I was delighted as a Rugby League fan to see Castleford in the CC Final and understand what a remarkable achievement it is etc etc but however quaint and heroic it was for Castleford to appear in the CC final it does nothing for our reputation as a top drawer sport to the wider non believing public'"
Castlford are not a quaint little club....like it or not for large parts of modern rugby league history they have been a major club. rugby league is not massive sport nor is it massively supported. Cas like us for many many years were always there and there abouts, winning the odd final, getting close to the top of the league and playing a nice brand of rugby supported by enthusiastic if average rugby league crowds. back in 1990 when we went to wembley no one said that was quaint and When Cas went two years later that was absolutely no different to our attempt at beating the pies.
talk the game up where else would a town of 39 thousand people take twenty odd thousand to wembley.
Surely it's just as quaint when a team of miners and shepherds from little Wales (population. 3 mill lots) win the six nations over massive England (population 53 mill).........???? It's either quaint or just plain to me.....
talk the game up at every opportunity.....
