You should join a debating society with such skills

Are you my mother in law as you seem to spout the same brand of shiite

Sorry mate, not interested in joining your mass debating society

What an interesting way to say 'i'm a bit thick so i cant debate like an adult'.

Or maybe a less interesting way to say that you don't seem to have an opinion of your own and just tag along with you mates

And you base that on what?

Not only have i explained my opinion i have given reasons for it supported by facts. You on the other hand spouted a load rubbish, have decided the future based on last seasons league positions, supplied 'facts' that were wrong, and then made throwaway childish comments that make you look like an 8 year old.

The only question now is just how childish and foolish you are going to make yourslef look.

Not as foolish as the dope who keeps replying to my childish comments eh?

oh showing you up amuses me

Ditto

Feck me, grow up

I actually think 3rd and 4th spots are up for grabs this year.

The obvious candidates such as Wigan, Bradford and Wire have all had below average starts, and whilst I expect them to come back and kick some form together, it has left things open for others to come in and make a challenge. I think the only places that are easy to predict this year are top 2 and bottom 2.

Would it of hurt you that much not to mention Hull aswell.

No it wouldn't have hurt at all. I just didn't regard hull as a pre-season favourite for a top 4 spot and neither did you if you're honest.

I do now though

looking very good for the top 4 position now eh?

I think if they keep this form up, they're in with a shout.

Then again so are the likes of KR, FC, Quins, Hudds and Wakey based on early season form.

It's going to be tight, that's for sure. Personally I'll be delighted with top 6, let alone anything else.

When do they play a decent team?

castleford were very fortunate winnners today but they have the knack of winning ugly which all top teams need and these results are the difference between making the top 4 and not.

By that do you mean Saints or Leeds?

They've already played Hudds (3rd) and Hull (5th) who many would consider at moment to be form teams.

Catalans, Hull FC, Bradford and even joke club Wigan were all fancied and tipped to have better seasons than Cas and all have have been turned over by Cas.

good job none of them had half decent goal kickers for them games against cas




4 wins could've easily been 3 losses and a draw, but fair play to them, they play open attractive rugby, it's refreshing to see a top 5 without the usual suspects

If you think Amos Roberts, Danny Tickle, Thomas Bosc and Paul Deacon & Paul Sykes are all below average kickers then fair enough.



Our 2 losses could have easily been 2 wins, you make your own luck.

Seeing perennial basement dwellers competing and beating so called bigger clubs clearly rankles with some.

they were on the nights/days they played against cas, tickle usually slots them over from anywhere on the pitch, deacon the same, bosc to all accounts had to face a strong wind to tie the game, as you say you make your own luck, roberts not sure, as richards usually kicks, cas have been outscored on 3 of those matches, one day their luck may run out!

Cas have also lost two close games in which their own kickers couldn't match those of Quins and Huddersfield, so they could easily be even better placed right now. Almost anyone could finish as high as third, but I fancy Huddersfield, or possibly Warrington if Tony Smith can exert his influence quickly enough.

take away the top 2, and salford(sorry, they just look so poor), this season is going to be un-predictable, even celtic are starting to get closer to teams

Incorrect, Cas have only been outscored once and that was against Hull FC by 4 tries to 3.

The majority of Hull fans who posted on here after the game were magnanimous enough to acknowledge Cas were the better team on the night and deserved their victory.

Our luck will run out, it even runs our for the great clubs like Leeds & Saints eventually, but for now we'll just enjoy the moment.

Cas were regular contenders for major honours right up to the mid 90's, I know some newbies and youngsters might think our place is (and always has been) fighting for the wooden spoon or in NL1 but being at the right end of the table and winning trophies is not an alien concept for all Cas fans.
