We're not going to win every game so maybe it's not so bad that we've lost one early to keep player and fans' expectations in check. At least it was an entertaining game unlike some of the bilge we saw last season plus I'd have been more worried if we'd been beaten out of sight or, even worse, played well and lost to a side likely to be around us somewhere in the league.

Isn't that what happened, or don't you expect to be challenging towards the top end?

Tit

I reckon I'm one of Radfud's afore mentioned Keyboard warriors !

I never take a defeat well except one at the end of a long winning streak when it's clear a loss would help to break any complacency.

Last Season we beat Cas at home twice and last season we were awful.

The season before we drew at home and we were the worst in a long time.

The 2013 season we beat them 52-0 and we were absolute poop that season.

In 2012 we beat them home and away. You see the pattern ?

So roll on 2016 and the mighyt FC bristling with new Talent and Size. A loss at home to Cas for the first time since ...well ??

WHY ? Outcoached ? definitely !

Defence - conceded 45 points at home in 2 games and it's only Salford and a Cas side we always beat.
Last season 2015 we conceded 50 points in first 2 games at home.
The 2014 season, Radfud's first in charge we concede...you guessed it....50 points in first 2 home games.

A leopard never changes it's spots. Radfud has always been far too out of his depth for me.

We have a squad that's amazing this year and they will get us into the Top 8 for sure.

However we need a WORLD CLASS coach to make us a TOP 3 side and give us a match v Melbourne Storm in the WCC.

Also the stats say that wherever you are after 9 rounds is usually where you finish give or take just 1 place up or down. Check the tables and history as it's quite uncanny.

I've never been more convinced that the only missing ingredient is a coach as God bless Adam has totally sorted the rest.

We must beat Wigan. They are vunerable for sure.

No, we didn't play well. We were miles off where we were against salford and les cats but still could have won. Our defence particularly was poor, giving you too many easy yards and too much space on the edges.

Nothing to do with the better quality opposition then?

You definitely were better opposition. Well organised, quick and hard working. As disappointed as a I am that we lost, it was a good game that was in the balance until the final minutes, I can take those defeats (as long as there aren't too many of them!!)

Thought they were two very well matched sides. Thoughts Roberts was outstanding for you guys. Looked like doing something every time he got the ball.

Yes, Roberts has taken some time to settle in but seems comfortable now and him and Gale work well together.
