Been some updates apparently on the planning page today.

Any idea when the squad numbers are released?

Do we know how the 7 figure sum is being invested into the club?

Wasn’t there meant to be some interest of investment? I’m sure I heard it on a podcast that they were keen on bringing someone in.

Would be nice of the club if they shared this positive news. Need to pick the fanbase up with something. Getting the fans to back the current board would be to get this finalised.

Do they fancy taking Vete and Miller

When do players stop becoming youngans?

About 36 with Cas recruitment over the previous 3 years

I’m sure he will do a good job! It will be nice to have a coach that knows about flair. Our last couple of forwards coaches have been pathetic and played the brand of 5 drives and a kick which I’m sure Danny won’t play.

Got job yesterday.

Big job on his hands if true. All the best to him!

The club employed both Danny and Dane at the same time. Dane was nothing to do with Danny before.

I would not judge the squad until we get into preseason. Let’s say someone like Miller and Vete are released and we bring in Austin and Iro then that would look much better and maybe even bringing the budget down?

Jacob Miller is the reason we concede so much! Teams just know if they run at him they will score.

Big score, incoming and Leigh aren’t firing today at all!

Would anyone take Bailey Hodgson? Yes, I would, but isn’t his preference to stay in Oz and try and get another deal over there? If he doesn’t manage to get a deal, I’d be hoping we’d offer him the 1 jersey as the lad looked a great prospect. Poor lad has got the cas luck on the injury front though.

Would anyone take Bailey Hodgson?

The biggest question is who will replace him? Surely thinking long term Widdop ain’t the answer

We need someone to come in who the players don’t see as a friendly face. Radford and last was one of the ‘boys’ by all accounts which meant the players standards slipped!

Bring him home!

CASTLEFORD TIGERS are in talks with Wests Tigers prop James Roumanos about an immediate move to Super League. The West Yorkshire club’s recruitment drive has been well documented and that doesn’t look like stopping before the August 4 deadline with Roumanos in the sights of Andy Last, League Expres...

I was hoping Iro but think that door has closed. El Zakham is another second rower so do we really need him now? Outside back has to be a priority!
