Quote: nottinghamtiger "Whilst there is a very good sense of team togetherness at Cas, over the last two years we have had a core of players who would get in most SL teams (Shenton, Carney, Gale, Roberts, Lynch, Huby, Millington, Clark, Holmes). As yet, I don't see players of this quality at Salford although I'm hoping the likes of Ben Jones-Bishop and Mason Caton-Brown begin to realise their potential soon.
Whilst I agree with the OP in some respects, the game is not played on paper and it's down to the coaching team to get them playing as a unit and to their potential. However, even playing at full potential I can't see the current squad making the top 8.'"
You have to think those players a couple of years ago were pretty average. The likes of shenton was pretty average at saints. Clark and holmes were still young. Gale never really kicked on. So for me i think Powell deserves a lot of credit. Probably the best coach in the league!
