Vastman surely has never been needed anywhere! Kear could be the coach of the year, exactley what you would expect from a cas lad, if only wakey could produce such quality coaches

To get to that point we all want, the club has to improve year on year. You don't just expect us to go from being rock bottom one year to be challenging for honours. We've already surpassed the points we got last season and it shows we've improved - which is all we can ask for at the moment. We can still find faults in a lot of things - but we're not as willing to throw a hissy fit every time we lose because it's a hell of a lot better than the state we were in last year and the year before that. I think this is a case of some peoples expectations being too high.

Its easy to say we've improved but realistically there are quite a few teams in a period of transition this year and a few under performing.

We've got some quality in the team and have a golden opportunity this season with teams like Wire, Bulls and Goons having an indifferent form.

Any thought on this

Got to agree with a lot of that 1+1. I am of the opinion that too many cas fans on here are happy to accept the odd wins against the so called top teams while we're losing to sh*te clubs that shouldn't be in our league. I listen to comments on here like the top players aren't interested in signing for teams like Cas

It really does stick in my throat hearing stuff like that. If, (and I believe its a very big if), we do start challenging for honours again, I for one, will still have the odd question about tactics, players out of position, etc etc.

And of course if this is done in a new stadium with a team full of british talent, i'll be delighted, and give a big thumbs up to RW and the coach-whoever it may be

It's attitudes like this within the 'whinging brigade' , that give the 'rose tinted brigade' plenty of ammunition to fire.

One off statements with no substance or reasoning to them. Why should Castleford have a right to beat any other team in Super League ? Do we have a better coach than them ? Do we have better players ? Do we have more fans ? I will be very interested to hear your comments.

As for challenging for honours, can you also remind me the last time we were challenging to win the league please ? We can throw in a few Challenge Cup finals and Regal Trophies, but I must have slept through the years when we went through a period of time when we had a team that were consistently 'challenging for honours'.

I think there's a misconception that the 'RTB' brigade accept mediocrity. We would love to win every week. But only St Helens supporters have this 'right' .I think the difference between the two types of fans we have, is that the 'RTB' s can see the big picture and are far more realistic. We can remember what our expectations were a mere 5 / 6 months ago.

There's nothing wrong with criticism, as long as its constructive. From what I read on here, the 'rose tinted brigade' are far more adept at discussing an issue, rather than becoming defensive and claiming that it's 'supposed to be a forum' and claiming they can't have their say.

Would you not say we are in a transition period considering the past few seasons? Some teams will always underperform, so that really isnt that relevent to us.

We really do have some quality in the team but we have little depth and injuries to key personel, this is only to be expected the year after our promotion season.

We have improved massivley since last year and i think we will again next year. After that we can start think about getting to old trafford.

well said poker face............i can only see great things from CTRLFC in the future, build on this year next season and after that the world could easily be our oyster....
