With you finishing 12th last year and assuming you finish as high as 6th this year you would still need another 6th or higher next season to get this point. Any lower than 6th this year would mean you needing a 5th or maybe even 4th place next year to get the point. Maybe TM is looking short term for getting you another point on the licence applications? It isn't according to this.

The key word there is rumours. No need for everyone to get worked up saying TM/RW have alot to answer for when nothing even happened.

Guilty until proven innocent eh?

Ever thought he's replacing Higgins?

Jackson is a solid player who will strengthen the defence, which is what's needed.

Jackson is poop, poop and errrrr poop. If we sign this poop for Higgins or Boyle then Mr Matterson, Mr Wright, you can stick it. I give up

I'd be dissapointed to see Boyle go, IF the rumours are true. I can remember back to the grand final win against Widnes in 07 when TM was interviewed he said something like 'we can bring the juniors through' or something along those lines. Apart from Owen, Westy, Shenny .. who else have we bought through in the past 2/3 years? I like the fact we have Owen, Shenny, Westy in our side, but it does annoy me when on sky you hear 'Oh Cas have great youngsters coming through and they name the same 2/3, We need more of these young lads given a chance. I'm not doubting we don't have them because i know the 18's are going well. I just think we should give a few more a chance..rather than sign players ala short gap EG = Jackson. (allthough only rumour!)

Wasn't Shenny a first teamer before TM arrived?
