It is very hard to say something positive when you have to experience a game like that. Cas were very ordinary but better disciplined and fitter than us but Wakey were dire. They looked like a pub team. I can see nothing but another kicking on Monday and frankly it is difficult to see when our next win will come.

Exactly right

Pains me to say it but I disagree. Castlefod have some very impressive forwards who moved them up the pitch with great power and speed. Carney is frightening. Shenton is a very impressive centre. They are a gunuine top 6 side THANKS TO APPOINTING A COACH WHO KNOWS WHAT HE IS DOING

Id agree with this in the main! We have a mixed squad with regards talent. I'd say we have two world class players in Clark and carney backed up with some good players in shenton,huby,hauraki and millington who IMO is one of the best overseas players in the comp.


One thing that keeps coming out of the club and from darryl is the culture within the club is now first class, players enjoy training and enjoy been together,you can't under value those qualities in a club it's infectious from top to the bottom of the club from the terraces to the board room everybody has bought into it and long may it continue.

Darryl Powell deserves great credit has does Danny Orr and Ryan Sheridan who were all good players in there own right but the biggest factor has been Steve gill whose enthusiasm and love for the club is there for all to see.

These are qualities that small clubs like ours must have to have any chance to succeed against the bigger clubs.

Wakefield had it under John harbin and can have it again but you need the right people steering the club!!!

Carney isn't World class by a country mile but he is a superb domestic player who terrorises other average to poor domestic players. Put him up against another very good defensive player/team and he doesn't look quite the same.

Clarke is international standard but you don't attain World Class until you can consistently stand out against the best in the world, he might do that in future years but he hasn't yet.

Huby is another international standard player but still hasn't had the chance to step up yet. Shenton looked second best to Collis until Collis picked up an injury but Shentons a very good player if slightly past his best maybe due to injuries.

Cas are a decent team who are very well coached and have three or four excellent game breakers who will capitalise on the half chances offered when opposition teams fatigue.

Totally agree but I would love him to play for us.

However if I had the pick of 2 SL wingers it would be Joe Burgess and Tommy Makinson
