Goldy was never offered a contract by wigan it was purely publicity ‘leaked’ to the press by his old pal mick robinson.

The aussies get paid ridiculous wages that’s the only reason they are at cas, if you talk to the boys immediately after the games when they have lost, the only ones disheartened and upset are the local lads.

When its there day off the only boys doing ‘extras’ are the local lads. The only ones doing promo’s with kids are the local lads because they grew up supporting cas and know how important cas is to the fans

To the aussies it’s a job and one that they get paid a hell of a lot more for than the English kids, to the local lads cas is their life that’s why I think its sad to see boyle go when he has played for the club since he was 15, I would have thought after the loyalty he has shown he may have been shown some back.

1. how do you know what any player is payed?
2. whether goldie was offered a contract or not, he still stayed with us through relegation (and that cant have been for the money as he would have had to have taken a significant pay cut).
3. thats rubbish about community work being only local lads- widders, goldie, chase, hudson, and netherton all do plenty of community work.
4. The only reason players play for clubs is money, its there job, if you dont think shenny and westy are on top wages thats upto you but i would suggest its very naive to think so.

I was gonna say that McGoldrick does a hell of a lot of extra work on his days off from what I've heard.

mcgoldrick taking a pay cut is laughable hes the second highest paid at the club!
i do know what a good deal of the players are paid and this is because i know a couple of them very well and socialise with the boys after games, if it was just a job then why did shenny stay last year when he was offered more money at another 3 clubs and why is richy trying to negotiate a deal with cas even though he has been offered HUGE amounts of money to leave! ryan is not in their league with his wage and thats rightly so as he is not in their playing league, but he also hasnt left because of money hes left because hes been told he wont be featuring in the first team, he was willing to stay for a pay cut, thats what i mean about loyalty!

I'm willing to bet most people on here dont share the details of there wages with people and that if they did they would probably lie as a wind up. I think you believe you know the wages of all the players at the club but i doubt you would be correct with many of them. And yes mcgoldrick did take a pay cut when we were relagated, he had to with a 400k salary cap in nl1. I'm not saying money is the only factor why a player chooses a club, buts its a damn big part of it.

been a long time coming and largely expected. Trying to pre-empt the moaning to come:

We demand our coach got us promoted, we demanded our coach improved out 12th finish and targetted the play-offs - so now we need to trust he knows what he's doing.

There can't be anyone on here who claims to have better insight into players at the club's potential, how they train and how far in the game they can go. I often think I know best and give my opinion but truly, I don't.

A few years ago I was cock-a-hoop when we signed Andrew John's halfback partner from Australia....... We all know how Rudder turned out and a few years before that when we signed a journeyman stand-off who started badly and eventually was so average at 6 we had to move him to 13 and we all kow how Vowles turned out.

So, lets not roll out the "sack TM and his aussie favourites" banner until we get to February and see the 'new' on field product.

I agree I would rather have kept Boyle in MY OPINION, but if there is something else going on here that I don't read in the program or see on the field, then I have to trust Terry. Just like I would not accept anyone in my company telling me how to run my part of the business.

Not good that Boyle is leaving and the same goes for Feather too.

You really think he warranted a contract based on his efforts this season?, the first 8/9 games possibly but the rest he was very average at best.

Well, exactly what I said really. Just that he's one of the players who is always up for helping out in the community and doing public appearances and that sort of thing.

Ah yet another employee from Cas Tigers RLFC accounts office. I am starting to think that rather than Nestle or Burberrys being the biggest employer in Cas, surely it must be the payroll department at Cas Tigers.

Mounting evidence on this forum would suggest that this is the case.
