Leigh

Apart from the first 4 minutes, we have been rubbish.

It’s a good job they have bombed 2 or 3 tries, or they would have been out of sight by now.

It wasn’t a great watch either way, they took chances better.

I constantly have the feeling we’re really lightweight in the forwards, that hampers everything.

That was a 5/10 to be fair.

mdean Can’t disagree with any of that, Westy covering all positions at the expense of his own, Watts not the force he was,Muzzy appears to decelerate when he gets to the defensive line,Namo looks ok but can’t do the minutes and then we’re looking at Griffin,Hindmarsh and Kibula,hardly inspiring. Second row for me could be better but is decent enough. We missed Horne who would certainly have given Ipape more to think about,so yup two props,a right centre and a half back please.

As above really. Have wood back at left centre cures that side. And a decent centre in the other side cures that.

In truth it’s injuries that have led to this. Tate, simms, hodson missing to compete at centre.

Griffin was great last week but injured this.

I thought hindmarsh was bigger than that (not in the belly area!) but taller and squarer. He looked the same height as muzzy.

The forwards need to take a page out of the backs book with their hit ups. Run hard and fast. Stop jogging to the line, stop turning before you get there, run like your trying to get through. It’s pretty simple stuff.

You’re right it is relatively simple stuff.
We need props who can poke their nose through the defence and half backs who back up, looking for the off-load.
Trouble is, apart from Joe Westerman we don’t have any ball playing forwards who can get their hands free to off-load in the tackle
Oh for a Grant Millington!!!!

The three wins have given us a false sense of our abilities
We have injuries in all departments and players not in familiar roles
I didnt expect to beat Leigh when i saw the teamsheet but in contrast to the start of the season we didnt throw the towel in
One big prop and a decent 7 would do me for next season but we have to be realistic, who is going to come to Cas until our future in SL is confirmed?
From what I am hearing we will be soon competing for the 1895 cup or whatever that tin pot is called these days.
A legal challenge is already being drawn up by two or three clubs in similar points position to us.
The RFL could end the uncertainty by announcing a 14 team SL immediately
Dark days ahead for RL and possibly for the Tigers I fear

pirate As do I,and it’s frankly ridiculous that the make up Super League for next season could end up being decided not by on field performance or IMG’s albeit flawed criteria but in the courts.
