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.'"
Two decades? We were a bottom half side for about the first decade of the last two decades. We won the CC in 2009 but finished tenth in SL, it was only the year later we started to become a top side with GF ambitions. That’s just eight years.
But I do agree. Sports fans are very blinkered and short sighted. They think in terms of one year, one month, one week, one game at at a time and don’t see the bigger picture. Cas are a work in progress. Cas in another three years will probably be better than they are now. So when you get people saying things like “Cas can’t handle the big stage” “Powell can’t get his teams up for it”, these are all experiences that can be used to improve on in the future.
