Chase confirmed - Widders to follow
The official website has finally confirmed that 22yr old Rangi Chase has signed a 2 year contract starting next season. In addition to this Dean Widders has also signed a 3 year deal however the club have yet to confirm this. Sources come from: Press Association, Fox Sports and his club South Sydney.
Terry Matterson had the following to say regarding Chase: "I am really pleased to get Rangi on board. He is very quick, has good skills, is a hard worker and a strong defender. We intend to be strong in the pivotal positions next year and while we see Rangi playing primarily in the halves, he can also do an excellent job at hooker with his speed and passing game and his arrival increases our options."

Mitchell Gets to Work
Mitchell Sargent was the guest of honour at yesterdays ´License to Party´ and many fans were pleased to meet him. Mitchell had his second training session with the team today and head coach, Terry Matterson, is pleased with what he has seen from Sargent.
"I’ve coached Mitchell before with Melbourne Storm for quite a few years and he has plenty of experience. He has played in the NRL for about 6 years and has played with three of the top clubs including Melbourne Storm, North Queensland Cowboys and Newcastle Knights. He is big and strong and has good skill," said Matterson.
Terry has said that Mitchell will be named in the 19-man squad for Sundays clash against Huddersfield, "He will have a full week of preparation and a chance to settle in and meet the boys. He already feels part of the team and is an easygoing guy. He is really jumping out of his skin to play on Sunday because he has waited 6 weeks to come over and so is really excited at the prospect of finally playing with the Tigers.”

Congratulations from Former Coach
I recieved an e-mail from Dave Woods on the 22nd July which was delivered to my spam box for some reason, I therefore missed it. However Dave Woods says that the license decision made by the RFL turned out as "everyone thought and as should have been the case." He goes on to say that "Castleford are taking their rightful place for the next 3 years and well done to all involved."
I would just like to take this chance to thank Dave for his continued support and wish him all the best for the remainder for this season, we hope to keep in contact with him and get his valuble input on future topics.
