A major straw clutching session going on by some the Wakey fans forum. The fact is over 80 minutes we exposed them for what they really are...a bottom of the top 8 side.

Generally speaking , most wakey fans would probably be very comfortable with that.

We are building slowly but steadily.

I get that some wakey fans are moaning & clutching at straws, but some Cas fans seem to have short memories & are in danger of quickly becoming the very fans we've hated at Leeds & Wigan. Nothing wrong with building slowly, it's how weve got to where we are at the moment.

Fifita has some quality about him and under DP and the team could be a much improved player. Think he's also quite a fan friendly player and into the family aspect of the game sonwould fit with the culture we're building on. Think he has a decent length contract with Wakefield though and don't see us as a 'buying' club, unless it's getting youthful raw talent i.e. Gadwin

Long live the Tigers!!!

I'd be happy with him to replace Lynch when he retires at the end of the year. As you say, he seems to fit our culture. Under our coaching team I think he would be good for us, and also get more minutes out of him than Wakey do after being under our conditioning team.

I thought he only signed a year at wakey
In a decent team used correctly he could be quite destructive

Ive been a season ticket holder for nearly 20 years and a supporter for over 30 years and have seen more lean times than good. Believe me i am well aware the wheels can very easily fall off the current charge at the summit...1988 & 2011 still burn fresh with me...flying starts those seasons too then pop.

My gripe were with some of their posters, the excuses wound me up a tad.

The key word there though is destructive .
If and a big IF , he came to cas he would be used in bursts .
He's not a starting prop like Lynch , more of an impact player .
So on the bench we would have Moors , Fifita , Jesse and Chase which means Cook has to be a starter because he's too good to leave out altogether . So we would still need a replacement for a lynch . He's also non fed/ quota whatever . Not worth it IMO

I know mate, it's hard not to bite (I struggle constantly). I only mentioned it as the 'Cas love in' will come to an end shortly & they'll crawl out from the woodwork to hit us if/when things turn. We can be Classy off the pitch as well as on it!

True there have been more famine than feast.
I am not from and have never lived in Cas but have been coming down the Lane for mor than forty years having been introduced to the game by my father in law who is a life long Supporter and still a regular at eighty eight .
The culture seems to be developing and l see no reason for it to come to an end soon.
Just checked my glass is definitely half full.
I think I'll just top it up.
Happy Easter
