I am utterly amazed that you thought Grix had a stormer - please watch it back on the tv as i have just done and look at the 4 consecutive passes that grix throws in the second half 2 of which go over the receivers head 1 BOUNCES before it reaches the reciever and the other one just about hits the recievers boot - stormer my Jim Royal

There is only 4000 of you think so - poor attendance from a team finishing in their highest position ever in super league. No matter what happened to you tonight this was always going to be your last home game of the season I would have thought more could have turned out for the players to applaud their acheivement. Cas will be taking at least 3/4 of that over to Wigan for an away game - if not more.

There was still a chance of a home game in semi.

Attendance was crap no doubt about it, nothing any of us can do about it other than turn up to the games!

Wakey would have taken a good amount away from home, our away support is better than home support

get over it

It seemed like they wanted it more than us at the end of the day...Like to put out a mention for Olly Elima..top try scoring forward this season and cant believe he didnt make make SL XIII.

Disappointing end to season. Both sides poor for first twenty, and we were perhaps the least poor. They woke up earlier, that's all. Drew had a shocker, and maybe he felt that he had to win the game for us on his own too much. I think they played the ref better. Bentham had clearly decided that both sides could wrestle all day if they wanted, and they realised it first. The amount of time they had to complete the tackle was shocking, but they played to it, and we didn't.

The negative for me was the crowd. Very poor numbers, but we are the ones who turn up, so what can we do?

The real positive for me was Luke George. He could be a special player next year.

I suppose we were never going to win the Grand Final, but it was nice to imagine it for a while.

See you next year.

typical cas fan searching desperately for a negative to pull wakey down! very sad!!



loads of players playing out of position all season i think(no wingers all year same story at stand off and JDs days as a centre are long gone for me)

we played tonight without an out and out half back and were always going to struggle against a near full strength(and very high quality) catalan side.

time to look forward to next season and the team looks to be shaping up very well to me!!





good luck cas tomorrow, hope they beat the pie eaters!

Overall this season has been top notch but tonight we were poor.

Absolutely gutted for the players that they have finished the season in such a poor way. Catalans were there for the beating and unfortunately the occassion got the beating of us.

We paniced and made basic errors in the first halve which allowed Catalans good field position. They took their chances and simply out enthused us. We turned up second halve but the games was gone.

Proud we finished fifth but dissapointted we lack the killer touch.

Too many players turned in untypical (for 2009) poor performances tonight. The ones on their way out were the main culprits.
I know Grix wasn't perfect but I thought he was the exception in the leavers and always looked likely to create something when running the ball down the left. Got sick of seeing the ball die down the right hand side!
I know we let in a few trys late in the 1st half but the one scored by the waife Pelo, pushing four Wakefield players off, really killed us both mathematically and mentally.

Well done Luke George. Another great show.

Bad Drew...for Wakey.
Luke (warm) Robinson for Shudds.
Both match-losers.

Disappointed, but not downhearted. I thought we looked disjointed tonight, probably down to positional changes and some below-par performances. Apparently the muppets on Sky said we were at full strength, with the exception of Danny Brough - no mention of Blanch, Petersen, Bibey, Gleeson & Martin being injured. I`m not saying we would have won with all those in - but I think we would have performed better as a team.

Reflecting on the season overall I think we have progressed as a Club, both on and off the field. Certainly more highs than lows - new Stadium in the pipeline, highest ever points total & position, a tremendous season by the Academy lads, and the emergence of players like Dale Morton, Blake & Davey.

Considering the adversity we have overcome with Adam & Leon, and 3 players having to take compassionate leave to travel to Aus following bereavements I think all at the Club can hold their heads high - we gave it our best shot but came up just short. Am I optimistic for the future? - you bet I am!
