Re: Who else do we need?
I did ask how many had gone on to be regular SL players lol. Thought Luis was now at Widnes?

Re: Who else do we need?
It's irrelevant what we need. We won't be signing anyone else of huge quality. And I would rather not waste our time signing squad players and put some faith in the youth set up.
In an ideal world.
We need David Fifita. Tom Johnstone both who are now tied to long deals at Wakey.
As well as a ball playing top quality back rower/loose. In the Ben Currie mould.
And get shot of Rankin and Ellis and sign Jackson Hastings as Luke Gales replacement long term
We aren't gonna get them. Or anything close to that quality.
We've just made a huge song and dance about someone who's been playing reserve grade in Aus lately.

Apologies, I read it as how many had gone on to be SL players at Cas or moved on elsewhere in Powell’s time.Sharlotiger wrote:I did ask how many had gone on to be regular SL players lol. Thought Luis was now at Widnes?
In terms SL regulars. Zip.

Re: Who else do we need?
All we wont is a Millionaire who wants to throw his cash away, then we could start writing our shopping list , till then we are CAS we do things on the cheap beating some of the richer teams on the way, would I support any one else not bloody likely
Re: Who else do we need?
I agree with most of your post mate but I think Blair was a terrific signing and will be a big success he played most of last year as starting centre for the best team in the nrl I've not seen much of the melbourne games this season but I know theve got a really talented young centre who's name escapes me who I presume theve decided to go with this season and they usually run into salary cap problems so had to off-load playersdettoriman wrote:It's irrelevant what we need.

Re: Who else do we need?
I was critical of John wells for not having signed a centre before the start of the season and sure enough we've being all over the place on one side of the field chopping and changing players but you can't fault the signings and the fact we've spent cash to get players not something most clubs do these days

Personally I’d bring Westerman home. He’s a Cas / Powell player through and through and would load up our pack with another forward who is big and can more than play at the line.
We still need a wing man, although Minikin may well return to form. Either way, we need another outside back.
Peanut will go even better with a settled triangle of players/moves. Including gale.
As per usual, we’re 2/3 players away from being a true threat, when everyone is fit and healthy.
On Blair, I’m worried. IS he that good?

Unlikely we will get anyone else this season true, unless it's Thomas Minns or another Craig Harrison player.dettoriman wrote:It's irrelevant what we need.

Blair is a good signing though (providing his ankle injury is fully recovered). You can't sniff at a player who has played 1st grade at Melbourne and won minor premier titles. Plenty of players have had spells in reserve grade in Aus and come over here with much less 1st team experience but still been quality: Millo, Jesse, Rangi to name a few.
Millo will be on his way either end of this year or next. There will be those you mentioned too along with Maher, Aston, either Egodo, Minikin or Gill. So we will guaranteed be recruiting 1-2 more players for next season who should be a decent quality.
Re: Who else do we need?
Agree about matautia he needs to play full-back and when gale comes back you will see the best of him I didn't mean we should rest on our laurels there is work still needed to be done to improve the side
Think Blair will be a big success but we will see when the lad starts playing

You wouldn’t like to be minikin or Egodo listening to that interview. Can’t see much of a future at Cas for either.

Re: Who else do we need?
It's a bit like fantasy football on here. "Get rid of Mr X and sign Mr Z". "We need 3 more players" blah.blah.blah.
There's something called the salary cap in rugby league that prevents you from having a shopping list of players. Time for a few supporters to get in the real world.

Egodo and Aston will go. That will leave us with Eden, Clare, Minikin and Gill for the wings assuming we keep the latter 2 beyond this year.
Be nice to have a top class right winger too though

Re: Who else do we need?
I think at least one more good player will come in with gale back and players who were just not good enough gone the squad we will have for the 2020 season should be very strong indeedTigerade wrote:It's a bit like fantasy football on here.
