Quote ="who needs flankers?"I got it!!!!
You are fat Mick Nanyn! Bad luck on never making it in superleague but unfortunantely.... You were just too shocking! You are better off at 2nd rate clubs like Widnes in their council owned stadium.
Yea you are right long term growth is important and so we should look to those teams that are producing the England players of the future, the ones with players in the England academy at the moment.
Only the best run clubs in the country could produce talent like that surely? Well looking at the England academy first 17 the teams with more than one player are Wigan, Warrington, Bradford and.... Castleford.
Yea, no future in Cas
Maybe you should get your 2nd rate club to call Wigan or Wire they may have a few rejects for you to sign now they have some more good young players coming through the ranks. They will fit in with all the rest of the rejects you have, and you never know if you sign enough of them your joke of a club might even be able to beat Batley if you ever have another day out in Blackpool.

Oh dear it looks like someone has well and truly taken the bait, anyway lets dissect this hate-filled post.
Stadium: This is almost not worth making an argument out of comparing the Stobart Stadium to the "Jungle". Hows that new stadium coming along anyway? I couldn't care less if we are playing in a council owned stadium, the amount of money O'Connor has pumped into it himself has developed it to top class standard with state of the art facilities for players, management and media. Meanwhile Wheldon Road can only be described as a health and safety risk and the sooner it gets bulldozed the better, I'd prefer not to be at risk of getting soaked to the skin or contracting asbestos related illnesses.
Academy: Don't know if you caught much of the academy season last year? If not you'd have recognised that Widnes had one of the best academy sides in the country beating all Super League teams they came up against and finished top of their table. It does beggar belief how we haven't got a single representative at national level but thats the RFL for you, anyway you must admit we can't have done bad for a lowly Championship side!
Joke of a Club:
i'll leave that comment and trust you got out the wrong side of bed this morning, and if i remember correctly it wasn't so long ago you were enjoying a trip out to Blackpool?!
FWIW I actually enjoy a visit to Cas on a warm summers day and we've had some decent matches in recent years but its obvious as its getting closer to license decision time your backsides are twitching like a rabbits nose, I believe its either you or Wakey are for the drop, you've had 3 years to get a stadium sorted and I don't think the "but we've got a player in the academy team" will stand up really.
All the best
