Don't think it is any coincidence that despite spending loads of money, they seem to have got worst since Agar went there.

Absolutely spot on Dave! took our club from top four to bottom two in 4 years, he's not lost his touch! Red letter day for me when he left.

Maybe. Last year 4th place at the split was 28 points, so they'd need 14 wins from 19 to achieve the same.

Unlikely on current form which is why I said pushing the top 4

cas set off like a house on fire in 2015 and fell away, wont get too carried away yet

Only fell away because of injuries.
Pace,power and move the ball fast to the wings
Tip them this year for Challenge cup and grand final if they can stay relatively injury free.
They will be too fast for most teams including us.

nobody knows what will happen, they may go injury free, they may not

too many people getting carried away atm with them, yes they have been great to watch but they have been fortunate to have a leigh side who weren't upto speed on the first game, wire who are missing the best players and a poor leeds team

they have also been fortunate with the weather! favourable conditions compared to other games

cas are good on the eye, IMO will be in the mix but wont win anything,Wigan still the team to beat,

Re: Super League 2017 : Fri Mar 10, 2017 6:36 am  

Lets not forget that Widnes started last season with 6 wins 1 loss. Including a 56-12 win against Leeds & 46-6 against us. They soon fell away.

Hmm..Cas juggernaut rolls on and depleted Wigan looking very solid. A right scrap at Wakey today. Next few weeks could be interesting, Cas have Salford, Catalans and Huddersfield next so will likely go into Easter unbeaten.

No way Cas are dropping off. They've every thing you want in a team. Millington lynch Holmes Patrick cook massey will have a scrap with you and dig in
Moors macmeekan macshane Lafao will cut you up and pace and flair galore in the backs. Love the look of Minikin. A beautiful balanced winger. Plus the cover in most positions. Especially 1 67 and 9. Can lose either chase or gale and replace with Roberts. Spent most of 2016 with props n hookers playing 6
That said I still think wigan are the team to beat ultimately.

Wigan still the team to beat for me too. Cas won't drop away, nailed on top 4, but I'd like to see how they get on in a proper scrap with the likes of Wigan or ourselves before I start talking up their title chances. Their brand of rugby is great, but it's generally not what wins trophies. Wigan, Cas and Hull will be the top 3 with some breathing space imo. 4th could be very interesting. Widnes aren't in the race for it, and I don't think Huddersfield are either, but you can make a legitimate case for anyone else.
