Wane's the same after every defeat. On the surface he appears gracious and willing to concede that the better team won, but he always slips a few jabs in about how the opposition effectively cheated and how the referees incompetence allowed them to. It's pathetic really.

His parting 'jibe' was actually unintendandly funny. He said 'Castleford laid on in the tackle better than we did' He is actually admitting to cheating. In effect 'We cheated, but Castleford cheated even better'.

Sorry duplicate for some reason

Bump.

He was delighted when Wigan layed on at Manchester a couple of weeks ago , but not now , he said so much in the run up to the game because he thought Wigan were certanties to win yesterday . The Castleford performance was superb especially the second half tackling when up against it . With a bit more luck you could also be top of super league with close calls against Saints and the Midgets plus the ridiculous game turnaround time against the Rhinos.

The only downside yesterday was the aftermatch photos , it was a quarter final , leave those things untill you win at Wembley which i may say you now have every chance to do so

Cas fans and players think they have one the cup already. They forget the favourites are still in it and Warrington. Long way to go yet they may get to wembley but they will probably be playing a very good team when they get there.
It was there year in 98 and 99 wasn't it and got knocked out by London and Sheffield Si discount widnes either.

I still don't understand why people get so ed off by this. The team takes a photo with the fans after every single win not just this match - one of the waterboys/physio's Matthew Merrick is a sports photographer takes the photos. This isn't just a 'oh we won a quarter final, let's take a photo!'

Nah I don't think that...one game at a time. Besides we will drop for your side and the officials in the semi

I think its because cas have something special between the players and fans.
Its something most clubs would love.

We are a close knit family cub, who through all the adversity over the past 10yrs we have stuck together.

I have been over at my pals gaff in Prades, France for his 40th birthday party so couldn't get to the game, it's a good job that the locals couldn't speak very good English whilst we were watching the game in the bar there as i was ripping into that fat ape big time with some very explicit rants


Up the Tigers

Hi 1st post, but that is pretty much bang on. At home the players certainly do it after every win usually with their children/mascots as well. Just a bloody good family club bringing together the players fans and officials of the club. Team Cas.

Starting to get on my nerves. People need to get a grip. We're a community club; at one of the games a few weeks back, the players brought some U10's kids (or alike) from a local amateur club on to the pitch and took them round before taking a picture. That'll no doubt stick in those kids' memories forever.

Do we? Someone better advise all the players and fans. Are you Shaun Wane? Seem to be saying something that never really happened.

It's OK Fully. He's only called rollin thunder because the "t" fell off the front of his name!

his catch phrase is "And I don't mean any disrespect but...." then follows some disrespect....

hes an end of the highest order.

anyway see you at Wembley....hopefully

Honestly, I think Leeds are the side least likely to win the cup this year. They seem to have some kind of mental block in the CC final. 6 Cup Final defeats in a row for them, and tied for most final defeats of any club.

I think that's pushing it a little bit with Widnes still in (no disrespect to them btw they've done well this year but I wouldn't put them above Leeds).

Interesting, our last few cracks in CC Finals we've not had the defence. Wire eased 30 past us in 2010 and 2012 and Wigan got over a few times in the first 30 minutes in 2011.

The defence is miles better this year. Even last week when we were woeful vs Wire we only conceded 24. Years gone past that would've been 40+. Also getting Burrow and Aiton back at hooker will make a big difference to us.

Remember it well Fully. The kids were Kippax under 9's who played in the curtain raiser and are coached by Andy Lynch. It was something I will never forget and I was stood on the Wheldon Road terrace. I cannot imagine how the young 'uns felt after that - truly amazing.

Castleford Tigers for Club of the Year ?

They certainly deserve it ,great family/community club ,and thats coming from a Rhino's fan too

Anyway.. back on topic
