Well, maybe it was to do with, telling someone to worry about their own, when he was expressing his opinion on his own forum.

great aint it mate!!!

Anyway do cas have a similar forum to ours for discussion of games or is this the only place they can come to chat?

Well from down in Cardiff I can say this much,
I sat through the first 2 games and then ours and the first half of Wigan v Sts,
The only game to generate any atmosphere was Wakefield v Cas who had both sets of fans chanting and cheering throughout. Lots of good health rivalry which took a funny turn when a few Whino fans started to muscle in. Without any prompting Cas and Trinity fans retorted by singing "we hate Whinos" to the popular tune that the Weeds fans like to use.

As for the game, Childs destroyed it as a spectacle with his ridiculous performance,
we were poor in defence, how the he'll do you concede two overlap tries when you have the extra man, what was Fergie doing letting Widders run round him and how on earth was it so easy for Milner to waltz over from half back. George was left stranded time and time again in the first few minutes and Cas should have had more points on the board.

As for Cas, if that's their best 17 theyre in as much trouble as we are, given that we will probably recruit two or four players in the next month or so.

Yes, could hear both sets of fans chanting, making plenty of noise.

Ah,I get it now,it's a private forum,sorry,I didn't realise.

Meaning i have seen loads of cas fans acting like idiots on here, when they probably would not act like this if they would be in front of a Wakey fan in the flesh. I have very rarely seen opposite fans act badly to me face to face for years. I have got on very well and talked good rugby to fans from all over the country. It is easy to be 'out there' behind a computer.

I don't think you do. Someone expressed his opinion of the game and Cas' chances of top 8, you got you knickers in a twist and told him to concentrate on his own team, I think it's you, who doesn't understand what a forum is about.

bugger saints were 2nd part of my treble for the weekend!

never mind, good to be back

and load of fun to be had with wigan kit!

No it wasn't.

McGoldrick, Isa, Owen, Fozzard were missing and Hudson missed around 70 minutes of the game.

McGoldrick in you best 17? Pull the other one..

I'd have him on the bench, yes.

Are you Terry Matterson?



The only bench I'd have him on in the airport.

What muppet gave that guy a 4 year deal, needs his bumps feeling.

No, I just think you need to look at the wider picture. Sure he has crazy moments but he's dangerous in attack and he makes so many metres.

Guys if you want to discuss the pro's and cons of RM and any squad changes you would make please do so, but not on here ta.

to be fair, i have not read all of this thread, but i do make the following comments....

our defensive pattern is no better -different players, same mistakes, left open out wide too easy
our attack is very disjointed, we don't seem to have any plan
some effort (king and johnson especially), but not wholly as a team.
kicking game non existant

we also knew that chase was the major threat, but did nothing about it

not much change from end of last for me (yet)

Maybe I got caught up in the excitment of yesterdays takeover, but I went into the game optimistic, and was therefore quite horrified by what I saw.

I thought the effort was great, but feel that if a poor Castleford side can do that to us, what will the likes of Wigan and Saints do? I don't blame the referee either, as he was shocking for both sides. I thought we looked drasically short of ideas in attack, and poor defensively, especially out wide. It's obvious to everyone we need a couple of props urgently (but hopefully the club are on with that now we are out of administration) and a scrum half as Obst was out of his depth.

The positives for me were Rinaldi (we're much better side when he's on the pitch), King (looks dangerous but worringly our most creative player) and Johnson (never stopped working and with 2 more props could be stand out second rower). I also think Millard and George could cause some serious damage with more of the ball.

Overall, I'm more worried than I was. It's going to be a long season.

Did youwatch any games in the back end of last season ?
If yes , then what the hell were you expecting?

Sorry, I didn't realise losing to Castleford by 20 was considered acceptable.

In an ideal world NO......but , what were you honestly expecting ?
I'm not happy at all with whats on the pitch , but wasn't expecting any more than what I saw this afternoon

but should we accept second best ? the major thing i have noticed since Kear has took over is the amount of penalties as a team we concede...we must be the most penalised team in the league....queue stato

Like I said



I did expect more, and some of the mistakes and penalties had nothing to do with age or experience.

We are a bit vulnerable at the moment and what happens off the pitch will have more impact over the next month or so.

For a team of players, who wouldn't of known what was happening with the club and their futures etc, i don't want to be too hard on them and will be looking for better performances in the coming weeks.

Point taken & I'm not a kear fan , fed up with this "us against the world" mantra , but that's what we've got , so can't se why you think we'd be any different today .
