Great news that Willie Isa has signed a one year deal for next year. He is still training with Melbourne until he departs and says his is raring to go. Couple this with the buy a brick scheme and everything in the garden is looking rosy. I personally cannot wait until the new season starts as i think we will surprise a lt of teams.

All in all, a very good week for us

Nail on head. If you look at the league table predictions from other fans they all have Cas around 10th or 11th. I think we are going to shock a few teams next season!

Aye, all in all a pretty good week for us. All we need is confirmation the detailed planning ap has gone in before Xmas and you couldn't really ask for more



More than happy that fans of other clubs don't expect us to challenge for the play offs next year - we can continue to fly under the radar!

Does that mean he won't count on the cap and we still have space?

It's not a rumour though...

fantastic news...hopefully there'll be more from here!!

Isa is non-federation trained, therefore he should count on quota.

Happy to be corrected on that though, but it would be ridiculous if he wasn't counted as a quota player.

All in all, I'm delighted with our recruitment for next season, I think a top 8 finish should be expected, injuries permitting.

Why is it only a one year deal?

Just to make sure he's not coming to toss it off, simillar to the chase deall when he signed.

Still a little concerned with half back cover and prop, to a certain extent. But the backs look excellent and we should be in the playoffs with this team.

when willie scores a try, lets have little willy by the sweet, that will be good.

Don't worry, TM will have Isa playing stand off before the end of March

With Fozzard at fullback and Owen at prop!

How many nrl games has he started and how many tries??

Think aspinwall is a great signing for you guys....

Similar stats to Widdop. Sod all and sod all but still good enough to get into his national team. Before the storm team was dismantled it was possibly the greatest team ever.

Not getting into the starting line up for strom in the centres over the last 4 years just means you weren't as good as Matt King, Isreal Folau and Will Chmabers. Anyone aged 21 and below would have a hard time breaking into that team! I'm just glad we have signed a young player with his best rugby ahead of him who comes highly regarded by Bellemy instead of some ancient aussie who was past it 3 years ago.

'Isa Isa Baby'

You can already hear the PA system banging it out!

Even better if we can get them two women off the Halifax ad to a half-time acapella version of it.

Halifax at a Superleague match.....

It'll never happen.

Correct.

The replacement is referring to the centre for a centre.

Even better - JEDWARD! Sure to bring the crowds in.
