Castleford-London Summary

[Hightown Tiger]

Well I said I'd do one of these for every match, and just because the players aren't putting the effort in doesn't mean I won't.

Castleford 34 London 42

Attendance: 4710

Highlights: The full time hooter.

Lowlights Too many to mention, here's a few.
-Graham Steadman-what has gone wrong?
-The performance of the players. No one stood out yesterday for Castleford (some were average, the rest were appalling).
-When it became clear we had lost the game (around the 60th minute mark)I would have liked to have seen the likes of Kain and Brambrani on the pitch to give them some experience.

Estimated Cas fans 4690

How were the Cas fans? Gutted, bewildered, astounded(you get the picture). We don't deserve this and like I have said before something needs to change urgently.

Comedy Moment Nothing was funny.

In a nutshell There is now a real danger that we may be relegated after tonights performance. I know its still early in the season, but I can't see when we'll get our first win.
The problem at the moment is most players aren't performing and it is up to Steadman to drop these players, regardless of if they are his mates or not.
I've been to a few academy games this season, and although the first team is a big step up from the academy, there are some players who would play with pride such as Brambrani, Kain, Bravo. I'm sure these players wouldn't do any worse than those in the current first team.

Please note these are my views and not those of the supporters club

Yes, A very bad result, Lose against Wakey and it could be the end for Steadman.

We had three and a half years of that at Huddersfield, but things improved overnight when a ruthless coach arrived. I reckon you should be good enough to survive if the players are sorted out.

I agree, a more ruthless coach (Mal Reilly?) would get rid of the 'old mates' attitude.
The likes of Maloney, Greenhill (you Aussies may remember him, he has been very poor for us), Harland and a few more should be dropeed for the Wakefield game.

Like you say, the Wakefield game is a massive game. Wakefield always raise their game when they play us (like we do when we play Leeds) and defeat should be the end of Steadmans reign. A defeat will also push us very close to relegation even at this early stage.

I bet Really would be love to get back into SL. Before he came to Hudds I thought he was a good appointment for us but for some reason it didn't work out.
