Nope. What's he supposed to have done?

Have a look on the Cas board and the Yorkshire Post website

Just seen the piece about Santa. I'm betting he thought it was Balotelli.

In reality, it's probably just Cas' escalated version of our recent Aspinwall debacle, it'll be forgotten about by the time the season kicks off.

Remind me not to go for a night out in Pontefract - first Cockayne, now Owen!

I go during the day to pontefract races and often see a few cas and wakey players there during the summer,but they are usually well behaved

Looks like Dowes is waiting to go to arizona to do an Athlete's Performance internship.Good luck to him in a new career phase.

God I hope not. Can't stand him.

I cant either but he may be just what we need...a big nasty b'stard of a prop.

Completely agree. O'Meley, Lynch, Mason and Moa would be a more than decent quartet IMO.

O'Carroll????

Wouldn't get in front of Mason IMO. And don't foget Burnett too.

I'm happy with our props tbh,add in the young lads.Can't wait to see the young lads in action at york tbh.I would prefer to add another back.

I would love Mason to sign our props althought good IMO are a bit namby pamby no one puts the fear in the opposition like Mason would.

Yeah O'meley, Lynch and Moa are far to namby pamby compared to Keith Mason.

Tell you what,go tell O`Meley that.I would pay a tenner to see it.

Never heard of a player with a nickname 'Ogre' being 'namby pamby'. Really is laughable

Whilst Mason isn't necessarilly who I'd choose and "namby pamby" isn't the right description , our pack never bossed any games last season despite Ogre & co having that "big hard pack" billing. Maybe they were playing too many minutes , maybe our lack of a kicking game put too much demand on their energy but I'm hoping for more this year from them and think that maybe we do need a bit more "mongrel" about us.

I doubt Mason will be going anywhere after reading this

Seems to be a few players getting injured in training lately, I remember a quote form last year when RA said if the players don't play a game soon they might just kill each other.

Guess all training with no play gets 'em like that, whoever they play for.

Exactly!!! Don't get me wrong I love 'em but when was the last opposing forward to get flattened (properly) by one of ours props??

They have big billing and rightly so but Moa inst very aggressive is he? I'm sorry but you have to go out there wanting to stamping the living *&*& out of the opposing forwards. There is a clip on that video site of O'Meley getting revenge on a certain B. Gibbs and and giving him a proper mouthful afterwards. You don't win anything being nice and we haven't been winning much recently.

I really hope Gentle can get them reved up for games when needed. Looking forward to seeing the impact of Aspinwall as he roughing it up in training I've heard.


I really hope they prove me wrong

Nice picture whats the point? Does he scare me? No, but I dont play professional rugby. Does he scare the opposition forwards more to the point? He should do, he has done, can he still do it? I loving hope so.

Moa isn't aggressive? Hmmm.

I think the point people are making is that our pack is aggressive but they need an extra spark to really try and knock their opposite numbers around the park. When they have the opposition pinned on their own line, it's a safe area to try and get in their faces - they where reluctant to do that under the old regime.
I trust Gentle to get them fired up.
