| Quote: nottinghamtiger "For a club spending significantly less that the teams above, and indeed many teams below them, to miss out on the last play-off spot in the last game of a season when the squad has been destroyed by injuries since about round 10 is not exactly failure.
Added to that a cup semi-final that went to golden point it's hardly a bad season.
And to be honest, I'd rather finish in 9th than finish 7th by manipulating the system.'"
Oh come on, spare us the moaning about your injuries, the players you’ve lost are hardly world class. I think your over rating Huby and Emmitt. Of course they played well in early season this was mostly down to the easy schedule you had in the first half of the season. Many ordinary props can look good smashing into out of form defences. Most of your injured players have been replaced like for like in ability terms. If you had these available now you would have still lost the games you did, the truth is your squad isn’t good enough to cut it at the business end of the season. What you don’t mention is the good fortune you’ve had with your star man Rangi Chase who I believe has been the difference between winning and losing several games. Been a one man team you should count your blessings in that department.

How the hell am I trolling? I thought VT was for general Rugby chat I didn't realise I needed other fans approval before I could put my balanced opinions on here. Obviously I've touched a nerve!

From the man who supports a team that didn't win a game all season without Morrison.

Well considering what you posted was incorrect, bias drivel it's hardly balance is it?
If you take 13 players (including 4 props) out of ANY team in Super League they would struggle just as much as Cas did when at times this season they were missing 13+ players.
As for out of form teams too, Emmitt was ripping through every team in the league until his injury, a vastly under rated player who will only get better as he gets older, same goes for Huby.

I have a couple of sites in the Ferry Fryston area and if you want to see truly ugly women, take a trip down the Stansfield Road area or Park Dale area, its like al fresco Jeremy Kyle.

Exactly, Morrison has had his fair share of injuries but you didn't hear us moaning about our injuries all year. We had the cheapest squad in the league and finished in the position you expect.

So your star player that basically runs every attacking move in your team has an injury free season, do you not think that’s good fortune? That good luck more than off set the bad luck you had with easily replaced players that was injured!
The reason you dropped down the league wasn’t due to injuries it was due to having an easier schedule in the first half of the season. The same cycle repeats itself every year, a mediocre team will be camped on the edge of the top 4 usually due to an friendly early season schedule. The inevitable drop down the league as the better teams time their run of form just right for the play offs, the mediocre team just can’t keep with the pace. The cream rises to top eventually!

Well considering you play the same teams twice, having an easy first half would mean the second half is easy too

Would it?
What about the ratio of Home and Away fixtures and who they're against? And the order of games differs too.
