"Castleford's biggest home crowd of the 1991-1992 season wasn't quite 12,000 while on average they'd sit around 6000 but the noise, the chanting and the singing just blows you away" - Tawera Nikau "Standing Tall"
"I can tell you the atmosphere was extraordinary at Wheldon Road on big days. The ground held around 15,000 people, every one of them close to the action on the field and the noise would be enough to send a rumble through the town" - Malcolm Reilly "Reilly - A Life in Rugby League"
Tim Smith can do anything Chase can? Awww he's had a tough time off the field, so what? Didn't do Rangi any harm.
But yeah,Wakey are deffo going to finish in the top 6, probably make wembley, 1 step from old trafford and man of steel will be split between Motu Tony & ben cockayne.
Would that be Chase- IMO Tim Smith on his day can do anything Rangi can, he just has/has had other issues. or Milner- Eliis is as good, played very well in a poor Quins team in 2011. or Clark- Wildie is a better prospect IMO or Huby- Paul Johnson will be better than Huby & IMO having watched him week in week out is as good now as anything I've ever seen from CH. or Emmitt- or Arundel- Mellars/Collis, as for home grown I'd say Walshire has the potential to be better than Arundel too!
IMO Fox beats Youngquest hands down, Charlie beats Goldy.
Got anymore? Orr being better than Isaac John, well having only seen him play in 2 online & watching DO's slow decline all I would say is "watch this space".
As far as I can see the only player who you've got over us is Chase & if Tim Smith can follow up on his potential (which he will be fully supported in doing by WTW in all areas of his life!) we can even trump you there.
Bring on 2012, bring on the maulings!
If you actually believe what you have typed you need to up your meds. tim smith as good a rangi is the same tim smith who failed so dismally at wigan or another? wildie better than clark? has wildie had top sl and nrl sides after him? if he was as good as clark you wouldnt have signed ellis and obst as clark is far better than ellis and has far more potential. Johnson the second rower is as good as huby who was the form prop in sl before his injury last year, pull the other one mate.
Well done you have just lost whatever small amount of credibility you ever had.
Don't to forget to add Paul Johnson and Oliver Wiles (possibly Lautiti stepping into the front row) to that list. I would disagree with you all the way on that one. I could be generous and say your four first choice will be on similar ability to ours but as you can see our depth and option of rotation makes me think we are better equipped for the long campaign. Comfortably better equipped I would say!
Or rising star Matty Wilde to step into that position who impressed last year and bags of potential probably more than Milner and as much as Clarke. Motu Tony is also available to cover in that position. Considering our depth is stronger I would again say we are better equipped for next year.
Don't forget to add Issac Luke to that. Plus we have players that are more than capable of dropping into that position such as Wilde, Washbrook and Morrision.
Orr I feel is at the end of the road, he's clearly lost a lot of pace you have to have questions marks about whether he can keep the pace especially come business end of the season. Chase we all know is first class and he is basically a one man band. The lack of depth you have after Chase is a really worry. At least last season you had Widders to drop into that position which I thought was one of the strong features of your game, something that you will miss for sure.
Considering our real strength in depth in them positions it's hard to argue that Cas will be stronger. Just hope your one man Rangi show doesn't get injured because you will be in real trouble then.
They aren't our only 4 players who can play prop you know, massey, nash, martin and snitch can all play there. Strange how you include your fringe players when comparing depth but not ours. wildie isnt in the same league as clark and milner. We have other players who can play in the halfs too, brierly, goldy, thompson can all play in the halfs. orr is organiser, pace isn't the main asset he needs to posses, deacon has played a big role at wigan the last few seasons but hasn't had pace in years.

Motu Tony is also available to cover in that position. Considering our depth is stronger I would again say we are better equipped for next year. - - Are you taking the mick you idiotic Wakey fan, you can't even spell Wildie's name right you nitwit, so your telling me Matty Wildie and Motu Tony are in the same league as Milner and "CLARK" then you are on a planet of your own, remember pigs can't fly
I could easily see us beating you 4 times next year.
The friendly, MM & BV+WR.
Even Fully's worried about your recruitment now & as Dee put I too subscribe to the theory of you being a "one man band". Personally I think there's only one reason your recruitment's going so badly: finance. I will give you your dues in that you have never gone bust & have been better managed than we were under Uncle Ted- You pay your bills & never spend beyond your budget. Fair does, I do respect that. But if your recruitment's being so poor that must say something about your business plan. As we've demonstrated at WTW small steps can be inexpensive and increase revenue streams exponentially.
What ever happened to Mr Probiz & wanting to get into bed?
Before you starting quoting me from other forums, I was actually stating my disappointment that we had not replaced the people that had left.
Our starting strongest 17 would still beat yours IMO.

Comfortably too, the full strength team last season was beating the better teams in the league. Add in the young players have that extra year of experience and a new coach with fresh ideas and a better conditioner (that is the biggest gain this off-season, a better conditioner)
Some talk of Bradford Northern and some of Hull and Leeds Of Wigan and St Helens and such great teams as these Of all the teams in Rugby league with me you will agree The best team in the whole wide world is Wakefield Trinity!
I have neither the time nor the energy to get into this..
Let the lads prove which opinion is more factually correct. You'll know where to direct your apology when the time comes to smell the coffee. Admit it now or stay in denial, it doesn't matter to me, we all know where the momentum in our district is & it certainly isn't at WR.

Even if you win one game it doesn't mean you're factually correct. And if you want to take bragging rights in a friendly (should you win) so be it.

And to be fair, if you class building a better team than last year as momentum you're more deluded than I though. Let's face it, you weren't all that great last season in all aspects so retaining SL licence and being able to sign better players was always going to be a marked improvement.
But, anyway, why am I talking about Wakey on a Cas forum? Oh, I forgot: it's all that seems to happen when the Wakey Collective come out.
