Quote ="braytontiger"I was at that game that day and the Wakefield team were far too good for cas on the day,one thing that should also be pointed out that the cas team was made up of 16/17 year olds.
Academy's should be all about developing the players not winning every week,cas have produced some good players but they havnt always been the best side.'"
I spoke with Gary Thornton about this when he was at Cas and he was brutally honest about what the junior side is all about and said to look at the first team list of both wakey and cas in 5 years time and that's where the real victory is. He firmly believed he was there to develop players rather than win junior grand finals.
