Not really, we played miles better with the ball in 2nd half. Would have been interesting to see that 2nd half performance against their 1st team, don't think it would have carried on the way the 1st half went.

Anyone know when the highlights of the game are out???

Exactly! There's no gloating to be had by anyone in a friendly (there's a clue in the term friendly).

.. and it suits your bizarre agenda!

Don't have an agenda, I hate Cas, but blinkstudios does have a point

We could point to players left out of the match and injuries sustained during the first half. Trying new combinations out.... etc... but that would gloss over the point that we were dire, particularly in defence down the right side.
If Cas wanted to play U19s in the second then they are free to do so. But they're deluding themselves if they think it was a full team of U19s. Monaghan and chase must have started playing rugby in their infancy!
At the end of the day Cas played well in the first half, taking advantage of some weak defence by us. Towards the end of the first half we came back into the game after a reshuffle. In the second half we played outstanding rugby, which even the Cas fans next to me applauded, and rightly deserved the win.
Let's stop detracting from ourselves and leave that to the rest of the RFL. It was a good win, we'd have tested any team with that second half display.

Not really. It wasn't a league game, the result was nice for us even if it was the weaker Cas' players we blitzed in the second half.
Friendly games are a notoriously poor guide to form in the coming season.
That said, Cas' are a team we have to emulate and I think we have the players to do it IF they play with the same heart as the Cas' players. IMO that's what it's all about.

Perhaps you can tell us which of your squad, from Sunday, you would leave out to accommodate the 8 players on your list.
There are some obvious ones, but you will struggle to get all of these into you first squad for round 1 of the new season.
I dont think 23 man squads are allowed for SL fixtures.

Hardaker for Monaghan (eden to wing)
Shenton for Egodo
Millington for Springer
Holmes for Cook (Cook to Bench)
Mcmeeken for Moors (Moors to LF or Bench)
Milner for Senae Lefao (JSL to Bench)
Massey for Maher
Patrick for Fitsimmons

Really wasnt difficult.

Our strongest line up will be along the lines of this:

1. Hardaker
2. Minikin
3. Shenton
4. Webster
5. Eden
6. Chase
7. Gale
8. Lynch
9. Mcshane
10. Millington
11. Holmes
12. Mcmeeken
13. Milner

14. Roberts
15. Moors
16. Springer
17. JSL

That bench is the definition of impact. Still leaves out established SL players such as Cook, Patrick, Massey, Hitchcox, Monaghan etc.

Absolutely no delusion at all.

Our left hand side consisted of luke million, Tom Holmes, Luis Johnson, Tuoyo Egodo and Declan Sheehan
Our right was Monaghan, Callum Turner, Connor fitzsimmons, chase
Our forwards - Moors Cook and Springer played 10 minutes. Then we had Brandon Douglas and Daniel Igbinedion and Will Maher.

The max number of first teamers was 5 and we finished the game with 2 (mongahan and chase).

Lynch, Roberts, Mcshane, Gale and Senae Lefao sat on their backsides watching.

I will bet 1000 English pounds that Cas tigers finish above the Wakefield widcats in the 2017 Superleague table. Any Wakey fans interested in that bet ?

Neither Wakefield Widcats (or Wildcats) will be playing in the 2017 SL.

No, because we probably will not . A year of consolidation and top 8 will do most of us .For what it's worth I hope you do finish top 4. Sick of same olds.Just be prepared for not quite achieving your aspirations.

So one Wakey supporter so far as agreed Cas will finish above Wakey. What about the people who slagged me off for saying you beat the Cas under 19's team in the second half of the friendly, do you want to put a bet on or what

What would your chosen charity be should you win?

Your probably right squire, assuming of course there was (A) anybody in Cas with a thousand pound and (B) in that unlikely event were daft enough to lend you it

FWIW I agree with you.
I expect Cas to finish 4/5 and Trinity 7/8/9

It can take a while for news to make it all the way to Cas but the "Wildcats" are no more.

Ahh Cas fans, classy as ever. Everything always has to be a bet with them, it's like they have nothing better to do that collect their job seekers allowance and stand in the bookies frittering it away.

Sorry forgot you've changed your name, probably to ditch the debt you got into under the wildcats brand. Yes I do actually have the money to place the bet so if you want to take the bet do so.

Massive generalisation.

Not that massive... it's like night of the living dead up there - but with tracksuits and rollies.

Still no takers then just Wakey fans slagging of Cas for a change. Yada Yada Yada.

Like when Cas are playing away in front of the Sky cameras and there are a thousand or more of your fans watching the game in Curry's shop window.

Perhaps Vastman was right, the Cas fans do live in a little bubble. Perhaps that bubble is the safest place for them and the rest of society too.

Please ignore this numpty. He likes to go around riling people up for his own enjoyment.
