Re: Challenge cup

If Saints and Leeds are the venues for the quarter finals and as Saints were drawn 7th out of the bag and Cas were drawn 3rd the odd numbers should be classed as the home team. Therefore it would be grossly unfair for Saints v Giants to be played at Saints so it should be played at Warrington. Likew...

Re: HKR next up

Just to be pedantic it’s impossible to have 3 halves. Equally one can’t give more than 100% and in soccer there aren’t matches of 6 pointers, neither can it be said that teams dropped points as they had zero points to start with. I’m not criticising anyone for using these expressions as everyone kno...

How can you make that assumption when only a handful of season ticket holders have responded to the question?

Re: The Grateful Thread

Good health transcends all sport. Nevertheless when your team puts on such a good performance as Cas did yesterday it’s a great panacea. Good luck to your father and a speedy recovery.

Re: 2021 League Table

We won’t have clubs filling in this season at short notice like we did last season because we now have an even number of clubs, unless of course two or more matches are affected.

Re: The old girl....

The world has changed in the past few years. It makes economic sense that clubs within the same borough should share a stadium. The ratepayers of Wakefield cannot be expected to subsidise two stadia in the present economic situation.

Re: Happy birthday Neil Diamond

I’ve always liked Neil Diamond and especially Sweet Caroline. The first lines ‘where it began’ are so appropriate fitting into the rebirth of Cas Tigers under Darryl Powell. When my wife died 11 years ago, at her funeral I had the opening words of the late Dave Whitfield played “When you lose the on...

A rare statement of positivity from Ian Fulton in today’s Yorkshire Post in which he confirms he’s proud to be Castleford’s chairman and committed to the future of the club.

Scrums and tackling

With the Government directive that footballers shouldn’t over celebrate goals, how on earth is rugby league to survive without tackles never mind scrums? Maybe all players wearing gloves will be the next directive.

Strange choice of sportsmen by Shaun Wane to give motivational speeches to our World Cup group, Mr Nice and Mr Nasty.

Glad for Macca, and so happy that Pies, Saints and Wire fans are so upset. Maybe those three clubs should play in a league of their own.

Re: Joel Tomkins

How about awarding clubs one point if an opponent is sent off for foul play and the team having the player sent off having one point deducted. That should do it.
