I do find it a bit strange that people are a bit unsure about this signing. He's been our first choice centre for many years now - absolute workhorse, fan favourite, knows his way to the tryline. He'll be great for you.

I'm as negative as they come and even I think this is a cracking signing. As long as his body is still up to it, he's too good to be playing Championship, never mind League 1 should promotion not happen.

Re: Players for next year : Tue Aug 21, 2018 5:11 pm  

That I agree with!

Re: Players for next year : Tue Aug 21, 2018 5:18 pm  

It would interesting to see if he came should we end up in League 1 again

Or would a hitherto unknown 'clause' means that he ends up at Featherstone or Halifax? A bit like what happened when Workington signed Ryan Bailey, and then when Leigh came calling he was off...

This will make it even more criminal every time Garside gets the ball and runs with his head down.
Webster won't come cheap so we either change our style of play to get early ball to our centres, or we've just wasted a ton of money on a bloke who is hardly ever going to get a pass.

Oohhhh...that'll be a novel method of attacking the opponents line.....haven't seen anything like that for 10 or 11 years at Odsal....well, not from the Bulls....hope he's a patient sort of chap.....

Think you have got a gem here. Many Cas fans would have been happy to see him go round again in SL.
I hope he goes well for you guys and then comes back to Cas in some capacity.
Real fans favourite at Cas.

I like Garside but your point about how we play is a good point. We already have plenty of talent out wide but the ball only gets to them if we kick it.

Was there ever clarification on the Lilley loan deal? They originally announced it was until the end of the 2019 season, rather than 2018. Which understandably confused absolutely everyone as who's heard of a loan for a year and a bit in this sport?

Was it ever cleared up if it actually just meant for this season, or we do definitely have him for next year too?

Yes we've got him for 2019 too.

However I don't think playing the three of them at once works, too many cooks and all that. One has to sit it out I'm afraid.
