Despite their classy monicker, Cas under Powell always had a few players who got under the opposition skin in one way or another - Watts, McShane, Millington, Massey and Gale weren't angels.

So how have we ended up with a mute pacifist as a captain, and a set of forwards impotently standing around whilst a scrum half struts round verbally bashing us?

A doughty, workmanlike pack gave the wakefield halves enough space to look like Kenny & Sterling.

Could our current coach, and the architect of our Challenge Cup downfall not see then the problems he took advantage of would hinder him as well? A lack of backbone, no mental toughness and a huge reliance on two props?

Apparently not, and that is why a man who should be nowhere near our 17 is skipper and starting at prop.

And there's me thinking Daryl had no sense of humour.

Over my head this.

I would just buy a prop.

The loss was against a good team with quality hardworking players across their squad. The fact fans just dismiss Wakefield like we are above them is arrogance. Super league is so much closer in respect to all teams and people just don't seem to realise it which is misguided. The match was 50/50 before it started so give Wakefield some respect rather than just sating we were really poor when we weren't. We have Mulhern, Daz Clark, Charnley and possibly Magoulias added to the squad next week which will strengthen us further.

Why stop at one?
Why not two, three or even four, like we did a decade ago. Let's face it, we don't have one PROPER prop. ATEOTD, Cooper is (merely, but a good) bumped up second rower.

I've said it before, our pack consists of second rowers, and that's it.

Totally agreed.

It’s becoming a stuck record but what troubles me is everyone of us amateur fans foresaw this, yet our professional coach and his team together with all the decision making people at our club didn’t.

I’ve said it before , stop the vanity project and let’s have some sanity.
