Might be a bang average squad but imo they have a below average coach and I'm predicting that he will be gone within 18 months

As a Hull fan, sick to the back teeth of the Club's SL showings, I thought he'd end up with someone like Leigh, or even Wakefield, given that Chester was really under the pump at that time. I said when Cas announced it that this is the end of "classy Cas" and he seems to have faith in the players that let him down at Hull, by signing them up at Cas! I don't think the fans will ever take to him, I could be wrong entirely, but I'd expect major disenchantment among their ranks, after 4 or 5 games and he'll be gone before the season end.
At Hull, he had a very expensively assembled good looking squad that proceeded to lose a record number of games on the bounce, it was painful and felt inevitable, he has no plan B, if power doesn't work , try power and if that fails, more power.
I hope I'm wrong, well sort of, but he'll be gone pretty soon I think when it starts to unravel.

I dunno, There seems to be this weird camaraderie between FC and Cas that I just cant fathom.

One things for sure, they wont stand for any of the turgid rugby that blighted his tenure at FC.

A bit of a shame with McClelland, we never got to see him after a decent, settled run in the team. He isnt going to displace any of the starters in ours next year so a move makes sense for all parties.

They bond over their love of Lee Crookes and hatred of Leeds

Good luck to the lad. I think he might get a better chance at Cas but to be honest I don’t think he will be ever a starting/first choice SL half back. He lacks pace and arrogance that good half backs require at the top level.
Someone compared him to Gale not making it at Leeds and then going on to prove us wrong. However his path in to the first team was blocked by Danny, Kevin and Robbie, three rather better than average half backs.
Anyway good luck probably best for all parties.

I still think there's a good player in Callum, he's had horrendous luck with injuries whilst with us.

Having said that I expect Jack Sinfield to be better and that's probably where our eggs are now.

He never looked fit enough - was his heart really in it?
