I was reading the Yorkshire Evening Paper (YEP) yesterday and headline said "Cas eyeing two Batley players", these two are Alex Brown (winger) and prop Alex Walmsley (prop) the latter is supposed to have set the Championship alight for the past two weeks. What do people think? Bargains? Or just another fiasco where we have no money so getting crappy championship players?

Who can say? I've heard a few different people mention this walmsley kid now, saying he's worth a punt. We aren't in a position to just discount players because they aren't in SL so I'm glad we're keeping an eye on that league.

Heard from a few sources that Walmsley is to pick from Leeds and Hull. Would be surprised if every SL team wasnt looking at him. Looks to be a very good prop. Looks to be as good as, or better than Chris Hill was at that level

According to the League Express, Cas already have the contracts drawn up for them to sign so it's just wait and see what develops. |

Sign Mellars, he's not as bad as some say and it will stop Agar wasting a sub spot on a position that shouldn't be anywhere near the subs bench. |

Agree KC thought 2 of the best players on the field were Larne Patrick and Greg Eden who in fact are products of the Cas Academy ( Although Larne went to Oz at 16 beefed up and on his return Cas decided he wasnt good enough  ) |

Trust me on this one KC, Larne played for Smawthorne Panthers and Cas untill 16, he did the Oz year came back bigger and better but we didnt offer him a contract so the Dulls jumped in.
And come on Dave Parker is usually more accurate than wikipedia

Wrong Binks. Larne has never played for Cas. He signed for Bulls age 16 and went on their scholarship.
He then went to Oz as he wanted first team/loan opportunity. It was at this time I told Cas to jump in but they didnt/wouldn't. Rest is history - Hudds snapped him up.
Never forget club for that.

| The biggest mistake Cas made was not signing Gareth Ellis when he was 16 or so on the account he will never be big enough or good enough to play at the top level.

wrong Fully, Larne used to be called Larne Leek (funny name I know) and changed to Patrick when he went Down Under because of his mum and dad divorcing or something, came back Bradford signed him, went to Hudds. Makes me nearly want to cry when you see how well Eden is doing and he never got a chance...looks a million times better than owen

I can categorically tell you now, I am not wrong - I am 100% correct.
I am the same age as Larne Patrick (previously Leake) and was in my year at the same school I was at. He has never played for Cas Tigers.
He signed for Bradford at age 16, then he went across to Australia and played a year there. Then he was going to come back to England and Huddersfield signed him. He was at the Bulls before he was in Australia.

I can seriously remember a game where he played for Cas along with the likes of Dom Brambani and Michael Knowles, it was a pre-season friendly I can remember him because his name was funny I thought

Any relation to Chance Leake who played for Cas (and Fev IIRC) in the 80s? |

Honestly mate. Believe me - he has never played for Cas. You must be thinking of someone else.
As for relation, no idea on that front. |

At 16, Gareth Ellis was a 5' 6", 65kg half back. It was when Gareth was 18 that he and a few others from Lock Lane were recommended to Castleford and Stuart Raper (along with Graham Steadman) were not interested in any of them!!! |
