Quote: ThePrinter "Depends what kind of steps you want to take. If Cas are to continue being a top 4 team then falling short will only be tolerated for so long. The biggest step you could take as a club is winning silverware and McDermott would give you the better shot in the playoffs.
McDermott wouldn’t have got you playing more attractive rugby but you would’ve probably stood a better chance tonight. One of his finest hours was winning away 13-12 to Wigan in the 2012 playoff semis without the suspended McGuire.'"
Ultimately, 11 of 12 teams fall short every year though.
At that time Leeds had Sinfield to call on.
At the moment, Cas have no big-game player. Potentially, Hardaker could have been the one and with him I think we’d likely have won something by now, if only he could keep himself out of trouble (which he can’t).
I think Powell knows what we’re missing though. In time Mata’utia could be this player, but he’s only played a handful of games for us.
