Nice article on the Tigers by George Riley : Fri Jan 29, 2010 8:53 am  

On the front page of the BBC Sport website. http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/georgeriley/ ... eason.html If the Tigers are to succeed in 2010, then giant prop Mitchell Sargent must continue the bulldozing displays he turned in last season. He may have softened up, though, having become a dad for the first time.

Offiah also thinks KR and FC will both finish in 8th place.

I reckon 7th or 8th for Cas this season would be fantastic, I'd be happy with 9th or even 10th as long as we take care of some other areas (stadium, contracts for Shenny and Owen, bringing some youngsters through etc) and have no 50+ defeats.

A few more home wins would be nice as well but considering pre-season (impressive win away followed by defeat at home) I won't get my hopes up!

That was the story of last season, brilliant away, garbage at home!

Sorry but we have to show an improvement on last season, top 8 is the least we should be expecting, agree the stadium is of the greatest importance but on the field performances have got to improve, especially at home as you say Stu. It should be fortress Wheldon Road if what the players say about our home games is true, but maybe the atmosphere lifts the opposition more than it does our own players?
