Good game but don't let the result mislead you in this.

Cas had a dozen first team players not playing and a lot were fringe, fringe players, debutants or people who hadn't played in ages.

Thought Potts took his tries well and a couple of others fronted up well but Cas could, should and with those dozen out, probably would have dispatched Fax much much earlier. Lost count of the number of chances we blew on your line.

W**ker.

Perhaps you would pass on my admiration to the architects and builders involved with your new ground.
They have managed to demolish a sh*t heap and replace it with new a sh*t heap, they even made the surrounding area look like that around your old ground, boarded up pubs, empty houses and litter all over the place, in fact a sh*t heap.
Well done to them and the RFL for making you keep to your promise for 2013.
Your first try, right in front of us was not grounded correctly, Tyrer missed as easy conversion, Finn threw out a fantastic pass, to us. We had half a new team out there and were by far the more entertaining
Both teams made mistakes, yes, you more than us so surely a more sensible comment from you would have been "If we had played better we would have won" but then hey, if your Uncle had tit"s he'd be your Auntie.

Castleford were also forced to wear 30kg lead boots and each player drank a full bottle of Night Nurse two hours before the match.

Re: Cas game boxing day : Thu Dec 26, 2013 8:04 pm  

Our team agreed that it was ok for Tansey not to wear the 30kg lead boots.

Not mentioned Mrs Hudd-Shay for a while!

We looked a lot sharper than last year and considering that's the first time the new look side has taken the field together in anger a good solid display.
Tonks was immense and was on the field for longer periods than at anytime last year.
Divorty looked strong as did Sam Brooke and the new half backs and hookers were much quicker at moving the ball out.
Debut tries for Potts 3, Johnston and Brown.
Early doors yet but not a bad start.

Cas fans complaining? It's been a genetic thing since thatcher waded in and shut the pits down!

We could only play what was in front of us. KH said we were going to win, in that respect we failed.

We took on what was in front of us, went two scores behind yet still got a draw, were we unlucky to concede at the end! Maybe, had tyrer kicked that conversion we'd have won. Both sides made mistakes that led to tries. As a testimonial and first RU. Out for both sides it was a good game.

Must be said though how badly has the jungle delapidated? Sections of the end of the Main stand look to have blown away, home end now sponsored by plywood. We don't visit dumps like that in our league!

Not sure what point you are making. Of course you had players missing but that wasnt our fault, your starting team had lots of SL quality in it and we stood up well against that team until the inevitable changes made by both teams.

Tansey; Owen, Channing, Dixon, Clare; Sneyd, Dorn; Lynch, Clark, Huby, Gilmour, Holmes, Wheeldon.

That is not a bad line up, obviously some players like Tansey wont be playing when the season starts but still not a bad line up. Infact I would say the majority of that team is the one that will be doing battle for you in SL and if that is the case I probably wouldnt be too excited if I were a Cas fan on that showing.

Afraid only four of those will start. Including tansey.

Tansey, Carney, Shenton, webster (if fit) Dixon, Seymour, Ellis, Huby, milner, lynch, hauraki, Millington, massey.

Far more excited at that team thanks

Whatever. It's becoming a bit embarrassing for you playing championship clubs. I hear Loughborough University are looking for a game.

How excited are you at getting soaked through when it rains and having ancient chunks of wood and metal landing on your head?

Re: Cas game boxing day : Thu Dec 26, 2013 11:24 pm  

Getting soaked through is part and parcel of rugby league. I should be safe from falling objects in the railway end thanks. True maybe we should play championship 1 sides like wigan?
