Castleford has been a successful RL side and during the late 1980s and 1990s was one of the most successful sides in the country. Indeed, prior to 2004 we had never been relegated from the top flight of British Rugby league. That's what I mean by in the past: historically, previously, in older times, or perhaps, here's one that might be more appropriate to your good self: once upon a time.

Try doing some research before inadequate attempts at trolling in future.

Gives you a lot of latitude george, since 1990 when you were one of the most successful clubs apart from the championhip final play offs' how many other cups have you won.

Oh the irony of Wakefield fan.

How many times have you finished in the play-offs?
How many times have you finished in the bottom 3/4?

1992 Yorkshire Cup
1994 Regal Trophy
2005/2007 NL1 Grand Final
2007 League Leaders

And the Adam Watene Trophy.

In comparison to Wakefield in those 21 years......


1998 Division Leaders + Grand Final winners..........

TBH you need to be fair to Wakey, they won the last Yorkshire Cup in that time (1993), but we also had the 1991 Yorkshire Cup as well. However, the original point made was league positions and about us playing teams well below us in the table.

Our league positions in the years I mentioned were:

1986/7....4
1987/8....7
1988/9....5
1989/90....7
1990/1....4
1991/2....3
1992/3....6
1993/4....4
1994/5....3
1995/6....6
1996.......9
1997.......10 (but premiership semi-finalists)
1998.......6
1999.......5

Excluding Wigan, St Helens and possibly Widnes, there aren't any teams with a league record as consistently good as ours in those last 10 winter seasons.

Will be a tough game. Kear will have Wakey fired up no doubt. Wakey have played gutsy this season and haven't been the easy beats that people expected. Having said that we should have too much for them, and after last nights game at Quins i would hope our boys will be fired up and go all out for the win.
Cas to win by 12.
Att : 9,476

Just for you Towns!

Hahaha!

I hope thats not the case because never have I wanted us to demolish a team so badly. I'm in Australia for our last game against Wakey in August, so all being well this will be the last Cas V Wakey game Ill be at. Boy do I want us to give them a hiding.

Re: Castleford v Wakefield : Sat Apr 16, 2011 6:35 pm  

Without seeing the squads and knowing if we picked up any new knocks.

I recon Wakey will have an 8 point start on the coupon. If Wakey are within 8 points they will win, if Cas are going to win it will be my closer to 20 points.... Don't think there is any middle ground.

Att - 9800
1st try - Penny
MOTM - Huby
