If he does not gets injured and carries this form to the end of the season, then surely the money clubs will be knocking at the door, which I am sure will test the resolve of your board, whether they hold out or whether they crumble only time will tell.

Do us a favour and zip it, I'm tired of people on here trying to get a rise out of us by saying Rangi's off...quite frankly, it's getting old now...JOG ON! ta

I dont think he's trying to take the mick, more a case of your insecurity imo. You cannot have a player playing out of his skin every week and him not going unnoticed, nobody at Cas thought Weterman would go till FC payed all that brass for him, Chase would walk into most sides if not all of them over here, not to mention the Aussies and the conjecture about him leaving all the time is the price you have to pay for such a talented player hth.

I think most Cas fans will admit he will end up back in the NRL at some point, but he has gone on record saying he is happy at Cas.

If he wants to talk to anybody at Cas about moving to a bigger club hoping to achieve honours he can ask Danny Orr...it didn't work for him!

Anyway, before the Wakefield fans took it off topic....back to the original topic.

Off-contract: Dixon, Orr, Jackson, Ferres, Jones, Isa, Fozzard, Aspinwall, Massey, Thompson.

Therefore, I'd give new contracts to Dixon (2 yrs), Ferres (2 years), Thompson (2 years). Aspinwall and Orr have been solid so I'd give them new one year deals too. The rest I'm undecided on and ideally I'd like to see who we can get in whose OOC.

It's clear that Matterson sees Thompson's future in the pack. Therefore based on who's currently contracted for next season and who I'd give contracts to:

1: Mathers/Eden
2: Dixon/Owen
3: Arundel
4
5: Youngquest
6: Chase/McGoldrick
7: Orr
8: Emmitt/Walker
9: Hudson/Milner/Clark
10: Huby
11: Snitch/Holmes
12: Ferres/Thompson
13: Davies/Aspinwall

On this basis, I think we need two props, two threequarters, possibly another winger.

That will give us a squad of 26.

A Willie Manu Type player and a Mitchell Sargent type from his first full season at Cas.

Would certainly full two key positions for next season
