Unlucky today, was really hoping for an away draw against Fax in the next round!

Hope to see you back in Super League soon.

Wigan fan

i wish it was on Tv so Ganson could go to the screen

I must admit I was one of the Cas fans who was ignoring the quiet confidence that was growing between Fax fans before the game...having been at the game I thought your guys were absolutely outstanding and did in fact probably deserve to win. Although our own ball-retention was poor, I feel Fax's quality really put on a show, and as someone said your support was fantastic. How the BBC didn't go for this rather than Saints again I will never know...all the best for the rest of the season.
p.s..support Cas in the cup?

The Club - that players, Coaching staff, Backroom people, The Board and those working elsewhere like Mal and Jenna etc should be proud of what has been achieved in such a short space of time. It was only a couple of years ago we were on the verge of the club going. But now we are slightly disappointed losing away to a strong SL club!

The efforts of MH and MC to assemble a strong squad on a small budget is amazing. Its often not how much you have to spend but what the team will do for each other. That takes hard work and that hard work by the Coaching Staff and the players shines through. Lets push on and look to hammer the next team we play and take our anger and disappointment out on them. Lets aim to make The Shay a fortress where the atmosphere and noise is deafening. The Fans now need to get even more behind the club and try and help the Club bring more money in that will help us push on both this season and the future. The fans and the club must stay united no matter where we go from here.

I had about several heart attacks listen to the Net and my neighbours must think I am insane dancing around the room and shouting when we had scored late on to go ahead! Proud of the club and the players

Its managed the last 100+ years.

Well done 'Fax, sounds like you played a blinder.

Also they should be expanding up in Cumbria where it`s traditioally played rather than try and break into Wales .It`s never going to work down there like it didn`t work in Paris.If they did`nt keep wasting money on stuff like that there may be a bit more money in the pot for traditional clubs.

Franchising has the potential to work. But it has to be done based on teh most sucessful teams and based on those teams playing by the same rules.

Catalans for examlple did fantastic last year. I beg the answer to one question though. How many over seas recruits did they have? As did Celtic last year in teh national leagues. Again how many oversease etc players did they have?

The franchising system is supposed todevelope yound talent rather than encouraging short term fixes on overseas players.In the case of the Welsh how many welshmen are there in that squad let alone team.

When cas came up two yeers ago yes were were sh*t but we played youngsters with a view to bringing them on this year into the full team. Mission achieved .Celtic are on no points and dont even play young welshmen. Is the franchising really working.

Would there have been so much debate if say Widnes had gotin. Probably not.

We dont need expansion in the game. We need a stable base of core clubs who can opertae at a high level on an equal playing field. Celtic and to an extent Catalans with their foreign legion does not offer us this. In ten years time Celtic will possibly be doing a london and being bank rolled by the RFL, there may be a welshman of qualty playing in SL but what of the grass route clubs who are meant to develope future stars. Probably bankrupt or struggling financially.
