No, i honestly think that if he can hit some form will lead the line well - he is a big bloke and an oppurtunity and game time will do him the world of good.

woud'nt pay him out in washers, i really hope the club dont intend to sign this joker, especialy after we have let ryan boyle go

He's better then Kyle Bibb & a couple of the Salford props to be fair to the lad.

I'd have been happy if he had even stood still for us, never mind 'go forward'. He had a good 08 and got a new 2 yr deal and then sat on his and took the money. More fool us.

I don't rate Bibb but would have him above Mills, I'd also take Cashmere and Luluai(sp) before him without a doubt.

why do we need a prop FFS, its a half back we need

Sargent & Huby are the only 2 good props is the main reason at a guess

Jackson is solid, Higgins shouldn't be in Super League then it's the kids.



I would too but it's the other props who are that bad I can't even remember their names

We need both. Bad signings and bad management from the club.

But aren't the quota rules about where a person was trained? Therefore he'll still count on quota regardless of his nationality?

No, the quota rules are a total mess, but that can't be right otherwise how can Wakefield have 11/12 (depending on the outcome of the Stosic situation). My understanding is that they are doing this by signing players who have been trained in Oz or other parts of the Southern Hemisphere on European passports. So, on the same basis, McGoldrick will be exept if he aquires UK citizenship.

I think Cas should be looking for a winger as well as a prop as Wainwright is not upto Super league in my opinion.

No. He signed before the rules changed, therefore he can become exempt.

You are correct most of the Cas fans know that but for some reason TM and the BOD will not agree with you but then these are the people who say they will take the club forward ???????.

I don't think you can argue with the effort he puts in though when given the chance. He may not be naturally gifted but he does work hard to earn his place in the team.

That goes for me to

Still not good enough thats how TM and the BOD see him thats why the club will allways be in the position its in.

There are championship props who i would prefer over him.

Agreed he does work harder and runs harder than most players in the team, but he doesnt score enough tries for a winger with only 5 last year and his defence can be suspect.

In an ideal world (if we could afford it!!), we could do with 3 positions covering IMO. A good strong prop so we dont see the defence weaken when Sarge has a breather, a good half back to cover for Shifty's inevitable injuries (I would like to see Brierley brought through), and a winger with pace (Wainy is a big favourite of mine due to his effort and workrate, as mentioned by others, but just not a SL standard winger - good squad player though). With this in mind, what are peoples thoughts on most important?? I know Speedy will say half back (or fecking half back depending on his mood!!!)

Are you sure you're not Tigerman1+1 signed into someone else's account? You certainly [url=http://viewtopic.php?t=437668&start=75sound like him[/url.

No and hope you are not one of the Cas fans that wood be happy seeing this player selected week in and week out.

Certainly not....... i do not need to do that. bring the lad in can he be any worse than Ryan Boyle the home grown player that we have just got rid of



another management masterstroke, but im sure you can see reason behind getting rid of a young prop local lad to bring in erm another prop of the same sort of level......come on Bonzo explain the TM reasoning behind this strange situation...

Laners ive learned that it is site suicide to show any form of criticism at all concerning TM. but ive never been a conformist and certainly not a sheep

Ryan boyle who was offered another contract by the club and turned it down becuase he wanted to be a starting prop?

Good for you, and i say it as i see it i know the difference between what we should have and who are the weaknesses within the club and its not just on the playing field.

I think Pyeman unless you have knowledge of the personal demande of a player you are not quite on the mark, i heard he want to play more first grade rugby, not exactly demanding anything but a chance, lets face it hes another player who didnt get the chances he probably should have from a team so keen and eager to develop its young players. its a matter of opinion whether people considered Ryan Boyle or Liam Higgins the better player, ive heard Ryan had some discipline problems which led to his near expulsion from the team by the coach, seemingly another player he was either unable or unwilling to manage, instead tuck them away and give em little chance Korkidas like, when Ryan did get a chance he never let the team down, i spoke to him a few times on face book and the lad was gutted he didnt get many chances, and when he did he was as giddy as a kipper. so we loose a lad who came through the ranks a kid who not just me but many wanted to stay to be replaced by a kid who nprobably is no better. maybe the fact he will get a wage and be a bit player is attractive to him......
