| Quote ="G.Price Fan Club"Really? Three interviews, the rest of RL could tell that guy was all hot air after one of his "interviews".
To be honest I always saw JM as a pretty "sharp" guy, had a bit of coherency and intellect behind his commentary an analysis. If it took him 3 interviews to see through RW & JF I'm going to have to re-evaluate my assessment of him.
Put it this way; I believe if JM had asked to see proof of the financial backing (i.e their records) the house of cards would come falling down.
From reading their other forum a major shareholder is claiming they're all but oing away with AGM's and RW & JF are playing a very much closed house. Hiding something? Yes they pay their taxes, but how close to the wind they ride (we know how that feels all too well) who knows?
For me I think it shows how close they must be by the lack of a "copycat" season ticket offer. Remember RW's never had an original thought in his life!'"
Couple of things seems you seem to like to know all things Cas:
1. Cas rejected Morgan after ONE interview, only one coach had multiple interviews and that is the bloke who has signed a contract - Peter Gentle
2. The club are doing rather well, the last set of accounts I saw showed a 27 grand PROFIT, so they're nowhere close to being in bother, Gloria has the same rant every year about the AGM because he has an agenda with RW and has made it clear in the past, he disagrees that the AGM shouldn't be held after the grand final.
3. Why would the club want to do one of these gimmicky season ticket offers when they lost money not make money? It's a desperate ploy to boost attendances and nothing more, which is why the first club to push it on everyone was Huddersfield - one of the worst supported teams in Super League before the offer.

Those accounts are close to being two years out of date.
Seems the companies credit rating took quite a bashing last week -- downgraded to a rating of "caution - cash transactions preferred"
Wonder what the ccj was for in February!!

I hear Morgan was offered the job but after full and franks discussions between the Cas board and Morgan he decided didn't want the job. I'm lead to believe that the playing budget was simply not enough to meet the boards playing performance targets. You can only do so much on a limited budget. I don't think Morgan sees himself as a miracle worker.

Bang on the money. Had a text from a mate of mine who played under Morgan. Morgan turned the job down as the Cas BOD want to win the league within 3 years but they will not budget paying out anywhere near the salary cap.

At last someone with some humility on this board. It's a shame the majority can't show the same.
Wasn't it only 6 months ago you nearly didn't even have a club to support and were only saved after going into administration owing money to various people/companies. Then less than a month ago you all thought you wouldn't be in SL and it appears were only saved by the failings of the Crusaders (awaits the comeback that your application was stronger than Halifax etc etc but lets face it if the Welshies hadn't pulled out you were gone)
Yet incredibly people on here are having a go (and guess work at that) at Cas' finances and how they are run as a club !
Don't get me wrong I don't profess to believe everything our CEO tells us or am 100% happy with how the fans are treated at times but could any fan of any club honestly say they agree 100% with how their club is run ?
But what I do know is unless otherwise officially told our club is financially stable and has another 3 years of SL to look forward to, the same as yours. Everything else regarding stadia, coach, player, season ticket prices is out of my hands and what will be will be, I just hope the right choices are made.
Now instead of enjoying coming through the hardest time in your clubs recent history and looking forward to a more positive future you still can't help but have a pop of everything Cas do or don't do. It seems I was naive in thinking that when we were both awarded licences for the next 3 years all this backbiting (and that goes for the Cas fans that indulge as well) would stop or at least go away for a couple of years but it appears I was way off the mark.
Oh well I live in hope that it will abate soon when the season ends but no doubt each others stadium plans, signings, coaches, finances will still continue to be belittled by both sets of fans in some playground point scoring competition. Is it any wonder fans of other clubs laugh at us both.
I hope that both our clubs have a bright future in SL in nice new shiny stadiums and the only point scoring is done on the pitch.

Did you miss the memo? The faux 'entente cordiale' that some people tried to manufacture when we were both at risk of losing our SL status, was cancelled weeks ago. We're now back to a much more honest position of open hostility and wishing the worst for each other.
I, for one, am much more comfortable with that - we're one of the few proper derbies in SL and we shouldn't spoil that rivalry by creating some poncey love-in based on the mythical 'RL family.'
Bring on next season, when I hope you're coached by John Kear and have lost Rangi Chase due to his criminal behaviour.

If there really are people who are still 'in the know' then whoever feeding them the info hasn't learned from the last lot!
