| Quote: anarkik "We've been very unlucky with injuries this season, yet again. However, some people were only too willing to swallow the idea that our crop of youngsters were the best going and this is where Macca's legacy would be demonstrated, that has been proven not to be the case, there are certainly some decent players emerging, but certainly no more, or of any higher quality than elsewhere. This argument was used to help sustain Macca in post long after he should have been out of the door, and the culture of failure and the lack of character that set in over those years is difficult to get rid off. Unfortunately some of the senior players seem entirely compromised by that culture and it may well be time to look seriously at getting rid.
I would also now begin to question whether Potter is up to the task of turning that around. Perhaps we need to look at the new breed of coaches and assistant coaches that are coming through the NRL system and give someone the chance to step up along the lines of Brown, Maguire and Robinson. Our defense this year has been appalling, and the ease with which we collapse is familiar from past years. Our attacking play is little better, it's poorly structured, lacks fluency and there is nothing which demonstrates any consistency. Most apparent though is a complete failure of leadership, stupid penalties and ill discipline, all now part of the clubs culture. I would have expected from Potter an improvement in defense, better discipline and the installation of a more robust team character and a desire to win. If that had happened, losing wouldn't be anywhere near as painful. My fear is that our failure becomes Potter's failure, this failure reduces his opportunities in Auz and he gets another contract and we're back in the Macca scenario again. I'd really like to see the same cutting edge that is applied to marketing get applied to coaching and playing staff, if you can't make any measurable difference after a year and indeed if we're going backwards (including the juniors) then either account for yourselves or consider your position.
I hope Potter's got a coherent narrative to explain what's happening, he's an honest guy who has had past success, but I would like to begin to hear how he accounts for the failure of this year.'"
Great post

| Hi
before i start i need to say i'm a cas fan but come in peace!!!
Just an observation from myself who obviously only get to watch your team when you are either on tv or playing us, but we were 18-6 down and i said to my friend we are going to win this my reasoning behind this was your lads looked out on their feet and had only played around 25 mins (sorry can't remember exact timings) they honestly looked like they were the team that had played the mid week game.
Anyway good luck for your remaining games and to those that travelled to cas today thank you for making the trip

| Well all the soul searching doesn't help, fact is we don't have the calibre of player we had 5 years ago and just have to accept that we are a mid table outfit at best, we aint got money, a quality ground or a big name backer like all the top teams have now. We got caught up by the others, then got overtaken and we'll just have to live with it. I hope upon hope Potter can turn it round, he did at Catalan and look at them now. Time will tell.

| Ok so sack all the coaching staff, thats easy, how about the difficult bit, who do we get instead? Terry Matterson knows how to drag a club out of the gutter and atract some good players, Jason Demetriou (Keighley 35 Swinton 30 by the way, wish I had gone) as an assistant??? Any other thoughts anybody?

I don't think anyone is saying sack all the coaching staff Martin.

Fair enough he's injured at the moment but i'm just commenting on when we played Salford at home, Briggs was the best player on the pitch, creating and scoring try's and the next week he gets dropped. But Herbert has several poor games but yet he still gets picked. Poor coaching if you ask me.

The Briggs/Jeffries combo looked good in the two games that we won on the bounce only for it to be cruelly broken up.
But saying Herbert has had several poor games is plain wrong when his kicking got us our first win at Haedingley in four years.

the same type of fans as your lot who celebrated in a similar manor when beating Leeds at Headingley 2 week back?

Think Ah Van's kicking should take more of the glory in that game.

Bitter?
We celebrated because we hold ambitions to be a top eight side and challenging for honours. Today's victory moved us closer to securing a top eight position.

Fair play to Cas fans in my eyes. Heck if they didnt celebrate it would have angered me more as it would seem like it was an expected victory for them as if we were just a notch. The fact they celebrated makes us look better than we are!
