Quote: Cas Till I Die "Darryl Powell has done the best job of anyone in any league in SL history, some of the clueless comments on here actually make me laugh.... in 2013 we had 3500 season ticket holders and the last days of Ian millward we actually got attendances of less than what our season tickets were and the whole playing staff were a joke. 2 weeks later DP came in and since then we have lost out on a LLS on the last day of the season, won the LLS, got to wembley and a GF and been a regular in the play offs..... warrington have been trying to crack the grand final for the best part of 2 dacades without success. What DP is trying to achieve at Cas is not hanging on one game.... it’s a long term project that might take a decade, however the club is as strong as ever and we are trying to get to the next level. All this is down to DP.... no other coach in SL history can claim to have done what DP has with similar resources.
Massive well done to Wigan, that was a defensive masterclass and they deserve a spot in the gf.'"
I fully agree and don't think many on here would not go along with what you have said, it's been an amazing rise and all credit to powell and his team for making it happen, you are now firmly set as a top 4 side which is quite an achievement.
That said, it is starting to look a little like Huddersfield who not so long ago were winning hub caps and playing in the big play off games but never able to transfer regular round form to when it mattered into those big matches. Everyone was expecting/hoping Cas had learnt from the experience of last year but it was a very similar performance with players dropping the ball cold, kicking on the second play, taking the wrong option etc.. time and again. That for me is down to the players, it won't have been in the coaches game plan.imo for that squad to kick on now it needs a couple of proven winners who have been there and done it to come in and instill the belief into the rest of the squad, a bit like Hull did when they got Gaz Ellis and went on to claim 2 CC's.
