Many modern day fans of other clubs will only know Cas as a side that struggles around the bottom of the top flight - 1999 was different being the last time that we really were up there near the top since summer rugby began.
It's criminal that the club failed to invest and kick on from that season to be a side that regularly contested for trophies. Instead we gradually went backwards resulting in the calamitous happenings of 2004 and subsequent yo-yoing.
Got to be said, we seem to be in a cycle, culminating in challenging for honours, then being on a downer for a few years before rising to challenge again. Just look what happened after the 1994 season. That year we were in finals, we were winning trophies, then the decline.......
