Classy Cas RIP ? : Wed Dec 29, 2010 1:26 am  

bonjour castleford fans,
now, cas were known to be very creative past few years, BUT.
now with shenton and westerman gone, who will fill the void?
the only player who IMO has a creative spark is chase, but he cant do it by himself......
where do you think you will finish in 2011 and do you think you be as good without shenton and westerman?

Ha Ha that's so funny from a bradford fan. Last year you spent most your money on one player (orford) and got jack all from the over paid aussie half back, for this season you have had a change of tactic and bought every average player going. which may well work out for you.

But as for your question Shenton and Westy are ok but don't make a team and neither was played creatively under Matterson so i don't think they will be missed and will not take the class out of Cas.

Offloading superstar Sherwin made Cas last year, it put the team on a level footing and the team spirit and commitment and class returned.

We're much stronger this year than last, I'd be disappointed if we didn't make the 8

I think the sentiments are the same for any club, though. We have a massive fight ahead of us.

No doubt, and a lot will come down to injuries (as usual), but we haven't changed a lot, have brought in some real quality, and our young squad is a year more experienced than last year.

well when you get a club with a youth policy like cas, we bring though local lads one or two just about ready to step up! by the way how many bradford lads are in your team??

Most coaches will think one of the keys to beating us next season will be keeping Rangi quiet.

Wait until Milner comes off the bench
