Our youth production : Wed Jul 21, 2010 9:16 pm  

Just starting a thread to applaud the club on its great junior set up and the number of players produced in the past by the club that have moved onto other teams and the large number of players currently in the Tigers youth set up from 16s all the way to 20s, some top talent in them and the numbers of HOME GROWN players in the current squad is just rewards for the great effort the youth coaches put in.

Next season, there will be at least 12 club trained players in the first team squad: Thompson, Owen, Arundal, Orr, Huby, Milner, Walker, Westerman, Harris, Holmes, Davies, Brierley - all but 3 of these have played for Cas this year, 1 has played for another SL club, Shenton is another Cas trained player who has been in the first team all year and now is England's first choice left centre.

If Massey stays that's 13 and if the rumour of Oliver Elima is also true, 14 players of the squad would have been brought through the Tigers system.

If Evans is released (which he should be, imo) the club would only have: Chase, McGoldrick & Widders as overseas players next year, if the Andrew Ryan rumour is false.

Well done to the club, something we should all be proud of and long may it continue.

Got to be applauded but over the last decade its been frustrating losing some of our youngsters for various reasons.

Elima back would be fantastic,

He should never have been allowed to leave.

I pointed this out to my mate a few weeks ago. Not just about the youth in our 1st team squad but also the amount of english guys we have in our squad too. It's a pretty decent effort from the club and long may it continue.

Peter Box is the father and he won't pay a penny due to Elima's Wakefield connections, the swine.

Re: Our youth production : Thu Jul 22, 2010 1:17 pm  

Brierley, I can see him getting a squad number with the first team, even if he only gets a couple of games.

In regards to Elima there's a rumour of him coming back to the club.

There you go

Personally i wouldn't have him back if he's pregnant.

Re: Our youth production : Thu Jul 22, 2010 1:58 pm  

Me neither. He'd be out for 12 months at least. Still it'd be typical of Cas!
