You describe TMs dumb team selection yet you have no idea who should have played at hooker ?!

The fact of the matter is, we have run out of options due to injuries. In normal circumstances he wouldn't have played there, but it's a case of playing players in a position they are used to. Not ideal, but not dumb.

Fair comment. Maybe the point I was trying to make, was the fact that it was obvious a change had to be made within the game as it wasn't working, so call it what you want, but the sign of a good coach is being able to change it if it's not working. Chase was poor on defense yesterday, purely because he had to do more than usual in the middle of the park. Jones played there the other week and what I am saying is don't put someone there if they are needed so much elsewhere - it's like putting Steven Gerrard in the nets at Liverpool!!!.

He wasn't! He was better than most of the players he played with, but that wasn't very hard.

You played incredibly well, and you have every right to be happy but don't take it too far. Some of your fans are coming across as quite obnoxious.

Coming from from a fan of a club who thought it was a conspiracy they went down and thought they had a divine right to win the league and be back where they 'belong'. Of course, that isn't obnoxious.

As I've said before, when Cas went close to Bradford the other year (not as close as this game not) you were all saying you should have won and that you had a great team full of SL quality players yada yada, where is the difference?

But that was the club, not the fans. That's the difference.

It was the fans as well. I went to the game Vs Wakefield when you got relegated back in 2004 and the fans outside (in the heat of the moment granted) that it was a conspiracy and shouldn't be going down.

Edited for accuracy etc.

FWIW This is the first I have heard about an alleged conspiracy regarding that season.

Let's not forget though that Haighy and a few others from the 'Fax board love having a pop at us for stuff like this.

I've mentioned this earlier in the thread actually.

We were saying the same when we only just lost to Bradford in the '07 Challenge Cup. We were in NL1 and we lost 24-16 and then the next year when we were in SL, we got hammered by them. Teams raise their game for one match when they've got nothing to lose.
