Definitely and by the looks of it Hull are there for the taking. I'm not bitter about the loss, just the fact that we didn't ever really get going and make a serious game of it. We were bossed by Cas and with the pack and back line talent we have I expect more. Oh well.

Exactly my point.

As I've stated elsewhere, to win against Wire shows we can beat a top side. To lose to Cas ought to give us a kick up the backside.

all good points fellas !!

agreed

I wouldn't want to disrespect Cas and the squad they haved assembled. In my opinion they do it the right way, bringing through talented local lads who usually end up fleshing out many other clubs from Yorkshire and beyond. Wire have shown that success can be bought, but I'd rather be a Cas fan than follow Wire...just because I like what the Castleford club stands for.

I don't think Cas will do all that badly this year and I'm sure they'll shock one or two sides, who like us will probably go into the games underestimating them. Arundel, Youngquest and Walker all look top prospects and I wish the club well. As for the Giants, we'll be back and it should be a cracker against Hull because they will be desperate for a point nevermind the win.
