7 is half way in a list of numbers 1-13.

7 & 8 are both half way in a list of numbers 1-14.

Write them on a piece of paper and start crossing numbers off, one at a time, at alternating ends of the list. See what happens!

Only a wakey fan could try to convince you they were mid table being 9th in a 14 team league icon_smile.gif

Another Wakey fan said we would have to in the 8 to be considered mid-table, which you guffawed at, saying 7th was mid-table.

You also laughed at me, when explaining the sequence and distribution of numbers.

Do you howl at the moon and point at planes??

I have shown, using simple maths, that 7th & 8th are mid-table.

Stop digging man!

You say I'm digging so that must make it true. 7 is half of 13 and 8 is half of 14..... So true icon_smile.gif

How old are you? Have you started year 5 yet? An 11 year old would know this.

14 is 2x7. Half way between 1 & 14 is 7.5, half way between 1-13 is 7.

7 would be the mid point in a 13 team league. Positions 7 & 8 are equally in the middle of a 14 team league.

Really, just write the numbers down and see for yourself.

Halving something is not the same as finding the mid-point!

I'll leave the holding up of 14 fingers to you.

Write the numbers down and find the middle of a 1-14 league.

It is position 7 & 8, trust me...

If we had a 13 team league, the mid point would be 7th position, 6 teams above this point and 6 teams below.
With a 14 team league, 7th leaves you with 6 teams above and 7 teams below.
If you are in 8th position then there are 7 teams above and 6 teams below, therefore there are 2 positions that can be described as mid table, 7th and 8th.

If you need any more help, I can give you some numbers to ring.

Quote: Cas Till I Die "The following letter will be e-mailed all and sundry.

Dear Ian,

I would like to say that for the first time in my life as Castleford Tigers supporter, I watched with disbelief as my team performed for 40 minutes throughout a 1st half with no spirit, no organisation, no desire and above all no passion.
You have managed in your short tenure to instil in experienced quality players a complete total lack of interest in playing rugby league and for that you must be applauded.
We watch from the terracing as players show a total inability to perform the basic tasks involved in the participation of our great game.
In defence, we show no intention to work together in a defensive line, we have no line-speed in attempting to stop the attacking side from getting into their stride and there is a clear lack of communication in our defensive line as players leave ample gaps for opposing players to run through with ease.
We started today’s game with Ollie Holmes, a back rower, at hooker and Clark on the bench. Clark showed he was unfit/unwell when throwing-up on the 20m line after another Wakefield try, so where the hell was Adam Milner? In Clark and Milner we have two of the games finest young hookers but do we use them as a pair? No, that would be too simple.
We have a pack of forwards who should be terrorizing defences throughout the league. In Huby, Walker, Emmitt, Mason, etc we have players who at present show little ability to make that first line-break and provide the off-load that feeds the supporting half back and here I am again describing that element missing from our game. Basic rugby league.
I apologise for “rambling on” as you must be wanting to get back to catching up with Neighbours and watching the NRL and dreaming that maybe, just maybe you will be given another chance to make a complete mess of another club.
To conclude, I write with hope that maybe our Board of Directors see the light find enough pennies to rid us of the poorest rugby league coach to have graced Wheldon Road for many years because I think I am not far wrong that if you are still in your position for much longer the terraces “down the lane” will be very, very quiet and empty.

Regards,

A supporter, season ticket holder and now member for many years.'"

Here here, well said, please add my name to the list.

How monumentally dim are you. You're not embarrassing yourself the damage is truly done on that one - you are however embarrassing your club and fellow fans.

So -Wakefield are a well drilled side who player for player are marginally better than you and possibly 3-4 other teams. They are backed up by a better Coach than most of those teams and a superior back room set up than most of those teams. Hence we are comfortably mid table and may enter the top 8 on in a few weeks if results favour us. This is a million miles away from Cas at present. Hence we can be optimistic without being smug and thus we have a chance of top 8.

What is so difficult to grasp - even through the cloud of bitter ignorance that obscures your mind it's all fairly obvious.

Thanks

Quote: DAVE@CAS1990 "Ben for me was incredibly inconsistent with high shots - for both teams, but Wakefield maybe got their penalties at better times/positions than us.

That being said, as much as it may have helped Wakefield's cause a couple of times, the scoreline in the end summed up the match.

Wakefield were the best team for 55 minutes
Cas were the best team for 25 minutes

37-16 pretty much Bob on.

In defence of my own team, in the first half every time Cas had the ball someone took a knock, so they were knackered after half an hour defeding pretty much constantly. Wakefield then scored 13 points which for me were the crucial scores'"


How did you get them figures the game only lasted 73 minutes eusa_whistle.gif eusa_whistle.gif

It's a separate mathematical universe, this thread. And it'll have as much impact on the reality that the rest of us share as the letter to the head coach posted above.

What really amazes me is the fact that the thread is about a letter to Ian Millward and we have loads of post debating what mid table is and about wakey's team.

Lets face it milward will probably still be in charge for the next game, the players dont play for milward they dont buy into his tactics etc. you are also losing fans because of effort and performance something needs changing and fast!!

I know of 2 regular cas fans who didnt buy the gold membership due to milward being in charge and being sick of the crap performances last season.

Rangi needs to concentrate on playing rugby rather than making cheap shots which might get you playing better.

You havent really replaced Danny orr. Jordan Tansey is a full back centre winger not a half back. Jamie Ellis is alright but not a class player you dont win games with only one half back

Thank You trinwildcat10 for your comments.
When supporters of our neighbours talk sence about our own team I think "Its time to listen"
Something needs changing
