Not been much written about the bloke this year, but I think he's been a very good signing for us. Adds size to the pack, a strong runner and broken the line on numerous occasions. Already done enough for another contract and one that I hope to see playing for us next year.

yeah i agree need some size up front.one for next year for me

Quality player. Massive hit on Mason when he came on Sunday. Played well every game in a Cas shirt. Definatley worth a 2 year deal.

i'd agree with you there matey

Chris has been an absolute star and I hope to hear soon that he's been given a new deal, he's made a massive impact coming off the bench and been another reason we have done so well this season, we really do have an awesome pack.

would just be nice to add one more forward with his size so they both can start knocking other players about..2 monsters and sargent aswell,sounds good to me

if we get lynch and resign higgins, feather and boyle i would be very happy with our fron row, especially with walker and gledhill coming through.

Huby?

Sarge?

Already signed up hence why i didnt mention them, what i was saying is i would be happy if our front row was sarge, lynch, feather, higgins, huby, boyle with gledhill and walker coming through.

Can't help feeling a front row needs at lest one hooker …

do u not think tho TM should be looking for players now like the bigger teams do to make sure we get our fair share of quality

I'm sure he already is.

Yesterdays league weekly says bradford are very close to agreeing a new deal with lynch

They did also say ryan mcgoldrick was moving to wigan!

would be nice to anounce a big signing tho early to give the club a lift after last few weeks

He's been outstanding, done everything a good prop should and his workrate is up there with the rest of our pack, superb

Higgins and Boyle apparently wont be signing new deals with Cas, I personally would like to see them keep boyle I cant imagine him costing the club much and he’s a good squad member

Both have played really well for cas so if this is true i would be very dissapointed.

Boyle's a homegrown kid, with the importance of homegrown players ever more pressing, I'd be disappointed if we got rid without someone coming through to take his place.

I agree and ideally I would like to see us keep both, I would definitely like to see Boyle still at Cas next year he’s only 21 so still young for a prop I think given more experience then he would be a first team squad member every week and importantly like you say he is home grown.
But like I say ive heard neither will be at Cas next year and we could see them both at Hull KR or Boyle at Waky.

Boyles face (god knows why) does not fit with Terry it is plainly obvious for all to see. we are not privy to what goes on behind the scenes or at training but ryan has never been a favourte of Terry's.

as for higgins i have cases for and against him. solid player but really if we are tombecome a force we need bigger stronger skillful props.

boyle may well be a wakey player next year but dont rule out bulls!

think chris has been your best prop this year. said when you signed him "given a chance he will do ok" got a bad injury at bradford, never really got a chance after that. nice guy, hope it keeps going well for him. as for boyle think he's worth keeping and so is higgins.

I've heard one or two rumours about Boyle's off-field antics being the cause of why he doesn't seem to be in favour with TM, but whether that's true or not I have no idea.

It's a shame if so because I think he's a massive prospect for the future.

Well I think hes done a lot of growing up this year to be fair coz you don’t see any of the lads out half as much as last season, I know boyle likes a drink but whenever ive seen him out its always after the game and not before and hes usually with his missus or one of the other lads normally huby, westy or richy owen and you don’t hear stories about their off-field antics so maybe it just is that terry doesn’t like him I hope that’s not the case though and that he gets to stay at the club, I think he could gain a lot of experience from Sarge and Feather and working along side Huby who is only a couple of seasons ahead will give him something to strive for.

I can't imagine TM is dropping players just because he doesn't like them as a person.
If their attitude wasn't right then fine but just because they don't get along would be a bit off.
