Re: Today’s game v Wigan. : Wed Jun 21, 2023 9:19 am  
Most fans are the same, I don't see ours as any more reactionary than Saints/Wigan's etc. Certainly not the former - maybe have a look at Redvee from Mar - May. Saints were booing their side earlier in the season - their team has not crumbled, it's done the exact opposite. As Wires71 said we don't have the pressure that those sides have - Saints/Wigan fans expect a trophy each season.

I also think our fans (most of them) are now very forgiving in terms of young players making mistakes etc as long as we see improvements in the general performances and maybe some obvious identity in the side.

All sides have a blip and it will be interesting to see how we respond for the rest of the season but if we continue on our current trajectory then I think we need to part ways with Powell. Should that happen it won't be the fault of the fans.

Could be spot on here but the term "within" is very broad ... and our "fantastic fans" are a bit fairweather & crack under pressure too.


When we played behind closed doors in Covid we were still junk. :)

Don't think this has been mentioned but in both home and last sundays game against Wigan why have we had two Wigan referees?
There's plenty to choose, quality limited but plenty of them.

Smiffy27 has a bit of a downer on the Warrington fan I reckon. I think deep down he thinks the Warrington fan in particular are part of the problem and if we (the collective Warrington fan) would only be a bit more positive on the terraces, stifle criticism and never show discontent then we would see a GF win.

Weird thing is the team always gets a rapturous applause when they enter the field and cheered when they do well. The fans buy beers, food, replica shirts, season tickets aplenty and support in numbers so I don't know exactly what they are doing wrong.

White paper in the house next week to discuss the banning of disgruntled fans.

Re: Today’s game v Wigan. : Wed Jun 21, 2023 12:27 pm  
I don't buy the pressure theory. If that game was played in a field in outer Mongolia with no crowd or TV coverage it would have been the same.

There were a couple of alarming things though.
I did notice that some of the reactions of onlooking players when there was an error. For example Clark sort of threw his arms in the air when Lucas Green knocked on. Matautia does similar a couple of minutes after when Philbin drops his pass.
Also Powell's comments in the guardian regarding that play the ball states "we play the ball without looking". Now I thought that was Danny Walkers mistake but reading those comments appear to suggest the onus is on the person playing the ball to make sure everybody is ready.. maybe walker was looking round asking who is taking the first carry and nobody was putting their hand up.

Most of the errors just look like a lack of concentration. Not a great display of teamwork because there were a lot of players trying to solve the problems on their own. Looked like a lack of trust in each other

If there is a difference of opinion in the camp as to how the Mcguire situation has been handled then Powell has got his work cut out yet again to try and unite a divided team.

If that is the case then we should not let that incident define our season. What happened to McGuire is inevitable in elite sport. Sponsors like Hoover and Halliwell Jones would be asking some serious questions if we tried to keep him at the club. They would not want to be associated with anything like that.
This group of players need to pull together and as Cullen would say "circle the wagons" and give Castleford a right good hiding and start to recover the form of the first 6/7 weeks of the season.

Just my opinions unless it's a FACT, in which case it's a fact.
