No point tarnishing fallen idol Westerman as a booze hound and then bigging up Chase. Who was Westy on the lash with?

I think he is a big loss for Cas, symbolically, if nothing else. But we all need money to pay our way. You got a decent price, at least.

That is true, i know for a fact Chase is a boozer along with Westy, but at least Chase played well last season unlike Westy. Along with the fact we have got money for him i think it's a decent deal all round.

The biggest worry for Cas is the stadium financing 1st, 2nd and 3rd!

Joe will be missed but the team will adapt, the biggest worry for me if I were a Castleford supporter would be the loss of Joe Westerman so soon after Michael Shenton and to a lesser extent Matthew Dawson, Ben Gledhill and Liam Watts.

A lot of what you say would be sensible if it wasn't riddled with such erroneous information. We don't have to find £11m.

And that press release is badly worded IMO. The money isn't to pay for PP - that was going to be done anyway. However, it recovers some of those costs for the benefit of us, which is surely a good thing, no? As for the planning permission for The Jungle, that is currently being worked on.

how much do you need then

The future of the Hicksons site is already known. It is going to be developed over one way or another. In the meanwhile, that has nothing do with The Jungle as the restrictions have been lifted and planning permission obtained anyway.

Well, I need a new car..........

your fans smashed another up

Yep, can't fault it.



Surprised Ambers not been on ruining a decent post by a Cas fan, she's good at making false accusations and
showing up decent Cas fans.

Cue trollface any moment.

Nah, it's just getting on a bit. As they said on the Fast Show: "Driving a car is like making love to a beautiful woman."

Except this one is the equivalent of a woman with saggy breasts and wrinkles.

Thought that was your taste, Snowie?

gutted for Cas... know what it feels like not to be able to keep your best young players!

That's not a proper answer; yes it will be developed, but what sort of a development will it be, industrial or commercial or housing?



Not exactly true. Ben Bailey may well be holding out (per their agreement until Oct 2011) to see what sort of a development goes up across the water. The houses wouldn't be worth as much if there are industrial units across they way, so there may be less profit, so little point in building with profit margins being so fine at the moment.

However I feel that the planning application you should be looking for is the housing planning permission for WR, that will show commitment from your developer and will ensure you get the funds released on time- which I honestly proves to be the case. However without that application I would be getting nervous if I were in your position.
That's not to say I don't have concerns of my own about my own teams project. Although I grow in confidence everyday!!!!

You'll get the money I have no doubt, in time... Not so sure.

Like us with Ellis, although I can't help but feel that Hull have paid too much for Joe.

There are other companies than BB, you know. I have confidence. You're right in the fact it is imperative we get the PP in. That will increase the value of the land of WR. The development across the road is going to be predominantly housing if I remember correctly. It's on the Wakey Council website anyway.

can fall out with you

Never.

As I said I hope it comes off for you.

Just don't tell amber.

Don't worry, I won't. Hopefully we won't be at home on the same day for the last game of the season this coming year!

It's only too much money if you cant afford it, Hull have plenty of money and the club have gone out and shown some ambition at last by paying a large transfer fee for a potentially excellent young british players.

I don't think Cas had any choice tehy knew he wouldn't stay beyond next year and risked letting him go for a much smaller fee, he wasn't happy there so no point in keeping him, Agar has totally changed the off field culture and is tough with the players if they step out of line, hopefully I change of club will do Westerman some good.

And Vastaman you are correct Hull had him as a junior but the money he wanted for a kid of that age was stupid.

Very happy with ths signing.

and of course the money he has got paid for this contract is sensible?????


want to have a guess anyone cos i know!

oh and chase is either off to leeds or nrl, while we are on the subject!

of course he his



cas cashed in on westerman and nothing more, they offered him another contract and he turned it down and they we wernt going to allow him to leave on a freebie the same has shenton which imowas a good bit of business.

dont get me wrong i would like westerman to have stayed. but what will be will be we have lost far better players over the years than westerman and the thing about cas is their is always somebody coming through that will replace them quick enough.

Couple of years ago Cas fans said Joe was going to be the next big thing, the player to replace Andy Farrell.

Now Cas fans are happy to see him go?
