Swings and roundabouts. Nobody complained when the Wire player dropped the ball and threw his hands in he air for a (given) penalty.

watch it again you`ll see those decisions were correct....again the better team won deal with it

Did he really? You shouldn't believe everything you hear, especially when it comes out of Eddie Hemmings mouth.

Goldy as passionate as he is needs to keep his gob shout abusing officials..swearing at them? It aint captain material. Im 1 of Goldys biggest fans...but seriously Grit your teeth.. challenge the ref in the correct manner, go to your team mates and discuss the decision and lead by example in the next part of play. Im not saying it cost us the game.. but if our captain is getting sin binned what leadership is out there?

i would agree with all that mate, that is spot on. chase should be left alone to do his own job. fantastic player. big future. too big for matterson. mcgoldrick is his own worst enemy. just when cas is under the cosh and needs a captain to steady the ship, he spits his dummy out and lets everybody down. as for thaler , i think he had a good game, went to the video for any thing contentious. can't see as he did much wrong.

As to the last point, it's called a 'charge down' and is perfectly legal - play on. Refs make mistakes in all games - God knows we've had plenty this year - so you have to play on regardless. Wire were the better team overall, apart from the first twenty minutes, and deserved to win.

also less than 6200 there thought you lot had more fans than that

Other things were possibly going on.

there might have been 500 from warrington, so make of that what you will

Thats being generous aswell!!!



Id have said 300 tops

overall it was not a classic match, cas were not great, neither was warrington, but ben thaler was a disgrace to the game. he let far too much go over the 80 minutes and far too much went in warringtons favour. they did not have to try hard because he made it easy for them, made sure that cas did not get further on top after going 8 nil up. the way thaler went about it there was only going to be one winner and it was not going to be cas. what took place in the last 10 minutes proved it, trailing by 16 points, down to twelve men, we suddenly get 5 penalties on the bounce. the man was a joke.

just one of your clan came on our board claiming my estimation of 6200 was an insult and that you have more fans than that...the reason for our small away following might have something to do with us going over to barcelona in 2 weeks and the game being live ontv...just a thought

We have about 7000 hard core fans, no idea where 2000 of them were last night. Very disappointed with our turn out, more disappointed with the wire turn out.

Looks to me saturday night on tv is a no no for the fans, to easy to sit in a pub with a pint and watch the game from there.

I wonder what it'll be for the Catalans game in 20 days as that's on a Saturday as well.

I dread to think.

If the weather is good it should hopefully be better. I think the chance of rain and it been on sky put a few people off.

Why are you more disappointed with our turn out? Surely if you have 2k fans missing you should be more worried and disappointed by them?



We can all quote reasons (plenty of away games recently, Barcelona etc.) but I think your last line pretty much hits the nail on the head. In the current financial climate it is far easier to stay at home watching it on Sky, that's what I did. Nowadays it isn't as easy to justify match tickets and high fuel costs to travel to away games when the game is live on TV.

Because i remember seasons gone by when the railway end was packed with you lot and the drummer boy making some right noise.

I thought wire had a good amount of travelling fans, maybe the finacial climate is affecting us all.

Don't get me wrong, the Wire following was piriful by all accounts, but away support seems to be don all round at the moment.



The big challenge for clubs at the moment is to keep their home support.



Just thought as well actually, around 3,500 Wire fans this week have been out and bought tickets for a match that wont be used for 8 weeks (the semi final - sorry, not trying to rub it in!), so maybe many just couldn't justify doubling their spend on RL this week. Hopefully it was this rather than a lack of interest.

Think a few things made this attendance a poor 1. Both teams just played in a QF, wire fans just been out and bought thier SF tickets, the expensive trip to scotland wasnt that long ago and with the fianancial meltdown affecting most of us, people losing thier jobs, people strugling to find thier jobs, and yeah before the wakie trolls come along thats effects more than just people in cas. all this and the game was on sky to top it off.

Even tho IMO this was Cas' and Wires' biggest SL of the season due to the table postioning, but the money cost is starting to take a bite.

Disapionting crowd but for some it might be pay the rent, get some shopping and watch it on TV or goto the game, doesnt make them bad fans or socalled airchair fans, just some are struggling.



ar well thats mine 2 pennys worth....and yeah before wakie trolls come....my last 2 pennys

there was 5 coaches full plus cars i'd say about 300 disappointing support for us (wire)but as dave t says we had a semi to shell out for plus barca in 12 days time plus the weather and on t.v. i think all these factors contributed to the poor show for us

Granted the Wire turnout was pathetic, but ours was worse. I fear yet another false dawn at Cas. Do we ask too much wanting a competitive team

Top 6 and we get the missing 2000 back overnight so we need to turn it around, simple as that-----not that easy though

First 2 points spot on, but for the 3rd, what can I say





Goldy is a classy centre who has found himself mainly at fullback, joining the line on virtually every occasion, basically doing too much





He is no captain, and as I said after last week he is too one paced in the attacking line. As a team we need to change the pace of our attack, not much chance of that happening when Goldy directs so much of it.



Sarg for captain as far as i'm concerned, gets stuck in, gets bashed about, and doesn't lose his rag--good temperament, and currently our best import along with Rangi, by a country mile

At the moment McGoldrick is the most experienced player that will be on the pitch for the full 80 minutes(at least in theory) so it makes sense that he would be captain.

surely the captin is the guy thats goin to lead by example, encourage and gee the team up wen the goin gets tough, not spit his dummy out and put his team mates under even more pressure by getting binned??

when raz is out i dont no who that man is tbh
