Cas back in super league

[851]

Castleford have belted Widnes 42-10 in the NL1 grand final to regain their place in the super league for next season.
This was a record NL1 grand final score,eclipsing the 36-8 beating Castleford inflicted on Whitehaven in the 2005 decider.

Congrats Cas (also to Fev who got up in the NL2 GF).

Excellent crowd too (was it a record for National Leagues GF day?) of over 21k (pretty much capacity at Leeds?).

Danny Brough was the architect of Castlefords dominant display (he's returned to Wakefield for next year where he came through the Academy).

He is IMO the best and most skillfull Scrum Half in Great Britain!

His kicking game is as good as anyone I've ever watched in the game, Australian, New Zealand or any other.

He has a supeb range of passes and a decent turn of pace.
He is as cocky as hell, has a solid hurtfull defencive game and is supeb organiser.

His career has been stalled because of his one failing, ATTITUDE!

He seems to have sorted his head out and now needs to show his tallents in SL (again) in order to press his claims for a GB shirt.

If it were up to me he'd be in the squad now!

Welcome back Cas!

Welcome back Cas!

He is a class player,he turned down a super league contract for this year to get Cas back in the top flight.
Just wish he hung around to enjoy it.
Will need a decent half from somewhere to replace him,hope they get one.

Well done Cas. Facing a disadvantage assembling a top flite team for next season from here, but hopefully they'll be able to plan for a few years of building rather than burn cash in an all out attempt to have instant success.

Danny Brough has talent, a great goal kicker as well. Time will tell if he's developed any further than his Hull SL debut season, until then talk of GB squad is premature.

Cas have signed Scott Moore on loan from St Helens, i'm tipping if he gets a fair go at hooker he will make the spot his own. This is just the chance he needed.
