The Last 4 Matches : Sat Aug 26, 2023 9:02 am
So we’re down to the last month of Superleague fixturesWakefield Vs Sts
Wakefield Vs Catalan
Leigh Vs Wakefield
Wakefield Vs HKR
I think Applegarth needs to go immediately, it’s way too late but if there’s any chance of it a ‘new coach bounce’, even if it were for just one match, it would probably represent our best chance of getting a win. We’re certainly not going to get a win if we continue as we are with Applegarths selections, tactics and his inability to inspire anything out of the current squad.
If that’s not going to happen, which I don’t think it will, then Applegarth needs to do something radical like picking different players, giving them an opportunity and hoping that those selected will bring some enthusiasm and energy to the team. Even if that’s just to say a big F You to Applegarth for ignoring them all season!
Obviously we’re still limited to the squad we’ve got but there are some options that might help us show some fight.
I wouldn't normally want to throw young players to the wolves but we desperately need some spirit and fight from somewhere. Looks like Lynne and Jowitt are out so enforced changes there anyway.
Dagger, Senior, Croft, Pratt/Law, Franco, Kay, Gale, Fifita, Bowes, Bowden, Tanginoa, Griffin, Whitbread.
Tison, Eseh, Salabio, Atoni
It might backfire or we might discover something but if we don’t make changes to the Coaching and /or the team we are going down with nowt but a whimper!
Castlefords final e fixtures are
Warrington Vs Castleford
Castleford Vs Hull FC
Wigan Vs Castleford
Leeds Vs Castleford
I don’t think they’ll win any of those but as things stand they don’t have to
