Top of the League

Post by Tamworth Tiger » 05 Nov 2014, 19:07

We did get there after all. Just been on the Super League website, and as a result of Bradford's relegation, we start the position top of the league based on the alphabet
Let's enjoy it while we can!

Did you really have to go on the website to realise that?

Even my Tamworth exile mate Harry Barlow over here in Colne worked out his beloved Aston Villa were second in the Premier League before a ball was kicked.

Not sure what you mean by massive gamble - are you referring to Clarke and Huby leaving or something else?
I really believe we go well next season, I think DP has made some astute signings and although any team in Superleague would miss the likes of Daryl Clark and Craig Huby, I reckon that overall, our new signings will actually make us stronger.

Chubbs probably had his best ever season in 2015, but his form and that of Daryl Clark did dip after the injury to Huby, whether that was down to the injury, other teams finding us out or just a natural loss of form, we'll probably never know, but I think that Millo missing for most of the run in, had a bigger impact and the fact that he will be fit for the start of the season, along with the new guys, should make us a force to be reckoned with once again. I'll wait to see what the odds are for another top 8 finish before having a wager, but I have every confidence in DP and DO to do the business once again.

Sorry, but I don't get this big fuss about Huby leaving. I'm sure it's only because he's local. Don't get me wrong, he's been a good player for us and, as a support, I appeciated his loyalty but, hand on heart, we can do better.

I'm with you there fumper, great offload but an average prop apart from that. the fact that he was a local lad influenced peoples judgement of him. i think another local lad will step up to the plate in ryan boyle and that will probably sway of how i rate him. :lol: :lol: :lol:

You heard it here first Fumper...2015 best ever season for Chubbs and he will finally get international recognition, although unfortunately for him, his new team will still fail to get decent support, will finish below Cas in the league and won't win a trophy!
Tomorrow nights winning lottery numbers are definitely going to be 6 numbers between 1 and 49...
...and I'm obviously not going to tell you the winning numbers, as then I would have to share with who knows how many other people.
Not that I wouldn't want to share my good fortune with my fellow Cas supporters, because if there was any group of people in the world I would share with, then it would of course be the same people I have shared so many great memories with since I started watching my team, so a good portion of any jackpot would be invested in Cas Tigers, in some way that would make a difference.

I personally don't think we will go as well as last season. I hope they prove me wrong, but i think we are still a big forward light in my opinion. As for Boyle i really hope he doesn't have recurring knee problems that Jonny Walker had while he was with us. The half backs might not gel either.

As for the two Samoans, they look very promising but we can't be sure they will settle, Melbourne to Castleford could be an eye opener for them and their families...though Moors might be happy he is closer to Anfield to make regular visits(hear he's a Liverpool fan).

Shoot me down guys but i am going for somewhere between 6th and 9th.

The history of Super League suggests (apart from the usual suspects) the team that sparkles one year will struggle the following.
