Yeh we haven`t won the GF that many times... no really


Just you worry about your own team hey.

I don't think the result was as much of a shock as some of the media is stating.
Cas in very poor form and some in camp trouble against a Barrow side generally in the habit of winning.

i hope this comment is true bout the club being dead

yeah and my dads the hardest in England ...

Mutley, dont bite, you know better

Actually I didn't think they were trolling, but instead being quite constructive. Why do you always assume that any Wakey fan posting on here is a troll?

Let's get back on topic please.

[iThese sort of results happen in the RL Cup.

It's history now and you should all be getting ready for the visit of the Salford City Reds at the weekend.

Both clubs are very much hot and cold this season and I think this game will be a cracker and may the best team win on the day.[/i

SEE YOU ALL ON SUNDAY....

gosh someone from Wakefield that knows there own dad !

That's not nice.

Yea unlike you lot, never mind your mum may tell you one Day.....

Anyway...Back on topic



The result was no great shock, Barrow won the N.L1 grand final last season and were always going to give us a game regardless of how we were playing at the moment.

The only comfort i can take from sunday is that (i hope) big changes will be made at the club.

Maybe you should have stayed relegated, you certainly ain't SL standard

Welcome to 2003!

5 grand finals, 4 titles, 2 WCC and 2 LLS's later i don't think anyone would refer to leeds as underachievers these days.

That would be Warrington

We could always cheat are way out of this! get a new coach and team like others have done and just lose the 2 points

nothing consructive to say then go away troll

We're as SL standard as you've been for the last few years, but for the presence of a few more morals and a bit less cash.

You really need to try harder with your trolling because that was a pathetic attempt.

got a reaction out of you and the other dummy didn't it

job complete

Time to jog on and do your homework then.

Ignore him Bonzo

It sounds on this post like most of the Cas fans on here have thrown the towl in.

What happened to the saying “Castleford till I die”?

As a neutral watching this game, I have to say it was a great match to watch.


Barrow turned up, for this game, so up for it and confident.
They are also an extremely well drilled team and showed their intent crossing
the line in the first few minutes. Cas spent most of the first half having to tackle and
it took a bit out of them.

On a positive note for Cas they won everything in the air.
It helped them get the three quick scores and open a 16 point lead.
What they failed to do was exploit the move and try again in the same corner.

Barrow struggled to prevent the Cas off load which was very effective at times and nearly always
gained you 70 yards on each set. Your completion rate looked good.

There is no disgrace loosing to a great Barrow team.

The problem with the Cas team was during the off loads, restarts, set moves, penalties I counted a few, often more than 4 Cas players not looking at the ball. They were slow getting back to defend and this presented gaps. I think that had this been addressed there might have been less errors and the need to give away penalties would not have been so great. This was made worse by the few who were slow to get back and Barrow were a big threat each time you gave them a penalty.

This is not the biggest problem in the world and I sure Cas will learn a lot from this game.
One or two players might depart and new blood come through.
I think the Coach will have also noticed this and kick butt where needed.

In my opinion I think Barrow would beat several Superleague Clubs with the team they
have today.

Good to see that some Cas fans on here are willing to give Barrow some credit !
As a Barrow fan I was confident of a result.
From 1-17 there is not a weak link in the Barrow side, the best side we have had in the last 30 years without a doubt.
If we were a full-time super league club with the present squad, I feel we would be a mid-table team at the very least !

Happy days

=#0080FFFull credit to your team on Sunday, but that's pushing it. I remember when we pushed Bradford close in the cup the other year and people were saying we'd be able to compete in SL with the team we had. Chances are that's not the case.

One game against weaker SL opposition is one thing, a whole season of SL level rugby is entirely different.

Still, they're obviously doing things right at Barrow so Good Luck for the rest of the season.
