Castleford Tigers released the news that Andy Last would be joining Lee Radford at the Jungle last night after working with the main man at Hull FC. But, how did social media react?
One neutral supporter believed this was the coaching set-up that caused Hull FC to fail.
I’m no cas fan and no cynic but didn’t this coaching set up send hull fc to the dogs ?

A Hull FC fan felt that the appointment would do little for Castleford’s attacking outlet.
Get used to big bulky wingers with no pace, 5 drives and a kick over and over again 😂😂

Another FC supporter called it ‘the band’ getting back together once more.

One more FC fan also called on Castleford supporters to question the reunion.
Surely Cas fans must look at how things ended at Hull and have some serious questions going forward? Just don't understand getting the band back together 😂 https://t.co/Ax395762xc

An FC fan called into question the last three years of the duo’s reign at the MKM Stadium together.
Poor first season while they shift things round, two good years follow when they genuinely look like contenders, then 3 years of mediocrity because they keep players for sentimental reasons and allow a #BoysClub culture to develop which will ultimately undermine them both.

Obviously, there has been speculation mounting for some time.
Worst kept secret of the last few months at Belle Vue.

Another supporter, however, felt it was a good appointment.
Good appointment this. Does the work. https://t.co/DsMtollv2a
