I appreciate the "journeyman" type player (or whatever name you'd apply) as I think every good team not only has them, but needs them. I think this originates from bringing my lads up - one of them played 2nd row for Churwell juniors. He wasn't great on attack, and didn't get enough passe...

Challenge Cup Castleford Tigers v Wigan Warriors 14th April, KO: 15:00 M Com: D. Milburn Referee: L. Moore Reserve Referee: C. Worsley Touch Judge 1: W. Turley Touch Judge 2: M. Craven In Goal: D. Arnold In Goal 2: G. Jones Time Keeper: P. Crashley Liam Moore. What could possibly go wrong?

Great performance, but we've still got more in the tank. Lets save that for the last 10 matches though. Does anyone think that Faz, great servant though he has been, is not anywhere near as effective this year? He's always lacked size, but he's made up for that by running excellent lines and making...

Signing him came as a big surprise to me. I never saw the attraction and still can't if I am honest. However, in a salary capped sport, maybe his signing made sense and allowed the purchase of other players? I don't know. He is "just about" ok at the moment. About the same as I expected.

I thought that if the ball was on an arm that was touching the ground then it was a try.

Have the rules changed or have I been wrong all my life? (and I have scored a few like that too, so it can't just have been me!!)

I've often thought about the merits of playing 6 props in the forward pack.

Obviously some would have to do more minutes than others, but in principle I think it would give a significant advantage if implemented correctly.

Since when has Good Friday not mattered? Ok it’s not a cup final, but it’s far more than just another league game. If we have extra gears to go up, we should have been using them on Friday. We need to celebrate when we play well but not be afraid to call out poor performances. Friday had too many p...

The game is definitely changing and not for the better. Games hinge on decisions to send players off , for what are accidental tackles that hit the head of the opposition player, who as Percival, go into the tackle lower than normal. This will always happen, even if they do bring in the tackle to b...

The ref was bad but didn't lose us the game. Our discipline was shocking. Yes, some of the decisions looked harsh, but unfortunately that is the game in 2024. Learn to play within the rules or lose games. Our attack looked blunt (again). Our interchange strategy looked "odd" to say the lea...

Let's not pretend that this means he will be here for 5 years.

However, still good news and a very good centre imo. Must be one of the first names on the teamsheet.
