Wouldnt say shoe in , but I agree Parcell has been your standout player this year.As a running hooker he has been head and shoulders above Roby , Clark etc. But Houghton and Mcshane are different types of hooker. They are a third pivot who both excel with their kicking games and tackling rather than scooting from dummy half and cresting space. Cuthbertson hasnt been anywhere near Watts , Millington etc as best prop either. Parcell might get in just ahead of Mcshane but Cuthbertson no chance.

What a suprising opinion from a Cas fan


McShane is known for his tackling, but has made 130 less tackles, and missed 9 more than Parcell?
As for Cuthbo being nowhere near Millington etc - the guy is top 10 in the league for number of tackles, 2nd for number of carries, 3rd for most metres in the league, has 11 tries (as many as Hardaker), averages more metres per carry than Big Jesse, and has made 112 offloads so far with the 2nd nearest player still on 70. Nowhere near? OK pal.

Parcel and Cuthbertson should be shoe ins. The only hooker to rival Parcel this season has been Roby. The rest can't hold a candle to him. McShane? Meh.
As for Cuthbertson not being anywhere near as good as Millington and Watts, that's laughable, both are charity shop versions of Cuthbertson.

Walker came past us, one of the last. The others went the western terrace route and straight up the tunnel, Singleton and Galloway went that route too but carried on.

Talking of Galloway, that distance with his injury looked a struggle.

Typical reply to anything said against McDermott.

I thought it interesting that Parcell and McDermott didn't even look at each other after Parcell was awarded the MOM. There certainly seem to be enough rumblings from the players to indicate all isn't blissful behind the scenes

Oh no, they didn't look at each other a certain way!!!! SACK HIM NOW!!!! Wasn't Cuthbertson on the naughty step last week and talk of how he's falling out with the coach and might effect his performance..,,,yet he was great and scored a crucial try.

You know that talk is too negetive for these boards, can't have an opinion on McDermott.

You can have one, it just has to be a certain one otherwise it's deleted.

Just a shame that on the final game ever of the old South Stand people are more interested in being old Wash Women than enjoying a memorable event.......Still McDermott Out....Boooo....is more important to egomaniacs who think their opinion is more important.

everyones entitled to an opinion. not just yours that matters.or only those you dont agree with egomaniacs?

On the McDermott Parcell comment.
I noticed McDermott didn`t look at Holbrook either as they passed.
What with the Cuthbertson and Garbutt goings on maybe our coach just doesn`t like Australians or only those that he has worked with a while.
Or he himself is an egomaniac

He didn't acknowledge Roby either.
Maybe he just doesn't like hookers in general

along with Australians, Germans and Academy players
