Quote: Bonzo "Our squad depth is a major issue and is costing us massively at the moment. We were relatively lucky with injuries last season but it's been quite the opposite this time around. Being out of the cup may be a blessing in disguise as we have a chance to rest players and get a few back. A decent run of form through June, July and August could put us in with a shot of the top 8, and weather conditions characteristic of those months have been advantageous to our squad and style of play in past.
With regards to the license application, the stadium and on-field performances would seem to be our only downfall at the moment as the club have made progress in all other areas off the field. The stadium is key though, and if the club's efforts behind the scenes are focussed there at the moment that's fine. However many fans are disgruntled by a lack of evidence to suggest that progress is being made.'"
Leeds over the last few years have made the most out of going out of the cup. Turn a negative into a positive. I suppose the draw back would be the missing out on the cash benefit which is there for the later rounds.
With the RFL looking favourably on clubs out of the homeland area Cas and Wakie are sitting ducks IMO. So you need to be meeting all requirements on the head to justify why Cas are in SL. Gone are the days of letting results on the paddock decide this. But the current poor form is one thing, but the stadium question mark will probably be your biggest hurdle to overcome. Not only does it need to get moving you need to show where you are with things at the moment, so I can see why the Cas fans are rightfully concerned.
(If you are struggling maybe hook up with Wakie and or Fev.)
