We might get kicked out if the RFL bow down to pressure to reduce SL to 12 clubs and don't forget - someone will have to go down to accomodate Fev.

True little rich, our support I would say is superleague level and is better than quite a few SL sides. The problem is that we don't have the infrastructure or the resources to be an SL side and that will remain so unless we get the new stadium. Thanks for the nice comment though and I will gladly return that in saying that I greatly miss our trips to the new Shay. Halifax are a great club, with great support and are certainly a club who I feel deserve a crack at superleague again.

I've really not enjoyed that much about the past few years as it seems that our future will not be forged on the pitch. It almost seems that the sport is kind of irrelevant as the main concern being a CAS fan is whether we can get a new stadium. If we are going to get our stadium then great, if not then I'd probably rather be playing in the championship where I can just focus on the sport and enjoy competitive games week in, week out.

At the end of the day, I go to Cas to watch exciting rugby, which means something and the franchise system has kind of killed that. Instead we're just a bottom half SL side playing for nothing, with the chance of finishing 8th the only realistic goal. The main action at our club (the stadium developments) are all hush hush and all we get told is that they can't tell us anything.

Ah abandon your club when it needs you the most, a fine idea! I felt the same before the start of last season but if you don't experience the lows, you won't appreciate the highs when they occasionally pop round. Keep the Faith!!

Cas Fan, I agree with Littlerich,and for what it is worth many Hull FC fans think of your club as the team that they would support should anything bad happen to Hull.

Thats true, me included. There have always been pretty good relations between the two clubs and their fans and we enjoy coming to your place.

Can't believe I agree with a Wakey fan.

yep me to,always a soft spot for classy cas,

What have the payed for him then?

Surely you offered him an upgraded deal and you are entitled to some recompense with him under 24

Millward says Cas have been compensated a good amount...so with the Jamie Ellis rumour him + cash might have been agreed.

Too right, don't want young talent just fleeced off you

Spot on, its called selling the family jewels' Westerman, Shenton now Arundel, whose next Milner or Chase?.

Shenton & Arundel weren't sold HTH.

Both were out of contract - Cas get compensation for for Arundel because of his age.

As for who's next, nobody Cas have already turned down a (big) offer for Clark.

It matters little whether they were sold or not, they're not turning out for Cas now and neither is Greg Eden another one who you could not keep hold of, after you probably promised him the moon on a stick after you talked him away from Wakey. As for your other silly statement about nobody else leaving as in the past you've been proved right that many times





that we will wait and see HTH.

Irony. A Wakefield fan telling us about young players, developing them etc. Quite funny.

It is still a shame to see Arundel go but now Shenny is back, it seems like we are replacing Joe with a better player. If we can do that with a few more players then I will be very happy!

We produce plenty! We just have the sense to cash in on them when they are developed rather than try and push them into the first team when they quite clearly ain't up to the job.

Hows Josh Griffin getting on btw? Oh and Steve Snitch? Oh and Paul Jackson?

Is that you proving the quality you produce, must say well done

first time on here in ages and same old trolls from over the common

Hardly a good arguement when we would clearly benefit from having Snitch or Jackson back right now. They are not superstars but front rowers are in short supply.

Think Shenton coming back is a good deal for all parties.
Shenton will get his confidence back (he has not been poor. just not what he was before injury)
Cas get a great player the fans already like
Sts free a spot for someone they want.....probably one of the young Huddersfield lads.

Not really trolling, simply highlighting that our recently mocked youth setup currently contributes to just under 25% of your starting XIII. As for the quality we produce, please reference Ryan Hudson, Gaz Ellis and Ben Westwood.

But as I say, i'm not here to start another tedious measuring contest, just felt the need to defend our youth setup.

I think the original point was all the players produced by Wakefield tend to walk at the first opportunity. The post quoted from the one you took offence to was a poor troll attempt about how Cas let all the youth walk.

For the record I also think Wakefield youth set up is as good as anyone in the comp as is ours, its a shame that's where it ends and after that our clubs start to fail. But I won't open that can up

Ellis and Westwood may be "Quality", Hudson never was....

Hmm, I think in terms of talent he was up there but obviously personal issues have delivered a hammer blow to his career.

To be fair, as someone has said both clubs have got great academy setups and to be honest we can't really do much about the fact that they get cherrypicked constantly, except by becoming big clubs ourselves. Hopefully we are addressing this with our new stadium projects.
