You spend more on your salary cap buying players from us, whilst we replace them with better players from our youth squad for free. Local players will always give more to their club and that's a fact. That's the reason not 'incompetence'. That said I love Cas Hull games and follow FC as my 2nd team so i wont take no cheap shots. Let the best side win.

Transfer fees don't count on the cap.

At the risk of being pedantic transfer fees don't count on the salary cap and i'm really interested to see the research about discretionary effort given by a player to their local club versus playing for a non local club..... fact?

Yes, which is what I said originally. Is there a point to this?

The KC should be a fortress for us, it was for most of last season.

I sense Leeds and Wakey will be mentioned in the next reply

Totally disgaree, and if Rangi Chase is in the mood on Friday he will rip us to bits, bit like he did in our friendly

Yes we did win it, however it was no walk in the park and like I stated Rangi Chase scored for sheer fun on several occasions., also our form since that friendly will hardly have Cas quaking will it...the points shipped past us this season so far is shocking and Cas play expansive rugby.

I'm fully prepared for us to lose on Friday night, but performances in the pre-season friendly prove nothing one way or the other.

Well I suppose you are right, we won the friendly but have gone on to be pants, and Cas lost and are sitting sweet in the league, ...the only consistent thing we can take from the friendly is Rangi Chase will rip us up if he is given the chance, if Quins can put 30 past us how many will Cas manage

Mate, I was complementing your club for making the most of their limited financial situation and complaining that our club are incapable of taking advantage of their own situation. It is incompetence on the part of my club I'm afraid .

And transfer fees don't count on the cap

No real point, I was just taken aback that you've finally come off the fence and made a real statement.

So SHOULD we be winning games away at the likes of quins or SHOULD we be applauding their efforts when they do as it's something we wouldn't expect?

You obviously don't read my posts.

We should always applaud winning a game, sport in unpredictable. Quins would expect to beat sides like us at their place. You can never just expect to go away from home and win.

It all depends on ambition really along with other factors like injuries. Rovers would expect to beat Salford away but never and injuries probably had a bit to do with that. Circumstances change from week to week.
