Well done last night, you played poorly for long parts and still got a win that has to be good in anyones books. Cas are their own worst enemy at times and it showed last night as well as against the Wire.
A tougher test next week to Saints and it will give a better indication into how you are going this season.

Still too early to say how any team is going to do though.

Also Super League Grand finalists, another challenge cup final, 9's comp and fairplay award

We needed the result and that is a boost. We had a good sized slice of luck and it was a far from convincing performance against a team that played erratically. Overall, a small but very important step in the right direction.

If Rovers can hang in grinding results on slow, wet pitches its looking good if / when summer rugby finally comes....with hard grounds and a fast mobile pack.

The fast mobile pack is a myth really. Most sides have mobile packs. Hull have 3 props who are pretty lightweigh, a 2nd rower who wouldn't look out of place in the centre, and a hooker who has played centre for Australia. There are no plodding packs in SL any more and it's about which half backs can get their forward packs moving around the field which will be the telling factor

Yes even Hull FC. Or have you conveniently forgotten you have debt?

We no longer do. Did you not see our accounts that we published early which stated we've paid off our directors loans in full which were our debts.

the result was defo better than the performance, but as they say, thats the sign of a good team, to win when your not playing well.
IMO we seem a little bit off the pace at the minute, our attack isnt firing, our defence out wide looks shoddy, but we still won, hopefully things will come together quickly and the points will keep coming

Agree a wins a win..however you have taken 2 wins from 2 teams who performed poorly, you got a spanking by 2 teams who will be competeting near the top. I do not believe you can be considered a good team at this stage, major improvement in many areas needs to happen quickly.

I think smudger is counting his pies before they come out of the oven, especially as a few of the ingredients are nearing there best before date...
