Word to the wise, when you read posts like that which are overtly critical rather than constructive it's worth noting how many posts said poster has made. In this case it 2.

I suspect this poster to be yet another incarnation of one of a number of trolls who have plagued this forum for years. Just ignore if possible until the mods have enough proof to eventually block them.

I don't mind strong opinion if the poster is honest but this strikes me as a bit snide. May be wrong in which case I will apologies in due course but I have a bit of a sixth sence for them these days.

You are probably right Vasty, his dad is a good friend of mine so I reacted a bit quick.

Its no different, but circumstances are.
We took Hadley from a team we weren't expected to be directly in competition with, course we play them twice but we weren't expecting to be competing with them near the top of the league, and I doubt the Codheads did either.
If you don't expect us to be competing with Cas in the upper echelons, I guess its ok to loan him out for game time.
I don't see it like that though, we're close enough and I hope not daft enough to potentially provide advantage to anyone in that group.
Course, its early in the season, who knows, we might not, but right now we've every reason to be quietly confident..

Good on you for sticking up for the lad


If it looks like a troll, sounds like a troll, there is probably a good reason for it.

Jowitt hasn't let anyone down, always gives 100% and he will be Trinity #1, assuming we can keep hold of him.

I don't see any advantage to Wakefield to let him go on loan.
If they sell him then fair enough.
But for me we still need him so would only loan him short term to somewhere like Bradford where he'll be looked after.

Plus Roberts will be fine for Cas and if not they have a kid who played pretty well in preseason and Eden who can play there well enough.

ben Roberts was terrible last week.......he was no where in the finals last year either...

always had the rep over here that he didn't perform in big games...

as per my tips I am hoping WIDNES beat them this week! I tipped cass are not going to finish as high this year---- let the slide begin I say

Well as they finished top that isn't too risky a bet.

Roberts was poor but that doesn't mean Powell will suddenly drop him and go get a second team player from somewhere else.
Although I don't think he's better he could just as easily go for Golding from Leeds who has big game experience. Or Hanbury from Widnes who might fancy a go higher up. Or Escare who is possibly behind Tomkins.

From Jowitt's perspective a move like this would really benefit him. Two years ago he was Super League Rookie of the year following an outstanding season for us. He's just had a year of stagnation with very little top level experience. In relative terms he's really gone backwards.

I've always thought it unfortunate for us to have on one side of in in Leeds the most insensitive yet arrogant fans. Whilst on the other side the most sensitive yet nearly as arrogant Cas fans.

You lot should re- read some of the stuff you lot post especially on that echo chamber you wrongly call a forum.

I don't hate Cas if you think that's hatred and bile don't ever visit a football forum!

If your going to play with the misters which you do and get cocky when you win which you do then you have to be ready to get shot at as indeed will we when our purple patch comes to an end.

A lot of Cas fans buy into this classy Cas small town done good idea and believe everyone else does. Truth is they do when your not a real threat but last year when you were boy didn't they turn.

At least I/we are not patronising you, our antagonism is genuine - not a fair weather rivalry it's for real. Your the number one target for most Trin fans these days. That imho is a compliment but we are never going to be nice.

Tbf the political element in WMDC has added to the bitterness on occasions which imho isn't a good thing but who can blame us - I think you know exactly who's caused that and it ain't us.

How can I be a troll I've been a Wakey fan for over 50 years & love the club & go to most games. But I've watched Jowitt very closely His defence is very poor & as i said he is without doubt a great attacker & gets most of his plaudits from that. If people read into that I'm a troll just because I expressed a view I'm sorry I have an opinion. but I've watched him since he started playing for the 1'st team & it's just something that I've noticed.

It's not very poor, it's a kid who made the step up to an exposed position earlier than anticipated. His goal line defence needs work on of course, as does Grix's even now. But look back to the Farts game and his effort on McGillvary in 2016 and tell me he can't tackle.

Time will tell.
I hope I'm wrong
