Pointless swap when they've been opposite way round all previous games. Mcb very exposed defence poor, but bt being there wouldn't have changed the outcome.

What other option where there? No Arundel, Gibson gone.
Someone on sky said that Hadley had played in the centre??? but he was covering hooker for Wood.
So who else can cover a centre position???

Tupou.

I think the point people are trying to make is why swap them around. Have Tupou at centre MCB on the wing.

Not sure it would have saved the game but I have to agree with most posters, it was odd.

Great defense in the middle, right side looked good with one exception when BJB jumped out and let Eden have a free run in, that said if he had intercepted and gone the length of the field I would not have been complaining. As everyone else is saying our left side looked vulnerable against what is the best attack in the league, MCB in the Centre was not great. Miller was not at his best. All that been said I thought our attitude was first class, team spirit looks great , we gave it 100 % no complaints on that score. What a great season. Two weeks off, get some bodies back and give it our best for the last few games.


I'm optimistic for the future, at least on the field.

If you look at where we were in 2015 we've made huge strides.

In some ways we are in a similar position to where Cas were after 18 month of Powell taking over - other than they got a trip to Wembley if I recall.

We also have a young team in some key positions. I think we have more players for whom the best is yet to come.

Fifita, England, Ashurst, Hirst, Miller, Arona, Arundal, Johnstone, Lyne, MCB, Jowitt, Tupou, Batchelor all have yet to peak IMHO.

Randall, who knows, but if he is good then bingo.

Only Kirmond, Huby,Finn and Wood are probably at their peak.

Shame we can't (probably)keep Hadley, you could build a team around that lad.

I do think we need a special signing though. Roberts adds so much class to Castleford. I love Finn and Miller is a live wire but a real magic man like a Solomona, now that would be something.

I do not get this thread are some saying that if MCB had been on the wing the result may have been different ? I think Webster or cas would have scored whichever position we had our players out on the pitch.


Nobody's saying the result would have been different westgate, just that it seemed strange (to say the least) to change a successful lineup at this stage in the season and for such an important game.

I think we need a class signing as well. There's no doubt that we have a team of very good players but there is another step up for so called 'marquee' players. We need one IMO if we are to progress further.

I know you have mentioned Grix and Wood as being key players missing last night, but is there only me that thought we missed Arundel big style if not for his defence let alone his strong running .

Fully agree with Trinity 1315.

With the increase in the cap and extra marquee player, I think for us to consolidate or even go to the next level, another 1-2 quality signings are needed.

Other teams around and below us will be

Been saying it all year martin Arundel is so underrated in both defence & attack we seem more solid when he plays pity chris & john don't see it that way thou.
