26-20 home loss<\/a> to the Warriors.<\/p>\nMcGuire, 42, was annoyed by an unpunished challenge on Alex Mellor which left the Tigers skipper needing strapping to his knee.<\/p>\n
To add to his ire, Cas had a 63rd-minute try ruled out for a knock forward when leading 16-12, and moments later, a Tigers turnover of possession on halfway was overturned by a successful captain’s challenge.<\/p>\n
“Some of the decisions tonight were pathetic,” McGuire told BBC Radio Leeds.<\/p>\n
“The standard of officiating and some of the stuff that’s going on, it’s getting worse.<\/p>\n
“Bring back some of the older guys, like (Richard) Silverwood, (Steve) Ganson and (Russell) Smith and people like that. At least they had some guts about them.”<\/p>\n
He added: “Some of the calls were horrific and it’s been consistent for us this year. We don’t get the calls.<\/p>\n
“Sometimes that’s because you’re not a dominant team, so we do get some tough calls.”<\/p>\n
The eight-time Super League winner said he was “not bothered” by the potential of disciplinary action over his post-match comments.<\/p>\n
“I don’t care if they fine me, I’ll pay them back a pound a week, but it’s just not good enough and it’s consistently not good enough,” he said.<\/p>\n
“You ask questions and they just fob you off with pointless answers, so it’s a waste of time investing any energy in asking questions about calls because they just fob you off.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Castleford Tigers head coach Danny McGuire believes his side were on the wrong end of “pathetic” and “horrific”…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":224199,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4102],"tags":[4151,79,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-224198","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-rugby","8":"tag-rugby","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114767140269916324","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/224198","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=224198"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/224198\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/224199"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=224198"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=224198"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=224198"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
