame. I'm having a wip round for a plane ticket for McMeekan. Any one want to contribute ?

DP looked as shell shocked and disappointed at the end as I've ever seen him - in comparison to some of the players who seemed to find it a bit too easy to raise a smile whilst still on the pitch at the end. Regardless of the different standard, if I had played in any game like that and lost in that manner, I would have been filthy for an hour afterwards.

Maybe individual errors and losing are both just a bit too acceptable at our club.

Yes but least they are all one big happy family and fit in with Powells idea of what personality he likes his players to have. Get Hardaker back he might be a prat off the field BUT HES A BLOODY GOOD RUGBY PLAYER.

First post for me on here and, although I'm a Saints fan, Cas have always been my 'second' team. I've come to the conclusion the officials subconsciously favour the bigger teams. You're all picking faults with your team but, to put it all in perspective, Richardson scored a perfectly valid try and Olpherts was the only player ever going to reach the ball when obstructed, so that's another 6 point penalty try. At 18 - 6 no way are Wire taking part for the last 15 mins and you probably increase the winning margin. Totally robbed I'd conclude!

I want to feel sorry for DP, he's not the one dropping balls, missing tackles and generally not being arsed. But then, he's the one who keeps choosing the likes of McMeekan etc and its hard to have sympathy for him.
