Yep, must have damaged Cas when Orr did the same, or when Newton left Leeds for Wigan and the list goes on - your sad effort at trolling is all to obvious.

This is how RL has always been and always will be - you win some you lose some.

It may also convince some of the castleford yougsters to move on and leave depending on how pitts develops as they would have a friend there convincing them to move, see him progressing well.

i'd agree with that mate . good luck to the lad. just hope when he goes to leeds he keeps the personality he has got, and not turn into an arrogant absolute K..b as most of the players that go there tend to.

hes crap for us but i hear he was great for you, your right defffinate small club syndrome.

yes your right mate but its never good to be a selling club, are you just lightening the load for 2012 ? it must be worrying times

Read on another thread hes been your 2nd best prop this year.

Oh, btw didnt think you lot needed any land from council after all you own all the land (wait no u dont), u have all the cash ready to build anytime (oh no you havent and you arent) OOPS

Toddle off ....

Yes, very worrying, I mean I’ll be in my 30’s then, where did my life go?!

Why should it be ? If we could not produce players that people want to buy I'd be even more worried.

I know your only saying this to wind up cas fans so i wont rise to the bait and lie that feather has been poor, he for the most part has been excellent, with a poor patch in the middle of the season leading him to be dropped and come back better for it.

I put his upturn in form since coming to the tigers down to the superior coaching he has recieved compared to any other time in his carear

2nd best prop acording to who, he has only just managed to get his place back in the first team, and as for the land my understanding is that the council is giving us some land to borrow money against (not too sure how this will work) not to build a ground on waystone have sorted us out as far as the land goes.

We have a better chance of a stadium by 2012 so not as worried as you should be.

JAY PITTS NOT STADIUMS

I wish young Pitts all the best I hope it works out for him I am sure it will and many international caps will follow in the years to come
No doubt we will end up with some short term fix with his best years behind him who will no doubt cost more and give us 2 decent seasons

Disappointed by the message this sends out.
The point of franchise is for us to build a team and not let our youngsters get poached by the top clubs.
As you say, we will probably get a senior player who's "experience will be invaluable", but will cost just as much - Peter Fox vs Peterson springs to mind, who will cost just as much.
All the clubs will now be looking at the likes of Dale Ferguson etc as they have been sent the message that we're happy to let them go.
Would have liked to see Pitts develop with us.
Another sign the club need cash?
Is Broughton not coming the other way, seems to be purely £$£.

Do Pitts comments not suggest we had little choice and that he'd have gone at the end of the year when his contract was up?

And you know all our squad personally do you???

Pitts’ contract was up, he rejected Wakefield's offer and accepted the offer from Leeds. Going now means the club may receive as little more money for him then they would’ve done at the end of the season. Ferguson is contracted till 2011 so same thing will not happen.

I thought we offered him a contract and he turned it down. Not really the clubs fault if he wanted to go to the club he supported as a kid.

but the pitts at stanley has some thing to do with the stadium

chan i could not tell u how feather is doing at cas been a waky fan!!! i was meaning that feather was playing some great rugby for us and then went to leeds and he was crap, i can see pitts been out on loan next season coz i carnt see him getting much first team games at leeds

there's no doubt he's moved to his childhood team and feels that he can break in to the first team within a year or two, good luck to Jay not going to be easy but he's set his sights high, just a shame he couldn't be part of the new era at Wakefield Trinity Wildcats

Is a shame but he chose to go. So best to concentrate on those who want to play for the club. We've lost better and survived.

True. He would never had got a 13 page thread had he been plodding away for us still!
