This can only be good news for us. One has to assume that Radford will be itching to get back into it and would leap at the chance to start early, making Cas more likely to release Powell somewhere down the line (though we’d have to see a dip in their form for that to be on the cards).

I’d like Henderson to get the assistant job at Cas, he must’ve been hoping for the top job here and anything lower than super league is a step backwards for him. I wonder whether Salford will be on the cards if their disappointing results continue.

Briers needs to be looking for something in the championship and work his way up, if he wants to stay in the game.

Its a very good and reasonably obvious point, you make.

I think both clubs are getting away with it at the moment, due to the lack of crowds inside grounds. I can see once crowds are back & either Wire, but especially Cas, have a bad run of results, then there will be a huge pressure to make immediate changes to the coaching situation.

yeah, but cas have got injuries, yer know

At least the current Cas coach doesn't make anything of it. He works with the 17 he has in his matchday squad and you never hear him moan about injuries. Ever.

Personally I don’t care how much moaning, criticising refs or governing bodies is done by a coach as long as we are doing the business on the field. Michael Monaghan was the biggest whinger to refs on the field but I had no issue with it as he was still producing the goods.

There’s a difference between trying to influence a decision on field and a bitter epilogue of how the world is against them.
