Sadly, There are quite a few problems Jim

We’ve let our best attacker leave and not replaced him
We are playing a slow
Second row forward at stand off

But even if I believe the GH spin on it which I don’t, do you think Saints or Wigan or even Leigh Miners Welfare might have said if we release you on loan, you can’t play against us this season?

There was clearly more to it than that

Probably, but IF GH had fallen out with Austin, even more reason for not letting him play against us.

Even if the rest of Cas's squad looks weak, they have two halfbacks. That gives them a big edge. even if the effort os there unlike last week its hard to see us having many points in us.

Just on Sinfield, from next year he needs to be given a chance when a first choice halfback is out but the rest of the team is strong. Its really unfair and no kind of learning environment to play in the sort of teams he generally has since last season.

We put a few on Hull with a similar squad, Wigan and Catalans are a totally different proposition than Castleford

Your joking aren't you?? You expect GH to act using common sense?!? Preposterous suggestion!!

Brilliant post.

Don’t get me wrong, something needs to change in regards to the playing squad and coaching set, but let’s not forget what this board has brought to the club…..

Some people have very short memories

I work with a Cas lad who’s in the know and is spot on with everything usually, also related to someone connected to the club. He reckons that Fulton Jr has no intentions of investing any more money, and actually wants to introduce a wage cap of 40k a year for first team players!!

There’s a reason why they’re having 'a clear out'

Perhaps it's hyperbole Perhaps it isn't the proof will be apparent that is fact what you think it will or won't achieve is irrelevant.

You can't say that on here! It is way too close to the bone and current! The truth is the club is flapping like a stuck fish rubbish player management and even worse governance of contractual terms a complete and utter joke what decent player/management would want to do buissness with us right now?

If there was something being organised, I'm sure we'd have heard about it by now.

There was a bit of chatter about organising a protest by a few fans in the bars of Perpignan on Saturday night, but it appears they have forgotten about it faster than their hangovers. No mention on their socials, just the usual pre-game/end of season stuff and season ticket renewals.

However, I do think that if we are not looking competitive by half time, the bars will be full of people watching the Leigh/Wigan game.

Stop calling him brilliant he already has a hairy chest and medallion does Clueso.

Good time to do so.

Hope they go well.
I hope we can start with some intensity and togetherness. We need each player to show good body language and be supportive.
Nobody expects champagne football tonight but enthusiasm and defensive effort and some hard running will at least get the crowd behind them.
2 odd looking sides, so who knows but we need some of the established players to show some leadership tonight.

Wow, no Smith, no Holroyd - no chance. Going to be a long night.

Were going to miss Smiths defence!

Hope the young kids on the bench go well

Sinfield should get the chance to be 1st receiver without Smith. Hope he goes well. He may give us a bit of organisation.

Yeah it has the makings of another one that could fall apart again with them having 2 halves and disgruntled ex players always looking for revenge. Further players out for us, especially Smith as the only one who was left with any real passing game. A lot to ask of sinfield to be that player tonight. Win or lose, again you can still identify if we've 'played to the potential that's out there', namely not coughing up cheap possession, daft penalties and 6 agains, and turning up with some strong carries and contact.

Great start

Olpherts has to make the top 10 worst rhinos players ever. Aside from just being here next year why is he still picked. Pay him off and send him on his way. Whether he plays a single minute for us next year it'll be a barometer of our ambition.

Cas really haven't turned up with the intent to get stuck in I thought they would.

Woo Olpherts can hold a ball

We’ve actually played with a lot if intensity, Cas dont look like they can be bothered

Sinfield is having a good game
