The 2 words I take out of that are "nearly" and "effectively".But I get your drift.Luckily for them there are a lot of FC fans that haven't experienced any of the things referred to ala Bulls/Cas/Wakey/KR.A whole generation must think Wembley is the norm?

Well, I used the word "nearly" because at the time we had to transfer list a load of players, and our coach, Royce Simmons, ended up running a load of marathons to raise money to keep the club going. "Nearly" is the only word to use as fortunately we're still here, same as you, Cas & Wakey are still here after near misses.

I used "effectively" because 1995 was a funny year due to the switch over to Summer & SL. We came 2nd bottom and went from the top tier to the second tier.

1999 our players were on strike as they weren't being paid due to the utter mismanagement from Wilby/Lloyd.

You're right, there are a lot of fans who won't have experienced the 90's and grown up only seeing a Hull side in SL. They certainly don't think Wembley is the norm, 4 from the last 11 at New Wembley isn't the norm is it, and due to the excitement this week around the club, the novelty hasn't worn off and I hope it never does.

I've seen Hull play in Division 1, and in 1999 we had all pretty much resigned ourselves to not having a club to support anymore. Regardless of how it all turned out, anyone who has supported Hull for a long time knows what adversity is.

That's sort of what I was getting at.Castlefords achievement is remarkable and it must be lovely for fans who have had it tough for a long time get some success again? I for one have enjoyed watching them and would be chuffed if they won grand final as well

Quote: cas all the way "It's chipped wood. Take a look at today's posts. Couple of players are shown scratching at the cracks. People jumping to conclusions. If they were to do lines it wouldn't be in the changing rooms in front of the coaches. Jeeeeez.'"


Nah it's obviously cocaine, I've written a GUI in visual basic which allows you to take a sample from that photo and in real time give you the results. 100% cocaine nothing else straight from Pablo's old personal stash he forgot about.

Quote: Fully "Quite frankly, I don't give a flying frig what any opposition fans think.

It ranks of bitterness. I'm immensely proud of what my side have achieved this season, it's more than most expected, and we've done it a convincing, satisfying and comprehensive style. I'd love to go on and win the Grand Final just to ram it down people's throats but in reality, even if we go on to win absolute naff all after this, I'll still be proud of it.

It means a lot to us fans when we nearly lost our club and I'm pretty sure fans of Salford, Wakefield would also revel in winning the League Leaders' Shield too and finishing top of the pile. When you've seen the dark days, you enjoy the glory days even more.

Over the years we've been treated as little Cas, always treated with contempt and as a 'team we should be beating'. Not anymore. It's about time we got some payback and I'm glad we have. Fans of the big clubs don't like other clubs roughing up the norm now and that for me is the most satisfying part.

When fans of clubs like Hull, Wigan and Leeds have seen your club get relegated, really, really struggle and fear for the future - when you've walked through the days of admin like fans of smaller clubs - only then come back and tell us why we shouldn't be euphoric about what our teams have achieved.

No one remembers the LLS. Well I remember Huddersfield won it, clearly other people do, I'm sure our fans will remember it. It means more to us and we're going to celebrate this achievement.'"


No one's saying don't enjoy it. Just don't expect adulation from everyone else because no one cares.

Your examples are terrible BTW. Hull were relegated (or demoted or whatever the f%ck happened when the league split in 95) Wigan nearly in 2006, leeds in 96 and to a lesser extent last year.

Cocky classy cas, when will they learn?

Quote: Ste100Centurions "Classy Cas !

Most entertaining & positively ambitious team I have seen since St Helens hey day.

Thoroughly deserve to be called/viewed as best team in Super League regardless of any Grand Final !

Never ever bought into this G.F Winners are best team $#!T€, 1st over a full season are rightfully CHAMPIONS in my view & about time that RL returned to rewarding it as such with the best tropy & financial rewards.

Cas, Champions in my book.'"



There's 1 tiny problem. Finishing top can't be viewed as being real champions because winning the grand final is what makes you champions. That's the rules that everyone enters into the season under. It's a mute point, a different argument. If your argument is " I think finishing top should make you champions" have at it. But the argument of "cas are real champions because they finished top" is irrelevant because no one entered into the season under the assumption finishing top qualified you as champions.

Fantastic achievement. Not just winning the shield, but doing it at an absolute stroll playing exciting rugby league.

Clear favourites for the grand final for me.

Oh no some sad w@nker on a forum says we shouldn't expect adulation for winning the league. I think we should give the league leaders shield back and turn down and accolades.... little old cas should know our place.
