Loan players : Mon Jul 25, 2011 9:52 am  

Just out of interest, Parkers loan period will be up before the semi final http://www.therfl.co.uk/news/article/pa ... igers-loan And Davies will be around that time also http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_l ... 081854.stm Can we extend either of these? Do we plan to? Both played well yesterday. I would like to see them both stay on.

Parker is certainly playing his way to a contract somewhere. Davies has loads of potential and is very eager. Definately worth a 2/3 year deal.

Long term Davies would be a good signing if Wigan made him available. Parker is playing for a contract with a S.L club next year like somebody said,and is playing out of his skin.

Is he better than the other props we have when all are fit?.

Whatever he does or goes to he will have the best wishes of the majority of Cas fans with his efforts,done better i thought he would!

Parker has definately surpassed my expectations of him. I expected him to be a liability; giving penalty after penalty away. I don't mind admitting I was wrong. He has done enough to warrant some type of offer from the club, although it must be one stackedin our favour. I wouldn't get too misty eyed over him and pay more than he is worth.

Ben Davies is a different proposition all together. I have been hugely impressed with him this far and I feel that there is an awful lot more to come from this young man. I would hope that Cas are doing all they can to make him feel welcome and at home at the club, even pointing out the fact that Wigan signed a flop, albeit a talented one if past reputation counts, in Ben Cross, rather than give him the opportunity to prove himself. He only has to look at how Emmit has been given a chance at Cas, not to mention Huby and Walker to see that he can progress with us.

Davies suggested a week or so back on Twitter that he future was secured. I suspect it's at Wigan but who knows?

Re: Loan players : Mon Jul 25, 2011 11:57 am  

Yes but short term.... Parkers deal is up on 1st August and so won't play against Leeds in the semi. I read in the League weekly that we are looking at extending it but nothing confirmed.

Just thinking without Parker and Davies, Leeds will be a bad day.

i spoke with ben after the game yesterday and he`s out of contract at wigan and made no secret of the fact he`s looking for a contract with us.what ive seen of him ive been very impressed he`s the kind of player that would thrive at smaller club like cas.
