Wish we were :(. At least if we were, we would know we had six years of gradual sugar daddy-backed rise to look forward to!

Crude and slow Whino, your attack was no better than that of a clumsy child.

Bit petty that mate ,the reason Cas fans were celebrating was because thats what we do and the two points were vital in our quest for a top 8 place ,if you look at the league you 'll see that we (cas) are now four points clear of HULL KR in ninth place .,nobody in Cas is expecting to win owt but thats the way we like it .
FWIW I was impressed with the Bulls defence in parts but you did seem to tire easily,Cant believe how big young Tom Burgess is.

Delboy66(aye of the tigers fanzine) :D :D :D :D
Ok I hereby go on record and apologise for my hurtful and insensitive comments about Cas fans over reacting to beating the worse Bulls side in recent history... :)

As an outsider looking in (I'm a Hull fan btw), it seems to me that you all fell for the spin at the start of the year when in reality you had signed some very avarage players.

Hull are no world beaters but when I look at your squad theres probably no more than 4 players that would bring anything to my side. Even them wouldnt be guaranteed a game.

ITs alright blaming Potter but in reality he has very little to work with, I guess he has the chance to prove his quality by getting rid of the deadwood over the next couple of years and building a useful squad. With these players you are going nowhere no matter who is in charge.

I agree with what you say here. I think it's important to remember that Potter was never going to come in and completely transform the team in one season. We signed an absolute shedload of new players this year, many of which were gambles and risks. Some of them have come off (Elima, Royston, Raynor, Ainscough) and some of them have not (Walker, Herbert to an extent) due to injuries and general disruption within the squad.

To say we all 'fell for the spin' is a little harsh imo. Our full strength 17 is really not that bad at all, certainly better than our current league standing would suggest.
Unfortunately we have suffered from major injuries to key players and a severe lack of cohesion and self-belief within the camp as a whole.

Amongst the very average players, I belive Diskin and Elima were above average, and I hoped Hargreaves would prove to be so, although he has disappointed me somewhat.

As another poster said, our strongest 17 is better than our position atm. We still do have some quality players - L'Estrange, Kearney, Elima, Langley. But all of them have spent time out with injury and the players who have come into cover are not good enough in alot of cases. Given we were told the squad now had the depth to deal with this it is a little disappointing.

Although you have to consider us very unlucky as the two players we probably need on the park the most (Kearney & Heath) are the ones who've picked up the longer injuries.

Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.

An interesting story in today's (Thurs) T&A, with Connor Murphy bemoaning the lack of an organising scrum hall who bellows out instructions and generally runs the team.

I think he has a genuine point to be honest. Lynchy, as skipper, doesn't really do any organising and, as has already been said, he's only on the field for half the game anyway. Add in Connor's points that our halves are generally more suited to stand off or backing up than being used as organising scrum halves and it suggests where the problems are and the type of player we need to recruit.

As a criticism of what we have it's a well though out piece of journalism and I'm pretty much prepared to go along with it.
