The biggest thing for me this year is we have key players in key positions. Its vital to have that "spine" which this year is something we do have.
1 Mathers... For me Our first reconised full back for many years, probably since Jason Flowers.
A very good marshaller of the defensive line, never shuts up. He's going to act like a defensive captain IMO.
Good at joining the line of attack, runs well with the ball too.
6 Chase.... Well not much to say about this guy, pure genius. One of the most skillful and elusive players Ive seen in a Cas shirt. Just leave to do his thing, with a lot of weight off his shoulders this season, going to be in for another big 1
7 Orr... Oh Dannnny boy!! He's back. More experienced than ever. This years Captain and a natural leader at that, going to take a hell of a lot of pressure of chase. Going to bring a lot more composure, when we've got that "lead", a lots less silly mistakes when its time to play ABC rugby.
Deep down bleeds amber n black....."could be" his best ever season.
9 Hudson/Milner..... Milner is more than capable IMHO to stepping up to a first team regular, showed some real quality. Going to allow us to rotate probably the more tiring position in RL. Huson for composure, Milner for break down tired defense's.
Youngquest.....A natural winger, lots of pace, something else weve not had in a long time
Emmit.... A real big unit, like a young deano, showed with St's last year including a GF he's more than capable.
Fozzard... Another big unit, An old timer. Might not get much game time, but when he does, going to give us some experience and go forward.
Isa... Dont know much about him THB. But for some reason, really looking forward to him playing. Seems a good bloke and a "team" player. Powerful and quick?? We shall see. Hope we unwrap another gem
Aspinwall... Dont know nothing about him really.. Highly spoken about tho from Hudd's fans.
Owen.... Going to be like another signing for us really. Just hope he continue were he left off.
One I am looking forward to see'ing a lot of this year is Walker. Not the brightest by all accounts lol this guy's pretty mean, really looking forward to his game this year.
People are saying were going to struggle without Shenton and Westerman. I TOTALLY Disagree. Shenton last year, just wanted to run out his contract, his heart wasnt there IMO cant remember him breaking a defensive line last year, might miss his defensive side, But Arundel who reminds me of a earlier shenton when he's got ball in hand, he'l do a job, might even out shine shenton.
As for Westerman, good business in my eyes, no way near worth keeping for another year to the tune of 100k plus, he would have only gone for free end of this season. Seem to have gone stale and a little of the rails. But both will have good seasons at new clubs.
Matterson..... The ships been stablised. Ive never knock him as a coach, but this year is time to deliver and go out on a bang!!.
For me....Dont laught, Im going for 6th Place.
COMMMMMMON TIGERS!!!
