So it is rumoured that we are losing them to Salford and Huddersfield respectively but why would they want to go to those teams when all is looking good here at Cas ? I am not at all putting down Huddersfield or Salford but it would be strange if they did go.

Thoughts ?

If rumours are to be believed its because they are chasing 5 year deals.

Its understandable they are after job security, I can also understand the clubs reluctance (if true) to offer so long a deal, we have had our fingers burnt over long deals before (McGoldrick and Hudson spring to mind).

Weller to Salford and Huby to Hudds in 5 year deals. Tigers offered Huby a 3 year deal but he turned it down. They will both be replaced by better players.

Steve Crossley and Matt Cook?



As for the rumours we are getting Luke Robinson & Scott Moore (sent off Sat) nooo thank you!

I understand the coaching team are doing a fantastic job with this seasons squad but some of the alleged signings for next year smacks of some we made after 1999, Darren Shaw, Adrian Purcell, Logan Cambell etc. Rather than kicking on we stood still and gradually went backwards.

I know I shouldn't be worrying about next season yet but we have in the past got to this stage before.

Big mistake for me if we let Huby go after the service he's given us. One of the most under rated forwards out there. We need to stop losing our best players to these teams if we are aiming to be successful. We did well regarding Carney, let's give Huby the deal he wants. No one deserves it more.

We might be a bit late we seem to be back to humming & are'ing with contract, I was told last Wednesday that they had singed for other clubs, I hope it's all rubbish, but i wont be holding my breath

Rumours Hull have also offered Huby a five year deal

Both Huby and Weller definately going. Tigers trying to keep Sneyd and Clark though.

if you lose Huby and Weller but keep those two, then I think that is pretty good business by you guys

Huby has stood by the club through thick, thin, and anorexic. If any player deserves a long deal by the board it is him, will be really miffed if he goes. See the Cas "B" Team (Hull) are sniffing round as well

trust Huby to leave the year he gets an England call up. we're still the stepping stone, it seems...

3 former Cas players make up a Castleford b team, don't think that's how it works

I raise you Tansey, Dixon, Lynch and Wheeldon

In what way? Players like Huby lay the foundations for those others to succeed. Without it they would not be the same.

Huby is a massively under rated player, and has been for last six or seven years.

Fair play to your academy for producing and developing those players...

Both Hauraki and Sneyd at Salford for next year! www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-league/27817462

As for Hauraki? With his close ties to Chase it was always going to happen at some point.

Well Hauraki has been confirmed.
I really would be disappointed to see Huby go, as has been said, he has stuck by the club through everything. We should show him a bit a loyalty and respect for that and give him the 5 year deal he supposedly wants. Personally I don't see the problem with this

Considering Cas granted Carney a 5 year deal I don't buy into this idea that Cas won't offer them because "they've been burnt before". And considering the service Huby has given, a five year deal to him would be lower risk than giving Carney one. For that reason alone I'm calling rubbish on that one.

Hope the club bust a gut to keep huby.


As for Weller, I'd bench him and give Frankie more game time.

All the best Weller - even though you must be barmy leaving the Tigers. Now go on and get us to Wembley.
