Jeffries as a crowd puller now that's a new one. The majority were tearing up their season tickets when he signed a 3 year deal!

Not if you never intended or believed you'd remain in SL. You're making the critical mistake of viewing RL as a sport - shame on you.

he's no crowd puller, but a side with no go forward whatsoever is exactly the opposite of a crowd puller.

It's not a script you need to have read either, you just know it will happen!

Re: Jeffries. I can't see why he's missed tbh. Moore was looking good I'n his few games and hopefully will pick up where he left off.

A large chunk of the team are preparing for the crusaders game by jetting off to the sun for a few days. Lets hope its for the r&r and not just for the beer.

That's an interesting point, and presumably you think that Mr glover believes one of these points?
If its the case, why do you think he believes this?
(i may ask you for proof!!)

Whatever they do in training during the week quite clearly doesn't work so why not?!

Hickey?

Cas were relegated under P&R when they finished second from bottom. The bottom club that year was an expansion club - Catalans. Same situation you now find yourselves in with Crusaders.

It was a massive injustice to the players & the fans (as it is this year) and I expected history would remember it so, and I also expected it would make the game a national laughing stock.

Turned out it barely caused a ripple even within the game, let alone outside of RL.

It also turns out that 5 years later history doesn't really remember anything about it, outside of Castleford of course.

But that was P & R, and the rules (stupid rules!!!) were set at the start of the season.
This is not about P & R and the rules seem to change from week to week!
The franchise system taken on its own, who do you think is the fourteenth best SL club, and on what grounds?

Slightly different situation but none the less a fair point - I have to admit I'd forgotten that little detail.

set and voted for by the clubs. i had a lot of sympathy for cas at the time. however at least they got to fight out their fate on the field of play.

maybe they'll be binned and not us, truth is that they've kicked our backsides massively on the pr front.

I seem to remember Wigan were in the mix that year as well - until they cynically breached the salary cap knowing they wouldn't be held accountable until the next season.
