Carlos didn't really seem to be interfering with the player catching the ball. I do wonder how you are supposed to score from those occasionally and I understand why usually teams won't contest the ball and just hammer the catching player, there seem to be a thousand things stopping you scoring.
Yeah these things can be marginal, although in fairness having Carlos right on top of him could easily have contributed to the Cas player fumbling the catch.

I thought Abdul showed some good touches on the last 20, but boy does he need to get fit, his effort on Dorn was terrible, although there were plenty of others whose tacking was poor.
Abdull's tackling is actually pretty solid - when he reaches the player. Far too often he just gets run around or straight past as he has the turning circle of an oil tanker and no acceleration.

He might next week after tonight, which is fair enough. Think people forget, thompson is still only 24, playing along side the best 2nd rowers in super league, he can only get better imo
Don't agree, good first season, OK the last two seasons with the odd performance, quick feet which had worked the odd time near the line, but weak when coming out of own half, missing too many tackles and his handling is poor.

Needs to lose some weight then this wouldn't happen. Great talent but potential to throw it all away if he doesn't sort out his weight.
regarding abdull he was blowing out his arris after 10 min but to be fair to the kid he had a good second half , if he could just get fit he might be a good player, all across the board we where poor, I half expected it and to be fair it must have taken a lot of juice out of the tank last week, defo think Hadley derserves a run out and offers more than Thompson atm, and think taylor could do with a rest if watts is fit, big game against widnes coming up and on the flip side we still top of the league
once a black and white always a black and white COYH
Cas fan here, think fatigue after the semi must have come into it but I was a bit surprised how easily we seemed to keep your forwards quiet. I am one of Sneyds biggest fans but I was surprised how negative his kicking game was at the start of the 2nd half. It was as if you were 20 points up and he was trying to close the game out rather than trying attacking kicks. Finally do you have any alternative to Yeamo? the only time he looks interested now is if he has a chance of scoring.

Well it didn't enhance my matchday experience. Is there really any need to have adverts flashing around the perimeter of the ground while the game is being played? It made the game difficult to watch, not a bad thing you might say, but if this is progress then Mr Allam knows where he can stick it.

Is Hodgson the new Griffin, or is it all about pace?
Jordan Abdul is basically a poor man's jamie ellis and that is not good in any way shape or form. Also, Jordan thompson, weak link. That said , good luck for the rest of the season and Wembley.
