With regard to giving young lads a go, take a look at the squad I suppose it depends on your definition of 'young' or relatively inexperienced; for me 8 out of the squad fall into this category ie PJ, Dean, Morton, Gledhill, Howarth, Vievers, Wildie and Tongia. Surely there must be a balance?
Also, with all due respect to Gareth Moore, I'm not sure where all this hype regarding him is coming from. A couple of months ago he was a part-time player in a lower division team, he's just coming back from an injury lay-off and to be fair on previous first team outings he's not been particularly a stand out (perhaps someone could give a view on his outstanding performances in the reserves as I've not viewed these games). Yet some are expecting him to be the catalyst for the upturn of the team.
If you were the Castleford coach what would you do if GM was in the team, I know what I would do (and what I know about tactics is negligible), I would taget him with a few big guys running at him and unless he is something very special then his attacking ability goes out of the window. I would leave GM for the future, with a good off-season, he may be part of the answer with better around him.'"

Just like Nathan Brown
did in his home debut against the Giants, Griffin told me a day before the game that Brown and co had drilled it into his players all week to target GM, hence the attention he was getting when he was lining up a kick on the 4th or 5th tackle by Kirmond, Unfortunately for Huddersfield it failed massively due to GM having a blinder and getting MOM and scoring the majority of points in that game also a very good kicking game too . If you were at that game you will know what i mean ? And as a part timer for Batley he received the NL young player of the year award broke all point scoring records and played Internationally for Scotland, I dont think you get all these accolades from playing tiddlywinks,
Having said that ''PHe'' you make some good points !!!
