Matterson built that squad, offering contracts to those substandard players. Through loyalty alone They were always going to play for him. Wilward has come in and rocked the boat. Those players were on to a good thing and milward is making a lot of changes, With brand new idears and almost the full team out of contract, most of them know they will never put a cas shirt on again after 2012. Im Not suprised there is unrest in the dressing room. People need to get real, you cannot judge a coach under these circumstances.
This time next year if castleford are perfoming like second rate amatures i will be the first to stand on wheldon lane with the milward out sign, but until then i think we should give the man a chance..

Kinda disrespectful to Salford though, wouldn't you agree?

I would.

I seem to recall arguing with the majority who didn't think TM was even a half decent coach.....he must be truly gratified by the recent upsurge in his popularity. He might also remind us of his belief that he had taken us as far as he could (euphamism for getting out while the going was relatively good) and that this years squad, while smaller than ever, includes half a dozen probably playing at least one season too far.

That's not to say IM is a good/bad coach but that anyone thinking our problems can be attributed purely to him is sadly mistaken.

I too thought matterson was under valued, siad two things at the end of last season, people who had a go at matterson would want him back and milward would take us backwards, both turned out to be true.

With amount of fans i have heard saying they are giving up/wont get a season ticket next year, we will have an even smaller squad next year (or go bust).
