well i am another whos voting with my feet enough is enough love the club but carnt watch another tm half time show i didnt get a season ticket this year (lucky me) (i always wait for the recruitment first not the richard wright money grabber early bird as they call it) but have only missed one game catalan,we were lucky really to hold on last week against celtic yet again we couldnt control the game and after half time just clung on to what was a very bottom of super league clash to me which is daja vu at wakefield last night good first half forget the rest.recruitment has being very poor what with the on and off saga with clayton who to me is a nl1 player and tony martin said it all.terry matterson carnt get the best out off his aussie pals so to me he has to go,snitch is half the player he was last year and now is a half back?,higgins has no speed and is on the widders diet,sherwin thinks hes captain and does what he wants taticly,clayton?wainwright? the list goes on feel sorry for shenton,westy.mcgoldrick who to me still have a go.we have talent flocking through the junior ranks what carnt get a place buy hey as they say "us aussies stick together" say no more
a really big change is needed at castleford and i know i am just another ranter but i am another ranter who wont be paying anymore money in to the club with matterson in charge i know its not only down to him but its a start in a shake up what is needed for players and once a proud well supported club

Dreadful game last night. Two poor teams on show, we were just lucky that you were as bad as you were. Any top side would have ripped us both apart last night.

If rumours are to be believed some of the players went around Xscape last friday night,you would think after that performance
and the fact they were playing again on monday they wouldn't be out,this is the problem with the players they act like an amateur side.

They are paid professionals they should be acting more like one,i have nothing against them having a beer now and again but we have a serious booze culture at the club,and is it any wonder when once at Pontefract races the whole squad was there and the one in worst condition was the coach.

You hear this at every club when things go wrong. There is nothing wrong with it. In fact some australian sides consider it vital to being a team and struggle when a player doesnt join in. I once spoke to Chris Anderson who said the best thing to do when a team is struggling is get on it for a day. The NRL has much bigger booze issues than us and it doesnt prevent them producing quality RL.

I dont 100% agree, but that has no bearing on the performances. I live in Warrington and they are always out in Stockton Heath where I live, my mates in Widnes, St Helens, Wigan and back home all report the same about their players.

The game has a booze culture. Nothing like it was pre super league, but its there alright. But I for one prefer that to the footballers in a hotel culture in the round ball game!!

In australia the clubs let them out but not in the run up to games,and given the bad publicity over there in drink related incidents are starting to clamp down on it. Plus their training regimes,strength & conditioning and diet plans they have in aus it probably doesn't effect performances. Not sure it applies to our players though.

So a post Wakey synopsis of what's going wrong?....Answer - Matterson he cannot get the best out of the players regardless of the ability.


Do Wakey have a better team than us? Do Wakey have a better team than us? In which case Matterson should have recruited better. Perhaps we have a better team than them!!! In which cse Matterson can't get the players motivated to play for him and has had more than a fair chance to do exactly that.

Our performance, on Friday was rubbish. So is it a case of can't play? or won't play? Either way it spells out time for a change and the names Matterson and Sherwin come to mind!!
