| Quote deeHell="deeHell"I attended last nights game as a neutral and these are my thoughts I'm sure you'll appreciate them.
Huddersfield's cynical game slowing tactics were in evidence yet again. You have to credit Nathen Brown, his players manage to slow the play the ball down with accurate expertise. Teams are going to have to learn to emulate their style off defensive play if they want to compete. Its looks like the refs are going to tolerate it so why not try and play in that style! Does Matterson have the foresight to adopt such tactics? I personally have my doubts.
Now Cas looked very poor, I had to laugh when I saw Mcgoldrick at Full back, why him instead of Owen? All I know is Mcgoldrick is sat on a nice juicy 4 year deal all he has to do is tread water till the last year of his deal, maybe then you'll get something out of him then. You should have let him go to Wigan when you had the chance. Wainwright, Clayton and Higgins are not SL standard. From a neutral perspective I would describe it as woeful !'"
Nice to see that you're right on the button with these comments. Not that you were trying to do any trolling, of course - quite the reverse. This was an honest post that was not intended to belittle the Cas side at all.
So, now you've had your little rant, it's interesting that you haven't come back and continued this honest assessment of the qualities of the Tigers' side since Friday night. I wonder why that could be.....

7th in SL last season doesn't mean anything then?

=#8040FFNo because that starting 17 was good enough to finish 5th and the defence was shocking most of the season.

| That being the case, how much attention was paid to that by any of the tipsters who had us down for a below play-off finish before the season started? And indeed, as Shifty and Raz were out injured for a major part of the season, the starting 17 didn't play much either.
TBH, Bradford and Warrington had much stronger squads than we did, so did Leeds, Saints, Huddersfield, and Hull. Where a finish of 5th comes from, I really don't know, but from squad strength I really can't see it.

Give your head a shake, that squad performed well above expectations to get in the play-offs and you are saying we should have finished 5th? I am utterly incredulous, just face the facts, you don't like the man instead of coming up with BS statements like this.

So where were you predicting us to finish at the start of the 09 season?'"
=#8000FFAt the start of last year I predicted Cas 5th. This year I'd expect at the very least 7th, but if the defence is as good as the Leeds game most weeks 4th isn't out of reach.

If you lot finish 4th then Matterson should be given a limo for day to day duties

I struggle to believe anyone, even the most rosed-tinted Cas fan, would predict the team that finished bottom to come 5th the next year...
Anyway, there isn't a single coach in the world that would have got last year's squad to 5th position - imo anyway.
