Apart from Sean oloughlin, how many ball playing loose forwards do you know in Super league ?

Chris bailey was our last ball playing loose. Except he never played!

With brief exceptions we have been playing that way for 30 years while iv'e been watching them, and 30 years before that when i saw them two or three times a year, It's in their DNA.

Getting relegated might be the answer ( if it's still the system after this season ) at least we would have a chance for a fresh start, be able to get rid of all the dead wood, but there's only one man who can do that and if he's happy to let things drift on, then so be it. It might also be the end of the club, but in all honesty we are not much more than making up the numbers. We were not wanted in Super league to start with and there was a reason for not being invited.
Jools is right if someone doesn't do something now it will be too late. But hey ho Union is getting better and better, It's not League i know but it's better than the s***e we watch most of the time.

I still remember Brimah Kebbie catching the ball behind our own line at Keighley and running through the whole team to score, and Deano's amazing dummy half bursts to score against Halifax in the Challenge Cup!! I think you might be right about the DNA though, its really strange that certain clubs seem to play a certain way regardless of the coach or the players, Castleford and St. Helens will always play open passing rugby for example. How does that work?!!? It makes no logical sense at all!

Personally its those magical moments i remember best. I can't say i recall too many of them from the year we won the hubcap, but maybe that's just an age thing, things are always better when you are younger. Some of Brough's solo efforts haven been spectacular, and i'm sure we are hoping for more from Mamo when the pitches dry out.

I remember Kebbie, Hanger, Austin, and of course Wally, but Leroy has had some magical moments too. There was the try against Wire in the play-offs and then this pass. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Av0glaTzxyA We can and have played some great rugby, just need the right players, coach and backroom team.

A lot of people hold that theory, but I’ve never been convinced.

Cas were crap for years. They weren’t overly entertaining when they finished 10th.

And for a long time Saints just scooted up the field off the back of Cunningham at DH while Eddie Hemmings creamed himself. The commentary would go on about “The Entertainers” but the rugby was pretty dire at times. Successful though.

if we were relegated that would be the end of the giants full stop i think. careful what you wish for

maybe thats what you want though then you can support castleford more or england in the six nations
