Which of today’s players gets in that team? You could perhaps make a case for Hurrell or Ava on the bench (but he’s not played enough games for me yet).

All wise after the event. Let's see in 10 years time. I recall people on here questioning the quality and value of the legends before they became legends including Sinny and Rob.

You’re right, hindsight is 20/20 vision. However I’ve seen enough players to know a good one from a bad one, and we’ve had far too many bad ones over the last 2-3 years at least.

100% agree some of em not worthy of cleaning the SS bogs let alone worthy of the shirt.

Don’t forget the whole “Peacock isn’t a prop” and “Sinfield’s too slow for stand off” nonsense.

Don't forget "Diskin doesn't score tries in big matches".

I’d rather that than play in your monstrosity of a stadium, it’s falling to pieces as we speak, it’s a close toss up between yours and Wakefield’s stadium which is by far the worst 2 grounds in super league

But its our monstrosity and its ours to sell when the new one is built.
Please remind us all (not that we need it) as to how you ended up in this situation.
Maybe you won't want to embarrass your club though.

When the new one is bulit? And when will that be exactly? 2060 at this rate, we might of had to sell our stadium because of financial issues but we still play in a better stadium with a better team and win trophies? What have Cas won this century? Oh yeah a dogs dinner bowl

both Cas and Wigan are both great Rugby towns , Wigan probably the most famous Rugby town in the world. All the sport needs them both just for all the great players they produce and its a compliment to us that you come on our board to continue your rivalry

Thanks to you and Kingross11, you both deserve credit for sticking by your club but we have probably chosen the wrong board to discuss it.
Despite all the banter and rivalry I don't think any club would want you to fail mainly because of the away support you bring. However how much longer can you keep posting such big losses as you have no ground to sell this time.
Good luck for the coming season.

Yeah I agree it’s all friendly discussion, and I do agree that we can’t continue to post 500k+ losses every year and there doesn’t seem to be a quick fix, the only viable option would be to expand robin park into a 15000 stadium but that would take time and money. It would work in the long term though
