Brian McDermott will be the next England coach IMO

Daryll Powell will be at Cas for years as he is in a no trophy wins, no sack club

His only chance of silverware there is in the challenge cup realistically and that depends on getting favourable draws along the way.
DP's style of coaching and letting his side play an entertaining style of rugby will never get the club a GF win though if they can't tighten their turnstile like defense

The Salary Cap.

Nothing precludes them.....Cas just haven't shown they have title winning defence. Warrington racked up more points than Cas but conceded a couple hundred fewer.

Last season

I don't think it's a case of just being able to defend (though that is a big part of it) as much of a case of being able to change mindset and style when crunch time comes around.

When Leeds one the treble the other year, our offense was the high point in the regular season, with defence that was ok, but certainly not stingy (from memory and personal impression, stats may say different). But when crunch time came round we were able to change our style and tighten everything up. I'm not sure Cas have that yet, and only playoff experience can really teach that. It's why teams like Wigan and Leeds and Melbourne don't tend to get written off.

That is spot on. Cas if they were to get to a GF or CC aren't going to win it by racking up 30+ points. Like I pointed out Warrington scored more last year and managed 10 points in the CC and 6 in the GF. When Leeds were free scoring under Tony Smith we competed in GF's that ended 16-8 and 6-15.

Until Cas show they can win games like that then I don't know why people are so confident in them winning silverware.
