If that was the case, there would be no such point in resigning him.

The reserves next year is under 20's. Therefore he wont be playing unless it is for the 1st team.

Agreed. It seems a strange thing to do. Why add to one of our best covered positions by adding a 1st team sqaud player?

I suspect we will see him preferable to Googie in the centres if we get anyone injured - expect to see him on the bench most weeks, gives options I suppose.....

Googie might not be coming back, have you thought of that one because the tony martin thing still hasnt gone away, i suppose it all depends if he wants to come back or not.

is this the Googie who's one of the 12 players currently in preseason weight training, specifically named as such by TM?

i was going down that line, but your response was class mate

Already done fella.

yet again, richard wright pulls a fast one, non stop advertising since the end of the season to get season tickets etc, then announce they are up on last season and then he hits us with the tremendous news we have re- signed ryan clayton, which to some has not been a big surprise. i admire anyone who puts a rugby jersey on but like a few have already mentioned there was other alternatives like keeping ryan boyle or bringing back michael knowles. i am castleford through and through but get peed off when wright and his mates are ramming it down our throats about things to get our money but give us very little back in return. we have give our all supporting the club through the relegation seasons and the rest and deserve better.

Yeah, didn't make myself clear. I know Massey and Davies have graduated to the fringes of the squad but the re-signing of Clayton reduces the chances of both being in the 17.

Ah i see.

I wonder how the two of them will cope with sl, we've lost 3 forwards (boyle, feather, sione) and replaced them with snitch, jackson, davies and massey, so if those two youngsters can cope we could be better of than we were last year. ryan clayton isnt the greatest player in the world but he is better than no one, and our sqaud is rather small. His tackling at the end of last season was pretty good.

Who?

Twice i've got names wrong today

think i need a cupa.

Either that or you've started supporting Fev.

Dont even say such things in jest!

Now Clayton has finally been confirmed i really hope for good progress on the new stadium next year.

The squad on the whole is light, and if we get off to a poor start or alot of injuries,it could be uncomfortable for the B.o.D's on matchdays

i could be one of the only people who think this is a decent signing, our squad could have depth for the first time in ages thanks to signings like this, the last two years we have had a tiny squad and have complained to the back teeth about it, this could start to bulk up the squad

But he isnt really a signing though is he, its not like having a new player, he is a hard worker but wont break any pots, just a squad player for me, i think it speaks volumes about the young players at Cas, if we have to bring him back in.

No, nothing wrong with our youngsters, it just speaks volumes about the pillocks who run the squad and the club.

Decisions like this really make me feel uncomfortable about our future, including the stadium.

OMG ive read this post 3 times and still think the poster is either delusional on drugs or drunk or all 3.

no just left my pc signed on and someone else decided to add their two penneth.

You haven't gone all Newt from Hollyoaks on us have you?

Just looked at our 2009 scorers and clayton didnt score a try, so this was probably all a front so he didnt have to do the nude run at the end of the season

I don't know what everyone is moaning at we have signed one of the best forwards of the modern era. He has power, spirit, a superb offload, defences don't know what he is going to do next. I am so glad we have signed Nathan Hindmarsh instead of that Ryan Bloody Clayton, 'cos if we had re-signed him I would do a great big turd on Mr Wrights doorstep.

Do you want me to send you some bog roll, or are you going to make him lick your bum-hole clean?!

With the poo Mr Wright talks he would only make my bum hole dirtier by licking it. Still think next seasons team are going to be any better Mr Wright?
