Thats one of the things I miss about the TS era. I bet we've given away more penalties in Bluey's first season and a bit than we ever did in Ts' 4 season at HQ.

how about last season? we were pretty good,this year is awful though i would agree. however bentham has shafted us three times remember

10 games ago you were saying how brilliant he is.

Get real. One defeat to the Bulls and a few inept performances does not make a bad coach/team.

This time last year Saints had lost 5 out of 10 league games, and were not playing well. They then won every league game, won the CC and got to the GF, only to be beaten by a better side on the day. If you get to/win the GF this year I bet you won't be saying "Bluey out"

Start of last season we were awesome, everything clicked. But toward the end of the season we let it slip, to the point that many of us turning up at Old Trafford were more hopeful of being crowned champions than expectant. However Bluey coached an impeccable preformance from us that night and lifted the team over the preceding fortnight.

Last year we seem to have had a very consistent starting line up and this season we seem to have more people filling into positions. Perhaps that's why we're not gelling as a team.

I'm hoping Bluey's statements about getting the team to peak at the right time are true and that come October we will be crowned back to back to back champions.

I do think we need to improve our discipline on the field and the amount of questioning officials(other than from the captain) seems to have increased this year too.

Once the player perfect Blueys style of play then we’ll be unbeatable. Until then it’s a learning curve. If you want instead gratification success then more fool you!

Go support Castleford Tigers if you like classy rugby!

You know it makes sense!

This has to be the worst thread ever. Judge it at the end of the season at the very very earliest. We never won anything under Tony Smith for 2 and a half years after his first year of success.

Tony Smith has a reputation for running a tight ship re discipline. Bluey gives the impression he's more chummyy with the players than TS was. That's not a bad thing perhaps but maybe the squad aren't as concerned about behind the scenes rollickings re discipline than they were under Tony? Just a thought.....that said I wouldn't change Bailey's discipline in the league match against Saints

After yet another unrecognisable performance is it safe to say Mc Clennan out?

We still have nearly the same 13 that 3 years ago would have blown that rather average bradford team off the park last night. Its as though McClennan is trying to get the team to play his style of rugby league which lets be honest aint working. Last night for example we threw the ball about like the leeds we know and twice bradford couldnt get near us.

He's doing his best with what he's got...however we started the season obviously lacking in the three-quarters, and it shows...time we forgot about the NZ back row road-hog, and started looking for a Centre
