I would amend that post to say 'why is Hicks a referee?'

I need to change my sig then as i like to be realistic.
Tonight was a good exciting game but you still take the opportunity to have a dig at powell/Wane. Cas did not play that poor tonight that we should be arrogant enough to presume we could walk them.
These are two reasons not to trust people.
1. We don't know them.
2. We do know them.

We were streets better than a very off-colour Cas team. But we kept on making mistakes! If we had put together an 80 minute performance, the score would have been like Saints v Huddersfield.
Not disappointed as lots of players did well but why did we stop using the left flank after about 45 minutes? Budgie, Gildart & Farrell had them at their mercy.
Still don't understand why Escare is missing? Didn't Wane claim that this was the magic formula that would work? If Escare started, it would simply be a better team.

why, when was last time i had a dig at powell? I think hes a wholehearted player but not the best halfback

I was wondering if he was playing as I'd missed the teams being called at the start, then bang, he come up with a penalty, looks like he's reverting to type

But it's been a very impressive defensive display, and decent (if not overly exceptional) going forward.

We bullied them.

How Sam and Isa weren't in the MOTM shortlist I have no idea.
Yeah, this.

Is a was defensively at fault for one of their tries in the first half. Sam was my MoM.
