We've come a long way this year. It's been a rough ride at times but to go from bottom one year, to top half of the table the next year is something we should be proud of.

The performance today was one of our worst of the season, although it pretty much summed up our home form. The players went out expecting an easy ride and it didn't quite happen. They ended up doing what they had to do though, but I hate ugly wins like that (although they're better than ugly defeats). Hopefully we'll be a lot better at Wigan next week.

Quote: mdean "Definitely not - he was limping for 20 minutes and the 4th official knew he was switching from 18 minutes on the clock.

As for his refereeing - honestly, I didn't mind that he wasn't going to allow any pratting about at the POTB or that he wouldn't stand for anyone NOT having both feet on-side..... That said it is not enforced like that every week, but I think it is everyone else who is lax - the rules have got to be better and more stictly enforced next season becuase I have found that it has been more of a mess at POTB and offside is a joke this year.'"


Or maybe other refs understand that people pay 17 quid to come and watch a rugby match not to see some jobsworth enforce the rules and slow the game down every chance he gets. That ref seriously thought we had paid to come and watch him.

Maybe so Di, just what was going around in the second half.
Bit of a coincedent though dont you think.
We are talking here about a terrible performance not a poor performance.
There were definatly something in it the ref not coming out second half....injury nah i dont believe that.

I couldn't agree more with the general sentiment of this thread. The team has improved generally across the board - They have done well to make the 8 it really exceeded my expectations. TM and BOD's get a lot of hammer - but this go round we have achieved our target.

What I am most positive about is the fact that there are to be relatively few changes this off season, which helps us build.
Also, the fact that next season we are not trying to break the top 6 from the bottom four! The challenge we have next year is not to try and beat Leeds, Saints home and away - next season, in order to improve from 8 to 6 is to convert those close games we lost this year early on......
That probably sounds weird, but the challenge of trying to win the competition from 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 you are trying to fix up so many things that it is an impossible target. Our challenge is not to make our good days better - because we are good enough on our good days - our challenge is to have less off-days and play better when we're average...... I should become a qualified coach, or a manager or something – I am good at this stuff!

Good luck to the boys @ Wigan, the Pies are massive favourites, but we can go there and enjoy the occasion because we already achieved our goal.

I've only missed a couple of games and would describe the season as highly satisfying rather than fantastic. Those able to attend only the home games will probably rate it even lower.

Fantastic season, predicted about 10th at start of season, I said if we made 9th it would be a good season, and 8th a great season, so 7th must be a fantastic season. Made good progress this year, lets just hope we can kick on next year.

That's about spot on SM. The home form has really been a let down, and that means the majority of fans have seen us winning very few matches.

The period that really let us down this season was when we were persisting with Sione in the halves. I never understood it then and can't now icon_rolleyes.gif

Personally think that you lot have had a great season and have been an absolute cash-cow for me,so much so that I'll be flying to Barbados whilst the game is being played.

a lot of credit must go to terry Matterson,whom it seems has kept his feet on the ground,when a lot of others have been panicing.Basically,hes done to Cas what Karl Harrison did at Salford,namely 1st season find your feet and pick your games to go all out in.The 2nd season,just play RL and its worked.

The basis of a very classy ouitfit is in place.In Shenton,Chase,Sherwin and Westerman,positional-wise they are as good as any other in sl,the main problem looks to be the squad size and being a bit light-weight in the forwards.sort out the pack and top 6 next season is a definate reality.

now for something,that many of you,may not realise.take away that gimmick MM weekend and you've only lost 3 games away from home all season,joint best in sl along with Huddersfield.If your home form matched the away form,you'd have finished 2nd!! icon_surprised.gif

I'll be backing Cas on handicap (expecting +10) and 5/2 on the outright and will be expecting to pickup my winnings a week on monday,when I return home icon_biggrin.gif
