Speaking after his team’s 36-24 loss to the Huddersfield Giants, Castleford Tigers coach Lee Radford revealed that the meeting will take place on Wednesday with only one item on the agenda.
An exciting match at John Smith Stadium featured four no-binnings, with two players from each team receiving yellow cards.
Both coaches admitted those decisions had a big influence on the game, which was decided by a Ricky Leutele hat-trick after the Tigers rallied from 18-0 at halftime to lead 24-18 with a quarter left in the game. remaining.
“The influence they’re having on the game is significant,” Radford said of the cards in Saturday’s game.
Referring to an RFL official’s recent comparison between the sport and netball, he added: “If you are neutral I think it will be great to see, but we are promoting guys to roll on the ground when there is any head contact. and if that’s the aspect of the sport and you want to go ahead, we’ll be in netball suits by the time we’re done.”
His counterpart Ian Watson felt the no-binnings were “tough” and insisted the results should not be decided by the number of players left on the pitch.
“You need to win the game the right way,” he said. “We want the players to decide the game; we don’t want the game to be 12v11. Right now we’re getting a lot of no-binnings. We’re talking about the wrong things, we need to talk about the quality being shown, someone like Ricky Leutele showing up and doing what he did at the end of the game to win it.”
