I remember watching Monaghan playing in Oz just before he came over to us. He was superb at hooker & I remember saying how he would change us for the better. When he arrived he was a pretty ordinary scrum half. Thankfully he went back to hooker & he was superb from then on.

We had Monas to play 7 on the recommendation of Andrew Johns who scuppered his agreement in a London night club toilet.

Cullen should have resigned immediately after that defeat to hull kr in the cup. It should never have got to whether monas threw out a deliberate interception or not.

What about the season before, 2005, losing 6-40 at home to Hull FC in the elimination playoff in front of a capacity crowd - and that's with Johns playing. Or the Powellesque 2 wins from 10 in 2006? Or missing the playoffs all together in 2007?

Nevermind, with a win ratio (48.9%) worse than Reg Bowden we will get to enjoy and reminisce the good old days every time we see the mural.

We were still riding a crest up until the 6-40 drubbing by Hull FC in the playoffs. Even though as disappointing as it was i quite enjoyed the 2005 season. We finished 4th and beat some good teams.
2006 not quite as good but we still made the playoffs where we beat Leeds in the elimination. I think everybody was still reasonably happy with Cullen at that point to where we were 4 years before.

Cas pitch looks good considering the amount of rain on it.

Re: TV games (not Wire) : Thu Mar 28, 2024 8:33 pm  

The amount of possession in Leeds half Cas should have scored.

Re: TV games (not Wire) : Thu Mar 28, 2024 8:44 pm  

0-0 HT 91- 203 tackles Cas just don’t look like scoring.

When both teams want to lose!

That was hard work watching that.
Back to the darts I think.
