Jumping to conclusions a bit there. You haven't seen who is going to leave yet.

Gilmour will replace Ferres.

Who is also not very good.

I would suspect that Hauraki replaces Ferres (if true).

McGoldrick - Tansey
Arundel - Shenton
Orr - Ellis
Youngquest
Ferres - Hauraki
Jones - Gilmour
Snitch
Hudson
Mitchell
Jackson
Davies
Grehan - Webster

Not at all.

1 - Brierley, Owen, Tansey, Clare
6 - Tansey, Chase, Ellis, Brierley
7 - Chase, Ellis, Johnston

Youngquest - Rhys Williams?

Williams is on loan and we haven't signed him permanently.

Brierley & Tansey can play scrum half too, that's 2 players that can play in all 3 positions. Good for injury cover and changing the team up depending on the opposition.

Edited to reflect rumors.

Basil says he's well down the track on an Overseas winger to replace Youngquest.

I know that hence the ?

I think we could replace Paul Jackson & Ryan Hudson with two forwards from the U20s (Fleming & Martin) and use Danny Orr as back up to Clark / Milner at 9.

Tansey can't.

Tansey's best position is 18th man.

Guess we have to give Tansey a chance, but with so much previous at other clubs i think we will get our fingers burnt on this signing.

At least he is only on a 1 year contract. He will have to impress because this will be his last chance at Super League. He will have to play well to earn a longer contract at Cas or to put himself in the shop window. If he doesn't, he will be out on his ear at the the end of the season.

I think if he knuckles down, he could do ok for us.

It was Dewsbury he played for, not Batley.

He was in two title-winning Leeds squads (even if he didn't play in the grand final).

And he played 7 successive games under Brad Fittler at the Roosters in 2009 so must have some talent !

He's 25 and must realise its now or never so how about giving the kid a chance ?

hes a good larker on his day ,just got to get his head down

I don't think Cas have any choice but to try to recruit some rough diamonds or unknowns with potential (Chase probably fit both these categories when he was signed). We can't spend to the salary cap and we aren't a club that internationals are fighting to come to. If he's prepared to knuckle down and give his all for the shirt he deserves our support.

Mixed feelings on this one, certainly has some talent but has seemed intent on wasting it in the past, but i cant imagine he will cost much and its only a one year deal so may well be worth the risk, when he puts on black and amber he will have my support.

As I've said to some mates, I think he is an improvement on Ryan McGoldrick at a fraction of the cost. Win-win for Cas as I see it. Millward must've laid down the law to JT before signing him so I'd expect him to toe the line.

I do hope so, lass that works with me said 'i've heard cas have signed my mate jordan tansey, he's a right wreckhead!

Interesting comments by Basil in rugby league press today.

Apparently, Tansey kept calling him and the club and pestering for an opportunity. Millward also did his homework and spoke to several people including the RFL's Emma Rosewarne.

Sounds like Tansey is eager to make amends and Millward made it clear in the article that it was his last chance.

Basil mentioned all that on our website last week, and after the farce at Widnes last monday, I considered pestering Basil for a game too!

Hope he works out for you,I thought he was o.k. whilst at Hull,but he was the biggest mug to himself whilst here,had as many warnings as a Sinatra last concert.
