Could also draw comparisons from LUFC circa 1991/92 and 1992/93 and more recently Leicester 2015/2016 and 2016/2017 with messrs Wilkinson and Ranieri.

That pack though.

so five mins for Baldwinson and Ormondroyd, 60+for Delaney?

Time for Singleton to stand up and performed like a senior prop. chance for Mullaly, Ormanroyd, Baldwinson, to show they can make it and are not just project players. Walters to show he is good enough for Super League full stop. This could be a career defining game for these players.

Yes, the whole club had a terrible year for many reasons. It happens.

More importantly, are you saying that him steering the club to a record number of trophies somehow doesn't reflect his coaching ability?
You're not saying that are you? You can't be. Aside from Gotcha and our resident Alex Jones there's no one else on here that's that silly, surely.

I am not saying anything all I am trying to clarify is your view point?

My point on McDermott steering the club to a number of trophies is: he inherited the core of a side that had won the GF in 2007/8/9 even you have to accept he inherited a winning culture and key personnel?

What he did proved to be good at was devising specific game plans for specific games.

Surely coaching as about development of players and on that score I am not convinced he is a good coach. The lack of talent coming through the academy and the general lack of improvement in younger players would question his coaching ability.

Can anyone honestly say the attacking structure of the team suggests coaching of a high quality?

At the end of the day will McDermott leave the club in a better or worse position than he inherited? That is very unlikely to be the case

Hi guys, I posted a few weeks back asking about ticket availability. I live just outside Edinburgh and am heading to York tomorrow for a long weekend, and I realised I could kill 2 birds with a stone.
I get there 4-5pm, so I really want to go to the Cas game, but havent had the chance to get a ticket, so is there a cash gate, or some other way of being able to get in if I just turn up at the ground.

I'd seriously consider buying a ticket over the phone to collect at the ground as our Country cousins are somewhat lacking when it comes to a big crowd.

My mate got turned away last year as he expected to pay on the gate only to be told he was unable to do so.

You've named two players in that squad that haven't been included in the 19. However I do agree they should play, but won't.

Thanks N S F. When you say phone and book a ticket. Are you talking phone Cas or Leeds to book. If I phone Cas will I not be in their end, or would they sell away tickets too.

I'd say phone Cas to be on the safe side. However, I'm not sure if Telephone communications have touched down in the WF10 postcode as yet.

Saying that, I'm reasonably sure their floodlights run on whale fat and not elektrikety.

There's no segregation. Best thing to do is buy direct from the Cas website here, you have to register but it only takes a few minutes. You can then collect from the ticket window next to the training pitch (Main stand side) before the game. I wouldn't bother ringing, you'll struggle to get through. https://app.eclipseticketing.co.uk/en/d ... 17/reset/1

We don't have an away end so you'll be around some cas fans no matter what in all likelihood. Hopefully that doesn't put you off

Don't worry. Unless you are buying a seating ticket, at Castleford's ground a standing ticket lets you stand anywhere you want.

In the standing areas, obviously....
