Then you've got very tinted specs on, westerman isnt even the best out of that bunch, chase is for instance alot better than myler. As for atkins this is probably his best season, and its shentons worst, yet atkins still hasnt looked better than him.

Again, I'd have to say Myler he is 19 and English he has scored 10 tries already and has been out for a part of the season. He's good now and he will only get better, especially with Briersy playing alongside him. It will be frightening when he turns 23.

Shenton's good but Bridge, Atkins and King are all better centres.

On Westerman out of all of them i'd have him because the only thing we are lacking is a good loose forward.

Either you're beyond ignorant, or have lived under a rock for the past year...or maybe Fryston have better centres then half of Super League, but Matt King has been the best centre in the league this season.

Matt King has been very good. I have enjoyed watching him from what I have seen. Seemed like a great bloke on Boots and All last night. Well done Matt.

What makes me laugh about Warrington trolls is that Warrington are obviously the bigger club and can afford to spend loads of money on recruitment and we can't, so we are massive underdogs almost everytime we play them, yet our record against them is fantastic in recent years.

It must really eat away at them that such a small club like Castleford can regularly punch above their weight against the superstars of Warrington.

I'm sure many of them still have nightmares about that last 10 minutes at their ground in 2008 when we sent Paul Cullen packing.

I always wondered though with the crazy hair, is he related to Don?

Chase may not be english but he is still over 23 and is better at creating tries than any other player in sl and he breaks the line a hell of a lot more.

King may have finally come good but atkins isnt a better centre than shenton,bridge is probably on a par with shenton. And if you like young english players that are only going to get better surely you would prefer at 23 year old englishman to a 30 year old australian?

It only takes one glance at the stats to notice how good Chase is.

Try assists: 22 (1st)
Metres: 2118 (11th)
Carries: 430 (1st)
Offloads: 31 (joint 10th)
Tackle Busts: 69 (2nd)

His attacking play is lethal. I dread to think how dangerous he would be in a world-class side.
