Fans Urge Matterson to get some Wins!
With only 8 Superleague matches left this season, can Terry Matterson´s Castleford side pull out all the stops in their remaining games and pull back some points.
The Tigers currently sit 4 points behind Hull FC in the Superleague table, after having won only three of their last nineteen SL matches, one loss that will be remembered for a long time was the recent game, in which over 17´600 people watched as Cas´ failed to beat an academy filled Leeds Rhino´s side.
The Tigers seem to be struggling, and with controversy picking up amongst fans, Terry Matterson will be feeling the heat to get the team to perform to perfection for the remainder of Superleague 2008.
Cas´ were favourites to sit at the bottom of the table after promotion from NL1 last season, but who would have predicted that they would have done it with a goal difference of -258 after only playing 19 SL games this season.
There is no doubt in the fans minds, that the Club has made some positive steps this year, including the re-securing of 22-year-old Michael Shenton earlier this week, Shenton sits behind only Andrew Henderson and Craig Huby as the player with the most appearances of the current first team with an impressive 93 games. Other progressive steps taken by the club this season include progress into the new Stadium, Joe Westerman´s 4-year deal, and a chance at the SL franchise, but are these things enough to keep the fans turning up at the Jungle, according to some fans, no they´re not.
Let´s hope that Matterson can get the wins that the fans of Castleford so eagerly await, and in my opinion, with all the heartache and humiliation that they have suffered as of late, so rightly deserve!
