He's inherited teams, players and had to cope with building squads in limited time periods. He stuck with the club when he could have so easily gone back to Oz and I feel he hurts just as much as us Cas folk when it's not going right.
The young players development that we have now is no coincidence, he has played a major part in Owen, Westerman, Shenton and Hubys development and emergence into Super League.
When he joined the club, he was nowhere near (and still isn't) the finished article when it comes to being where he wants to be as a coach. There is no magic wand to wave, things take time and the lack of understanding of this from some of our supporters, is frustrating. He is growing, learning and developing along with the team. The bloke commands respect in the game and I sincerely hope we can win something under Matterson, for his sake just as much as ours.
Agreed
Was that when we beat Salford and Wigan in early May (I think)?
I suppose I'll just have to wait till I get home
