Another take to all this is this is what happens when supposed full time professional clubs don't take things like reserves and academies seriously. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’d think a small thing like having your academy licence revoked might make you evaluate things differently. Apparently not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barley Mow Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Is this a one off due to some specific circumstances (Cas having a lot of players unavailable or something)? Looking at the reserve teams' scores, Wigan have won every match and they all look to have been pretty comfortable (although 100-0 is unusual). Cas, although in the lower half of the table have won 2 and drawn 1 and are above 5 other teams in the table. Is this thread judging the entire reserve set up - or Castleford's approach to it, based on 1 match with an unusual result (possibly for some unknown valid reason)?

The scorelines across the competition so far indicate pretty large disparities between some. This particular result raises an eyebrow after all the feet stamping from Cas last year and eventual U-turn from The RFL over their academy licence that they lost and then were awarded.

Just Browny Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 1 hour ago, dkw said: This one thing happened so we must make a snap decision on everything.... Bit unfair. Proper RL cycle is to change something, slowly forget over three years why it didnt work in the first place and then change it back. Then alternate indefinitely. See also: - P&R v licencing - play off systems - England or GB - England's mid-season calendar 1 I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

The Hallucinating Goose Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Maybe there was a dog at the game. When I'm watching reserve or amateur games the fella with a dog walking past always distracts me from the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daz39 Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 I read they had 5 first teamers in too. Guess paying all the fines off from their misbehaving fans has taken money out of their development system!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
