and 11 players on a hell of a lot less than him, that's the point

I don't get it!!!

Meli the scapegoat. Although i think the rest of the season he should play in the centres.

It's an irrelevant point! Because he's well paid he shouldn't make mistakes?

Smith, Hansen, Chase, Morley, Hock, S'au, Gleeson and Tasi are all above him in the missed tackles list.

They're probably the biggest paid players at the club.

To put it in perspective with regards Meli's 'Woeful Defence', he's not even in the top 50 for all Super League players.

Only chase and Williams have a worse tackle: miss tackle ratio though, which should be used when comparing peoples defence



Meli will score you a boat load, but he'll also concede a boatload

could of told you that at the start of the season!

I was hoping for Meli at centre when we signed him

I was hoping for Meli at another club when we signed him. More accurately, when Brian Noble signed him.

We just need to have scapegoats .
Not that long ago it wasMatty Smith,remember ?
Then Tim Smith or Meli.
They're paid whatever it cost to sign them up,when all we had was a blank piece of paper.
That's not relevant when it comes to how many tackles they've missed,surely.
The scapegoating will continue........MacRae, Noble,both Smiths and the daddy of them all, Steve Simms

I like Meli. I don't agree that he's a winger, he should be in the centres but he's scored some decent tries for us this year. They haven't all been in walk ins some people would have you believe either.

we've had that may scapegoats I'm surprised the club shop isn't selling it's own Feta & knitting it's own club blazers.. must be a joke in their somewhere

If there's a decent Jamaican contingent in the area, perhaps they can jerk the remainder and fashion up some decent oversized head gear for us with the residual coverings

How many has he attempted compared to those other players? Wouldn't mind seeing what percentage of tackles he's missed. Stats can be misleading. Anyone watching Meli this season would tell you he's been extremely bad in defence.

Now I have a bit of information on player movements - and I expect more next week - does anyone know what is happening on the coaching side?

Noble,who had everything given to him wrapped in pink ribbon,had 2 assistants and then a consultant,who was/is either part time or full time.

Does anyone know whether Sean Long is still a consultant or is he an assistant?

Will Iestyn Harris have any assistants? Is there a plan B as it seems Flanagan is otherwise engaged?


Will either/or both of the ex-Warrington coaches be heading in our direction?

Over to the ITK's....

I Know you probably don't need another cas fan to come on here and tell you this but if you are signing Dobson, bringing back sneyd or even signing blake green,if your plan is to put them at the side of chase I honestly don't think it will work and you will just be in the same position again. The best season chase had at cas was playing at the side of danny orr,an old head and a good kicking game and I think you need someone similar. I await the you don't know what your talking about comments but the best signing you could have made to play with Rangi would have been Liam finn

Surely if Tim Smith has gone on loan then he wont be allowed to play against us later in the season.

One would hope so.

Isn't Dobson now a bit of an older head with a good kicking game? He has also worked better along side good players which for me is where smith has struggled throughout his career. Will also make a prediction that the kid Gateshead have signed today from NZ will end up at some point in the next few seasons at a much bigger club as remember someone I know a while back telling me he's a bit good but possibly a late bloomer.

well i got it

If a player plays one game for you doesn't their full salary count on your cap for the year or is my understanding wrong?

Thats only if you use a backroom staff..ie radford when he was assistant at hull played so his full wage counted.

Anybody out there with any relevant information,please?

Has Barker gone on strike?

Reading that Blake Green has gone to Melbourne Storm includes the information that Junior Moors has signed for an ESL club.Is that us?

He was offered a large deal last year by an ESL club.

He is teammates with [url=http://www.melbournestorm.com.au/news/2013/10/10/moors-and-sau-earn-samoa-selection.htmlJunior S[/url

How we getting on with quota?

Barker's on holiday isn't he?

There was a long article in today's MEN re our new full-back and is he the answer?

Modern journalism is more interested in creating interest rather than just reporting news. They could easily have done a story on the 'why and how', and how great it's going to be having a player of that calibre in ESL. Instead we get a supposition piece with a negative spin. Is it any wonder that most RL fans wouldn't use it to wipe their ass?

* Junior Moors signed by Castleford *


Don't think it could have been them who put a large bid in last year.
