| Quote Tigerade="Tigerade"Well - I enjoyed our 15 minutes of fame whilst it lasted, nice to have the Wembley trip in the bag as well, but although some are looking forward to the Tigers returning to our usual place I am thinking about this season which we still have quite a lot to play for yet. I don't know where the "massively inflated expectations" are coming from either. Certainly not me. We have always been cannon fodder - just like Trinity.

Nah!
We had a decade (albeit a long time ago) when we dominated the game and were arguably the best team in the world, Cas have never done that!
I'm enjoying Cas's games thus year though, they're playing good attractive Rugby League, although I wish it was us and hope it don't last

Point of Order, Wakefield haven’t always been cannon fodder, unfortunately those that remember have one foot in the grave  .
Don’t try to suggest that Wakefield & Cas have travelled along a parallel course, yes, maybe the last twenty years, but our trophy memories consist of a C.C final in ’79 & a Y.C win in ’92, as opposed to numerous C.C finals (including victories) Regal Trophy success, not to mention the Floodlit Trophy.
If you’ve had fifteen minutes of fame, we’ve had a nanosecond.

| Cas were supposedly 30 minutes from administration and yet they managed to keep that info under wraps.
Trinity were supposedly a week away from administration and our "fans" were falling over themselves to be the ones to spill the beans on here.
You've got to admire the loyalty of the Cas fans who were in the know in those dark days.

| Quote PopTart="PopTart"I don't think they will fall quite so far next season. Their new signings are not that bad.
The key is to keep Powell and they seem to be doing that.
They need to replace Clarke but not as a hooker necessarily. There are other hookers that do a good job and they have a kid coming through that looks preety good. What they need to replace is the guy who makes the breaks. Clarke was breaking the line for fun but they can get a second row who does the same or a centre.
Hard to do, but they don't need to replace like for like.'"
You've just about nailed it there. FWIW with the salary cap now finally taking effect I think the league table will change quite a lot each year and we will all get a chance of a good year or two.
Good coaches will become more important than ever. Just look at the difference Lowes has mad at Dulls

I'd bet a fortune alcasfan did, but he was too busy salivating about our predicament to mention Cas's dilemma.

| I was going to say that too, how many times did they delight in sounding our doom, and ignoring it was also happening to them. It's like when politicians realease bad news to cover up messes by themselves

Although better than a kick in the head or anything we've managed I think you're a bit behind the times on this one.
Long gone are the days when a CCup final turned a club around or built them a new stand - I suspect compared to Cas or our own debt it's a help but not a cure by any stretch. Ditto the play offs.
I suppose the real benefit will be in season ticket sales and sponsorship deals/packages for next years - something both clubs are not due to their crap facilities able to capitalise on is a way Saints or Hull FC are.

I can't see us playing WTW on Good Friday next year. Won't Rhino's want a new derby rivals now that Bulls have been relegated ? Wakey will get Hudds.
I won't be surprised to see Leeds Vs Tigers at Headingley Good Friday 2015.
