Conclusive proof that Sporting Life lifts it's rumours from RLFans

If this is true then castleford are to55ers. Why not wait to release info at the end of our season.

my thoughts too and we should have insisted on this too.

Don't see any reason as to why Cas shouldn't announce it as long as it's clearly stated that Basil is committed to us for the rest of the season etc.

It fits with my post yesterday when i was told that the anouncement would be the day our local 5 towns paper is printed Thursday......

Who do you think we are.

Looking on the bright side there could be (depending on his contract) some compo in it for us

"The Tigers are to announce their new head coach tomorrow and, despite being heavily linked with current Hull KR boss Justin Morgan, =#FF0000Press Association Sport understands Millward has landed the job"

He was contracted for next season so you'd expect compensation, unless there's a SL clause of some sort?

Lets hope we don't go for the easy option of promoting from within. Lets see the calibre of coaches who want to carry on Ians good work....if the report is true of course

He will probably take one or two to cas with him and the ones that joined because he was there will probably go..

Gutted. Absolutely gutted.

I wouldn't have a huge problem in Neil Jukes being given his chance, should he want to of course?

Sad day

It happens... Ian has been very good for the club in this stint and I await the news with interest filtering through.

Why publish this now? So much or still having a job to finish. There will be less than 2000 on our next home gate if this is true.

Hopefully we won't have another home game until next year.

The timing is a little strange I agree. Mind you it's after the anti-tampering deadline!

Do we not have home advantage even if we loose to Fev?

Keep the faith Dave, we can still win the league

I was keeping the faith... travel to Fev beat em there and we are in the Grand Final.

Blimey, if I was Basil i'd read what the Cas fans are saying about him on their board and reconsider!

I thought that as well jonny, most don't want him, were as here he is worshiped.

I only went on there to say 'good choice and good luck'!

Good to see the RFL's long term franchising plan of building a team up for 3 years really working for my club !

This was always going to happen and is exceptionally frustrating as a fan to see the club slowly being taken apart to become no more than a feeder club for a few local SL clubs.
Thats 2 of this years best players from our squad and our coach in SL next year, I suspect thats not the end of it.

Its pretty obvious that once any of our team showed skill they would have got poached as we are going nowhere in a dead league and any good player/coach will have ambition and wants to better themselves.
As we are in a closed shop league I can't blame anyone for getting out and wish them all well, as a fan I wish my ambitions for my club could be realised but I'm afraid the long term future looks grim if I'm being realistic.

Anyone think we would have lost our best ever coach and some of the players if we was in with a realistic chance of promotion to a higher league ?

Finish top, beat Fev at home and then we are in the Final. THAT'S faith, Dave!




Same here. I'm absolutely astounded by the Cas fans on there. They've got an incredibly high opinion of themselves.
