'Cas party like it's 1999' inferring its first semi since then.

Have they forgotten 2002 when Tigers gave Wigan a run for their money at Headingley then ?

Re: Bloody League Express : Mon Jul 25, 2011 9:08 am  

That 2002 game sticks in my head so clearly, I can still see that Mitch Healey awful pass attacking down Brett Dallas' wing that bungled forward when we were pressing them and they essentially scored the clincher from that play (From memory don't forget so might be sketchy on facts)

Gutted, especially as Mitch was great for us and probably only made 2 mistakes like that a season, but wish he'd picked another day!

Oh, and on topic, League Express should have a sub-title "never knowingly insightful"

Yes, but accuracy would have spoilt a Prince-related headline.

I noticed this but what makes it worse is that on a earlier page they correctly state that our last semi final appearance was against Wigan 2002.

The mistake has been made by Phil Hodgson and has not been picked up on by the editor.

I don't think it's a mistake, merely an attempt at a catchy headline.

Maybe the party was just better in '99 than 2002?

I was just staggered that a guy who'd written a book on Castleford recently (20 greatest including Ryan McGoldrick ) couldn't remember the club's last Challenge Cup semi-final appearance.

Was it 99 or 02 when Flash dropped a walk in try pass?

My mind is going fuzzy with age.

02. Wingers in 1999 were Freddie Mercury and Big Ern
