Back to the op, maybe it is a new marketing plan by chairmen? Having seen how fans chucked money at the bulls hkr and cas seem to be using the same scare tactics to sell season tickets.

HKR have just released this:- cdn.hullkr.co.uk/uploads/documents/WeAreHKR.pdf My guess is Cas Tigers will be something similar.

Do you think maybe the tweaking of the salary cap is at fault for allowing egos and dreams take over from financial ability? To allow a 1.6m spend regardless of income? The HKR chairman moaned about losing 0.5m a year and said it was unsustainable but spent 1.6m on players. Duh! Spend 1.1m then. Don't we just have to make the cap more relevant to income again and more emphasis on solvency? It rewards clubs who achieve financial success and stops money being thrown at clubs.

Ferres at Cas is probably just throwing in some realism after the years of fantasy spun by Richard Wright, who was perhaps just running a marketing campaign aimed at licensing. He is doing the "we're in it together" line with the fans, and I hope it works. Cas are a great club in a hotbed area. And it guarantees us a few points each year.

Just because you are backing away from it now, doesnt mean we didnt see the lie you were propagating.

What was the lie?

That the crusaders were to blame for the visa issues their players had and the RFL were complicit in that and in covering up their guilt.

Though as we already know, the UKBA felt differently.

Given that we're now in the close season, administration might be a rather dodgy path for Cas' (or any club, for that matter) to follow. It's worth pondering what would have happened to Bradford if they'd exploded now, instead of in the summer.

No it isn't. Get your facts straight pal - especially before being rude to contributors to this forum.

Under the Insolvency Act, an external Administrator can be appointed with a view to taking control of a company for a temporary period of time - with a view to sorting out it's finances, & with an initial objective of ultimately returning control to the directors of the company.

Going 'bust' i.e. Liquidation, is where there is no hope for the company and so it is wound up and its assets sold off to somebody else.

As we all predicted

And you were wrong. However much you try to shoehorn Wakefield, Cas and Bradford in that criteria.

Argue with wrencat if you want , I'm bored with your pedantic pointmaking
