I went to watch cas Friday they looked very sharp under millward better then last year don't think we will get any were near them at the moment would swap coaches any day off the week . if lose wont matter part from bragging rites would be worried if widnes put a big score against us Dow

Exactly!
We are a work in progress and will be for a while yet, there is a much bigger picture to look at here than the results of literally team building friendlies!

Don't panic, keep the faith.

from my understanding they was quite impressive against Shudds so don't count yer chickens

To be honest I would too, although Millward has the benefit of a relatively settled squad at Cas and would probably struggle with all the new faces at Trinity also.

It's a Friendly, meaningless.

We looked good last night (Cas) although I took nothing from it really apart from fitness and no injuries, if you beat us next week or vice versa I wouldn't give a...

This suggests maybe fielding the kids against Sheffield wasn't the greatest decision!

Hmm, shame really but tbh it doesn't matter, what matters is the game against Widnes and I hope you guys get your s in gear before then. Cas will probably beat you next week but don't get worked up about it, only a friendly, hell we lost to Keighley last year 46-12.

I just hope Catalan don't put a score like that past us in Week 1 -_-

Catalan have the benefit of warmer weather, playing on the surface week in week out, being at home and let's face it they have recruited well and I have them as top 4. Just putting a little perspective there

All depends on what they did in training over in France. They may well have been busted before the game. As long as they're ready for the first game of the season, when we play for points, then no one will remember this (apart from the fans who travelled over to watch it, if there were any).

Friendlies are about learning from them. The result is meaningless (and can perhaps lead to false confidence).

If we work on the assumption that it will take a while for the team to gel, I would just like to point out how well Leeds were doing in June under their new coach and who is currently holding the Super League trophy. I know we won't get that far, but give Agar a chance. If the second half of the season goes well, 2013 might be the year when we start to shine.

True.
To be honest I keep forgetting the simple fact that we have a whole new squad with a new coach. Someone on another thread was wary saying maybe we should expect similar results to newly promoted teams who have also just been recruiting, I think they might have a point. I'm looking forward to finding out though and i'm sure it will all come together at some point this season
