I would just like to publicly thank Vastman for the abusive pm he has just sent me.



It must make him feel really big having to stoop to such ridiculous and infantile actions.

If you read it again, CAS FAN clearly states in no particular order.





From what ive read, seen and heard cas are performing well at this time and FWIW they were playing good rugby last year, however didnt have the go-forward or good defence to get the results.



This year it seems they have improved tremendously in these areas. However as the "you will captiulate in 2nd half of the season" term has been applied to us wakey fans on numerous occasions. Who says cas will sustain these performances as they dont really have any form on sustaining results throughout the season (well apart from poor results(little joke

)).



Good luck to cas in achieving the top 8, and hopefully we'll see both wakey and cas in the play off's at the end of the season.

So to answer my question, if you had the players out I mentioned will you be performing as well as Wakey?

Fair enough it just looks that way with Leeds and Saints at top. FWIW here is my top 8, in no particular order





Wakey

Leeds

Saints

Wigan

Hull

Hull KR

Wires

Cas

Wakey are performing well at the minute (pained me to say that) if we had those players missing that you metioned then we possibly wouldn't be playing as well as you, no. So the question i ask Kear is why change a winning side when Rooney etc do come back ?

If you're Vastman i claim my fiver

Well players such as sculthorpe and henderson have come in is because bibey and stosic have picked up knee medial ligament injury's.



Brough and latu came back last week because obst and drew were injured by a hamstring and shoulder op respectively.



George and Murphy are back because dave halley has gone back to bradford and since martin is playing scrum half, cant revert back to centre to enable gleeson to go on the wing.



When these injured players come back, they will (once match fit by playing in reserve games) come in in-place of our youngsters with not alot of SL expierence to not burn them out. And it will allow us to play different teams depending on the strength and weakness of the opposistion.

Wasn't that exactly what happened last year though ? And you went on a terrible run. Anyway i'm not bothered because in two weeks it'l be 1-0 to Cas in games

On topic apart from the obvious 1st & 2nd places any side could finish from 3rd to 12th, it really is that close. Im just happy once again my team are competing where we should be and with a great crop of youngsters we're going to get better before we get worse





Fancy a CC run though 2002 since we had any sort of run

Sorry to drift o/t - ish last year kear brought in the injured big name players straight away without any warm-up games, dropping others, however once injured players come back they will have to earn the right in 1st team by playing well in reserves.



Anyway cas wont finish 4th, didnt say they couldnt.

They look a decent side but we were very poor last night and scored more tries than them. They will make the playoffs but top 4 is a bit much.



Top 4 imo will be (in any order):



Leeds

Saints

Hull

Rovers

You didn't play well because our pack were far superior to yours last night. Your pack had not been dominated so far this year from what other have said. They panicked a bit and ran out of idea's. Teams rarely play badly for no reason.
