That is one of the best posts I've ever read and absolutely spot on!the happy hooker9 wrote:Hmmm how time s have changed for me anyway.............
Can remember the sixties when we had a league of 30 clubs and the ONLY pleasure of a win was Batley, Dewsbury , Donny. and Liverpool City ( remember them) at home, an way win was as rare as a Green Dove.
Keighley, Huddersfield, Fax , Rochdale H tonking us at Wheldon Road was the norm ......beat Leeds six times on the trot ....................fantasy.
Now where are we, Top Of The League, on course for some sort of Silver ware, in the minds of all Sl fans, playing the attractive rugby that was ALWAYS synonymous with Castleford, the 'darlings' of the media.
I personally don't give a rats arris if we win a trophy, its just been a momentous season and in view of what I've suffered following this great team Ill always KEEP THE FAITH

On a personal note I have enjoyed the rugby that we have played this year more than any other and whether we win a trophy or not will not change that.
It would be nice to get some silverware though just to get on record how good Cas have been this year.

Re: 'Knock-out football'
Thats exactly how i see things. The rugby we play is by far and away the best in the league. Even on our off days we are competing and even outscoring (try wise) our opponents.
Any trophy would be a massive bonus this year as i still think we are ahead of where we should be in our building phase. I see us hitting our straps either next year or the year after, just this year has propelled us with Wigan and Warringtons troubles (who are the only teams i had above us before the season started), which by the way im not complaining about.

Re: 'Knock-out football'
Trophies are more important than style of play.
You play sport to win, not to look good losing. Cas not winning anything this year would be a massive failure, especially with a 6 point cushion in the league.

Re: 'Knock-out football'
The key for us is to book our top 4 place as soon as possible and then we can start resting up players ahead of a big semi-final test.
If we can get at least 4 wins in the remaining 5 games, that will set a huge foundation and relieve pressure on us ahead of Super 8s.
Once top 4 is assured, all about top 2 and a home semi-final.

Re: 'Knock-out football'
you are both wrong they have looked amazing!
Re: 'Knock-out football'
Disagree that we should guarantee top 4 then rest players. Win as many of the next 5 games as possible for the greatest lead at the top. Powell needs to get a couple of extra players signed up for the business end in case of injury even if only loan players.

Roberts will be 34
Shenton 32
Webster retired
Lynch retired
Another rebuild required. The time is now 2017 to win something especially after our start

Shenton (will still be playing) > Egodo/ Gill ( Still learning)
Webster > Minikin
Lynch > Maher / Douglas or any replacement who is brought in in the mean time
The rebuild is already in progress. Look at what DP is doing....there is a succession of youngsters who are already learning and plying there trade in the lower leagues on loan who will be ready.
That being said, I am not saying 2017 isn't the time for us to win something, like i previously stated, i just think our progress been propelled by Wigan and Warrington not doing so well.

Re: 'Knock-out football'
Totally agree Fords, the time is now, Powell as been blowing our trumpet for the past 2 seasons that we are ready to challenge for the big prizes. We may never be in a better position to win a trophy than now. Great position for LLS and unless we totally fade away over the coming weeks a semi final shot at reaching the GF.StevieTheTV wrote:Roberts > Holmesfords wrote:in 2yrs timeStevieTheTV wrote:Thats exactly how i see things.
