Very much a two way street I'd say, plenty of Castleford stalwarts started their careers at BV only to be cherry picked by a better Cas club at the time. Hudson and Jackson both the first time around are example of this.

Think that both Hudson and Jackson started their careers at Huddersfield? Jacko came from Stannigley and Hudson from Stanley Rangers, used to watch em both weekly before they were asked for talks at the Giants!!!!

Had a few others down at the time for talks who were playing amateur but we couldn't afford them at the time, namely Gilmour, Westwood brothers, Bridge, Atkins, JJB, Bailey and Chev Walker to name but a few.

Yes but they made their name with us and at that point you pinched them both, ditto Flyn, Goddard and Brad Davis to name a few. I'm not knocking Cas that's how it goes but it's always been a two way street.

But if Huddersfield scouts hadn't of picked em up they may never have played professionally for anyone!!!!

We should never of let them go as in the case of many others but at that time things were not as rosy.

For crying out loud, it's nothing to do with where they started it's purely a case that there is a long history of Wakey and Cas pinching each others players. It's nothing to do with Hudds, get over yourself.

They can't help it, they all have small team syndrome, happens to all the little clubs nobody cares about when they start doing well

Yeah keep yer neb out of it!

Now let's get back to discussing how Wakey youth has kept Cas goin all these years, pulease!

Glad Bens got the chance and i hope for many years to come Wakey/Cas/Fev continue to find young players and develope them.

I suspect we would all like to see more local home grown players in our squads.

When big wage earners are on the payroll politically clubs cannot afford to sideline them or drop them to reserve grade. Then shareholders will be wanting answers. I am sure it is easier to explain bad reults and bad form of the team than it is spending money on playing staff on high wages that are demoted to the reserves.
