Where did anyone say that a new coach will be in this week? If it’s an Aussie it may well not be this season.

I’d expect that the man will be in place not long after the announcement which is expected to be weds or Thurs. can’t see why we’d wait much longer

depends if a work permit is needed

Let's hope they don't have to go to Rwanda to get one!

What if it’s say Carr or Ciraldo, who both would need work permits, releases from their current clubs and work permits. If it’s an Aussie, I don’t see them being here for 6 weeks at least.

From JJBs "reading between the lines no" response to the question "Do you expect to be in charge on Friday?" I'd say an announcement will be this week...

Thought Simpson and Sinfield did ok with Gannon the pick of the 3.
I didn`t think Dwyer did too bad either and Leeming looks better in the halves than at hooker.
Bentley needs to come up with a better way to have a go instead of blatantly smacking a player in front of the ref.
Expect 3 games out.
Tetavano was average at best.
Briscoe and Sutcliffe a waste of space.
Whilst we only lost by 2 I feel Cas must have played one of their worse games all season.

Positives
I think that was our most spirited performance since round 1, our heads didn’t go down and we didn’t stop trying until the final whistle.
Defence.
Oledzki.
Gannon.

Negatives
We still lost.
Attack.

Re: RD 9 | Castleford Tigers (A) : Mon Apr 18, 2022 8:22 pm  

Decent effort, but still not enough.
Cas were dreadful, but still never really looked like losing.
I just don't see where a win is coming from.

Gannon, Martin, Handley and Oledski excellent.
Sinfield had a shaky start, but grew into the game, and his kicking game is a real asset.
Simpson didn't do a huge amount, but didn't let anyone down. Looks a strong lad.

Sutcliffe, Briscoe, Thompson, Mellor, Dwyer and Tetevano really are a joke.
I know we say it every week, but Dwyer's passing is absolutely laughable.
Bentley at least looks like he cares, but he's a total liability.
And again, totally clueless in attack. No shape, no organisation, no plan, no threat.
Sean Long - WTAF?!?!

Needless to say that next week is absolutely massive.
And I'm not sure we can name a full squad.
Dark days indeed.

Frustrating to see go close in a game that on paper we should of lost by twenty, but still come up short. Both Sinfield and Simpson suicidaly young to be playing, however they did fine. Really liked the way young Jack ran at the line, but sometimes the quality of Dwyers passing leaves no choice. He really has got to be out the door this year. Ruins every half back he plays with.
