don't know why we bother if where going to put half a side out and get stuffed what good does it do ?

At the game, some promising stuff from the youngesters but no match for a full Cas side.



Might even up in second half if they bring off some of their senior squad.

24-0 at halftime. Hull have been poor. Cas playing like it's a cup final

rubbish to say they've been poor but it's men vs boys at the moment. Really not sure what we are suppose to learn from this.

To see how the fringe players are and how they will handle a competitive match,don't forget nearly all of the 1st team squad played all but 1 match last season and what would the point in slinging them in.It always happens on here during friendlies...people moaning

I'm not moaning I'm asking the question what's the point in playing a young side against a full strength team and get hammered what does that do for us or our mental toughness and confidence why don't the coaches come to an agreement about the standard of side they are putting out because what do Cas take from this themselves, and I am now waiting for a cas fan to come on and say they where at half strength themselves lol

You are moaning.

It was men v boys until the last 15 minutes or so.

It was to see if any of the youngsters/fringe players are capable of making the step up.

Some people need a dose of realism.

Griffin and Michaels gave a good account of themselves as expected but I was impressed with young Wray.

I'll have a moan.

Don't get friendlies on boxing day. It's nostalgic tripe in my opinion. A nod to the past. It's a long way to seasons start and hell of a lot of pre season work to be done yet. It could have had slight use with a competitive team out. Kids v cas at cas never stacks up to a useful run out imo.Seeing kids is great but they really need working in along side 1st teamers. Not on mass v a top end team.

Wasted time and effort for players fans and given score probably coaches

Don't agree. They were poor for a lot of the game, including some of the first teamers. But these things happen in friendlies with a young team. Hopefully they'll have learned something today, as will radders. On the plus side Litten was excellent when he eventually came on.

Yer you said that first time hope Cas got something out of it a more competitive match with equally balanced teams would have been better is my point but you seem to miss that

Well that's your opinion and you're entitled to it but I don't agree and I guess you didn't go.



The friendly was a means of generating income and a chance for people like me to enjoy a game of rugby.

Each to their own.

didn't go but looks like no injuries which is the main thing, its a friendly and a blow of the cobwebs game, gives the kids a go and general fitness boost for others,
