If cas had the same level of support from the local council that salford have had we would also be sitting in a shiny new stadium unfortunately we don't.

Our chairman has not supported the objectors to newmarket he was sent a letter asking questions and answered them with information that was already in the public domain (whether he was right to or not is another matter, and one best left, so you don't have wakey and cas fans arguing on here).

Whilst milward wasn't my first choice it is a bit unfair to compare him to vieviers when talking about being sacked from a head coaches job as vievers hasn't been a head coach in sl, apart from on a temporary basis, before being replaced.

Looking forward to watching the game on the telly, gutted i cant be there, good luck for the season.

As per matty smith his talk is awsome. Combined with his quick turn of pace and new found attack how anyone can consider Vinnie or Neal in the second row over this bloke is beyond me. I think you need to watch the game a little closer if you think they deserve a place before Adamson. I think you need to watch the game a lot closer to have Adamson in the squad.

In the 2 friendlies i witnessed this pre-season Anderson was the stand out 2nd rower did Adamson play against Leigh and Halifax i can't remember if he played he was that noticeable. Adamson is predictable, hardly seen him look to offload, hardly seen him bust tackles, hardly seen any evasive footwork skills, never seen him spin out of the tackle trying to evade being tackled, I'm afraid a top club would of snapped him up by now if he was Great as you're making him out to be just like O'connor, Myler, Turner and Ratchford. Again you talk utter bollox........

Re: team to play Cas : Mon Jan 30, 2012 9:44 pm  

Adamson is a must start, best sedond rower we have, certainly the most skilfull with the ball in hand, killer off load and brilliant footwork.

Just glad that there's know one daft enough to suggest that Anderson should get a starting berth ahead of him.

Re: team to play Cas : Mon Jan 30, 2012 11:25 pm  

Adamson best second row we have? your joking right? he is a good solid defender yes he ran over a few wigan forwards last tuesday but thats the 1st time in about 3 years he has done anything in attack, he usually takes the 1st ball in a set of six laying a platform and for me he is a "ball killer" (ie when he gets the ball in his hands he just takes a tackle

as for having a killer offload last seasons offloads

Adamson 6
Sidlow 33
Neal 19
Anderson 38
Nero 16

Im hoping with PV and SL incharge he will find some form when he 1st started at salford

I would prefer if he came on as sub with Feka so he could do feka's defending and Feka could do his attacking if you know what i mean

For once, I actually agree with you...

I do think he does have a better attacking game in him though, just needs the right coaching. This is going back a couple of seasons, but I remember the Challenge Cup game when we beat Hull at their place a couple of seasons ago. He seemed unstoppable going forward, spinning out of and busting through tackles - probably the best game I can remember seeing him in.

In recent seasons he's seemed too focused on ball security. Turns himself backwards into the tacklers to avoid losing the ball and just doesn't seem to run it in hard at all. Definitely think he's capable of more though.

I'm with MR on this one, Adamson is starting to remind me of a young SBW. Fearsome in defence, strong running and a great pair of hands.

As for the Cas match, I'm really looking forward to what we can do against a team whose pack shouldn't smash us all over the park. There were some promising signs in the Wigan game and I'm convinced that. Given enough ball, Jodie & Danny will score for fun this season.

Re: team to play Cas : Tue Jan 31, 2012 9:48 am  

Prior to the arrival of SMc Luke Adamson looked to have the makings of a top class forward. Unfortunately like a lot of the young promising younger players we have their attacking instincts were coached out of them, and the safety first one man dire rugby we had to endure for over three seasons was inflicted on us.
I hope with better coaching we see the true potential of a number of our players.

Re: team to play Cas : Tue Jan 31, 2012 12:25 pm  

Some of you people on here are really starting to show how inept you rugby league knowledge really is! Saying Adamson has great foot work and great off load?!?!? (Points and laugh at this person) Also comparing Adamson to Sonny Bill Williams, well I'll treat that comment with the content it deserves....

crack me up you lot on here, what next Feka for man of steel?!?! hahahahahahahahaha
