and have i not agreed with u on that 1.the problem u have is when a team loses its supporters always look for a scapegoat which 90% of the time is the ref i have been watching the game long enough now to realise that in some games u get some decisions and in others u dont. dont bother screaming and shouting at refs anymore because he wont change is mind but when u play the bigger teams they seem to get more of the big calls,we all slag refs off look at the probs cas had against catalans with the ref it doesnt work just ask justin morgan,wasnt a bad game considering the conditions but the best team won.

You really are an idiot, aren't you?

Salford couldn’t make any meters from the play of the ball as Cas were constantly offside which means Cas had territorial advantage for most of the game. Cas players kept pushing Salford players over after tackles had been made meaning they were out of the game and extra meters could be made by Cas. As a newly promoted team it was only a mater of time before this started to reap rewards for Cas.

It only happened because the ref was so poor and Cas took full advantage (fair enough). As a paying spectator though I feel cheated that a game has been heavily influenced by the ref and not a superior team or moment of magic.

I don’t mind mistakes being made by the ref as we all make them, but incompetence is not excusable and ruined what could have been a close exciting game.

On the night Castleford deserved to win, having said that Hewer had in my opinion a very poor game, and the two linesmen were even worse.

Smith was only stating what should have been obvious to the referee and that is persistent holding down is usually a yellow card offence and this is what Cas were doing all night.

Towards the end Hewer made the penalty count look better for Salford by using the old ploy of evening things up a bit.

The linesmen/touchjudge's missed many items such as Cas getting head and feed after booting the ball dead amongst other things.

They also missed a blatant obstruction on Sidlow when he was following up a kick through in their dead ball area.

FWIW, my thought's on Friday's match.

1) The better team won. Cas made the most of few chances created by either team and we didn't.

2) Hewer & TJ's were dreadful. Far too many offsides & instances of layng on at the PTB. At least 2 of the penalties (holding down when we made a clean break & flop by Cas player (Chase?) which looked like it involved the forearm should have resulted in yellow cards but Hewer bottled it.

3) Didn't think our pack did enough to get us into the field postion where we could hurt Cas. This made our HB's ineffective as without the forward momentum we struggled to create many decent try scoring opportunities (no poop sherlock!)

4) The abuse Myler got was a disgrace. I had a pop at one of our fans who singled him out. Like I said earlier we had no go forward so Myler & Smith both failed to get into the game. To hurl abuse at Myler (as dozens of fans decided to do) was bang out of order. I hate the whole Myler saga as much as the next fan but some of the stuff on Friday was uncalled for.

5) Stef needs to go back to 6/7 and either Myler or Smith dropped. If Mcrae decides Myler's head is not on it then drop him and play Smith. If not, get Smith on the bench, bring Walton in to the Centre and play Stef & Myler at HB.

6) As mentoned on here the "kick-out" that never was baffled me. If the player purposely kicked the ball out on the full in his own 20m area does that not result in a penalty? Forgive me if I'm wrong but I thought that was the ruling.

All in all, not the greatest game against a well drilled Cas outfit. With a couple of minor tweaks we could have won a game that we really didn't play well in. Hopefully, back to back defeats will galvanise the team to go to the HJ and turn Wire over. After all, we play better against the "MASSIVE" clubs don't we!
