Cas took a bashing, so one or two on here won't be too pleased.

Probably Rhinos turn for a bashing next week.
Went down to 12 men in the first half, was going to be difficult anyway but made impossible after that.

As I said earlier in the thread, another long hard season ahead. Big game next weekend against Salford.

I’ve been following their season ticket campaign Swannie, they’ve done brilliantly from a sales point of view.

Going to be some atmosphere there at some games.

Absolutely devoid of ideas in the halves, worrying start. Yet to be convinced by Rohan. His team this year, he needs to deliver but I fear we will be as inconsistent as last season.

Yes, amazing ticket sales. I saw the new stand for the first time in December, its lovely. I think they are now on the right track after years of awful ownership. I'm looking fwd to them actually winning some games.
I'm hoping to go and watch them...

Will somebody do me a massive favour please? Will they let me know when these ridiculous new head injury rules have been scrapped? I’m all for player safety, but will somebody please explain how a blatant spear tackle goes unpunished, yet a player gets sent off because his opponent falls into him and the head collides with the shoulder?

It wouldn’t have anything to do with the fact that the spear tackler has an important game coming up this weekend, would it?

Whilst I’m in whinging mode, who on earth at rugby league headquarters thought it would be a good idea to send the newly promoted club to play at St Helens for their opening game of the season?

Way to go RFL.

Thats what I thought, baptism of fire or what, getting 40 put past you on your'e return to the super league must be demoralising, maybe the RFL thought a big win for saints will give them a boost.

Maybe, for a Flakey fan , but I don't see the prospect of many laughs on our horizon :flog:

For you maybe Swannie 😁.

Going to be very tough, banking on Salford and London being worse than us.

Sure will OB.

I watched a bit of their game and they looked half decent against Leeds, going to be a tough game but I think they all will be for us this season.

Hull KR v Rhinos tonight.

Could be the first battering of the season for the Rhinos.

I'm out tonight, so I'll miss it.

The bookies are giving the Rhinos 6pts, relatively small amount.

I’d go with a KR win, but not sure it will be a battering.
