If I were Shaun Wane, I'd procure 19 sick certificates tomorrow and play the Academy team. What is going on at Castleford would attract the anti-corruption authorities if this were any other sport. Obviously the bad blood between Powell and Wane may be behind this but this is a travesty.

So it was OK for us to rest players in SL from early July in 2013 until the play offs. We played best side in cc games though.

Cas is doing nothing wrong. They are doing what we have done in the past. Good luck to them.

Correct.
We've been poor all season and now's not the time to grow a chip on the shoulder!

We can easily beat Wakefield 91-0 with that squad and make the 4????

Last Sunday said it all for me. No effort at all for 60 minutes. I would tell all of these so called world class players to take an early holiday and play the Under 19's against Wakey. If those so called class players don't like it, tell them to p**s off.

There is merit to what you say so much for the ‘big guns’we keep hearing about last Sunday was an utter disgrace

Hang on a minute I would expect us to rest players under the same circumstances. Cas have done nothing wrong. THE PLAIN FACTS ARE WE HAVE BEEN DIRE THIS SEASON AND FINISHED HIGHER THAN WE DESERVE. For gods sake stop blaming other teams for our shortfalls.

Don't be soft! Do you know how many times Shaun Edwards played the week before Wembley?

We don't deserve to be in the Top 4 and we deserved all we got from this season, which was nothing. Had we played Castleford again with a full team, we would likely have lost. That should dispose of 'the chip on the shoulder' comments. There's something more important at stake.
It's what happened out there on that pitch that was an embarrassment to the game of Rugby League. When Castleford stirred themselves at the start of the second half they took Hull apart and then they simply stopped playing.
I watch Rugby League because it is always a great contest between teams. Sometimes you win and sometimes you don't. What occurred tonight was not a contest and why would anyone bother to come back and pay to see a farce like that.
