"I'm sorry, but I would hope that we would beat Cas with a 1 day turnaround." An arrogant Wigan fan a few days before we stuffed them 18-4 at the JJB.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_42181.jpg



After being promoted to Super League for the 2008 season (coincidently after beating you guys) we started with 4 defeats from 4 games, including Huddersfield absolutely destroying us 64-12, we lost home games to Catalan and Quins, and put in a respectable performance against wigan, but lost by 12.

This brings me to our first win. A week after Leeds were crowned world club champions, they came to Wheldon road, full of confidence against a team with none. Well you know the script, we won easily! 38-20. History can repeat itself on sunday!

Our team in 2008 was pretty poor, we got a little better towards the end of the season but we took some thrashings. Stick with your team & back them as much as you can. You'll lack quality from time to time, but if you play with heart, then you'll get some positive results and begin to grow & fit back into super league.

Anyway, good luck on Sunday.

Thanks for the encouragement Towns88,I don't think many of us were expecting to set the S league alight but we really have to tighten our defence up as teams are going through at will.Having our main hope (Watts) injured hasn't helped at all and now it looks like he's gone for the season. However,it is season 1 for us and we'll have to be patient,just hope the support doesn't drop off as we go through it.

It's their nature.[/quote:24qn1m99] Little Pepe went to nursery school one day wearing his Widnes hat. His teacher asked him why he was a Widnes fan. He said, “Because my parents are.” His teacher said, “That’s not good. What would you do if your parents were drug dealers and hookers?” He replied, “Well then I would be a Warrington fan.” [i:24qn1m99]There's a Wooly over there, baggy kecks and feathered hair with a 3 star jumper half way up his back, that’s a fecking Wooly back![/i:24qn1m99] [b:24qn1m99]Oooh-to… Oooh-to-be… Oooh-to-be-a… WOOLY![/b:24qn1m99]:24307.jpg



Cheers, fella.

There doesn't seem to be a light at the end of the tunnel at the moment. The standard of play and organisation is abysmal. I think we could end up being the worst team ever in Super League. We could even, ironically, become the only team not to win on the ipitch.

Now that would really take the biscuit icon_eek.gif

Before the season i was really confident of finishing off the bottom, but now im really worried about were a win will come from. This weekend would be nice!

Slight difference Cas got promoted and won the play off final quite easlily...Widnes finished 5th in their previous season, and have quite a lot of new players, mixed in with last season's team. Though they should get more points than Leigh's total of 5 points in 2005 !!!!

I wouldn't bet on it. Looks more like the Halifax total is our target.

Didn't they finish with 0 when they got relegated? If so, all you need to do is stay in the salary cap and you're home free!

kcab sfrawdder Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done But he with a chuckle replied That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried. So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin On his face. If he worried he hid it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg

They beat the Bronco s in London in week one, then lost every game from then on, then had those 2 points taken for a salary cap infringement

Very good point, any team that come up via on the pitch P n R will have a winning culture and mentality. It's hard to breed that into a club that have basically been parachuted into the top flight.

Thanks Towns88!

It couldn't get much worse to be honest so I think it'll get better, slowly.

BUMP.



A couple of weeks late, but well done!!

Someone down at London said "well thank God Widnes are terrible so Cas won't be ending up with the wooden Spoon." I said I wasn't so sure as Widnes have us to play twice!
