There's always the possibility that two players may come available down the track that we can use to strengthen the squad too.

Key is getting memberships signed up, get it in people's faces, get banging on doors around Cas, get the players calling up fans. Spread the word and get Cas positive again.

no chance of finishing in the 8 imo

I see cas very much in the same as wakefield the last season if they can avoid injuries then they will be there or there abouts for the top 8 at the end of the season. i know you've lost players thru retirements but the crop of youngsters you have coming thru will be there when u need them. Blood the youngsters like cas do and see where you go

There might be a few Salford players available soon. They haven't started selling ST's yet and if the funding from the council and peel holdings doesn't come through they might not see the start of the 2013 season. Some of there fans are even calling for the club to resign from SL with immediate effect !

Ryan Boyle ?

I expect Cas to be fighting for the 8. When you review last season, there were several reasons why the side underperformed such as Injuries, Chase in & out, Deadwood, Millward's loss etc

I can't see any reason why you wouldn't significantly improve especially with the professionalism of the signings made.
