Well at least they've still got a chance of winning one.

The Cas players have a photo under the sticks after every win. We're a family club with a family spirit and it involves the fans. I don't see why people find it so hilarious that a club acknowledges their fans.

Must have won our cup final about 6 times this year then. 6 cup finals this year. That must be a record?? :/

Cas have photos under the sticks each week. It's part of our water boy (Matthew merrick's) photography company for his website.

I think it's great. Why not involve the fans. Reminds me of Dortmund (obviously on a different scale). Fantastic nonetheless. Well played today.

And Shaun Wane looked like he had lost a cup final in the changing room. We did a photo under the sticks when we beat you at home as well, was that our cup final also?

Got to say though, from the reaction you'd think Cas won the cup today. How many times do you see the entire squad and coaching staff posing for a picture under the sticks!

one from the Hull KR match with the players kids

Jeez - enough already, I get it and have already acknowledged it, truly shocking I didn't know young Mr Merrick was taking pictures at every game to commemorate one of those rare seasons Cas actually win more games than you lose.

BTW because some of you apparently fail to understand, this is only banter. I actually hope you go on to win the CC and get to OT (not at the expense of Wigan again, obviously).

Ha it's just a thing we hear a lot when we beat 'big teams' and act happy about it, "you acted like you'd won the cup final" etc!

To be fair, without knowing about the team pics, it kinda looked that way.

I'm probably far from alone in hoping a team from outside the usual 'big' sides can achieve some success, even as a Wigan fan. I'm enjoying the way are Cas playing this year and they were absolutely the better team today. Wigan were poor, especially in attack, but Cas were dominant - more enthusiastic, outstanding in defence and way better going forward.

They did to Wigan what Wigan did to Leeds a few weeks ago. Now go on and win it.
