A club like Leeds can keep players once developed but Cas are not able to keep talent.dettoriman wrote: ↑01 Apr 2021, 05:51 I really hope not,
He’s a unit on his day but is very overrated and every year he’s not getting any younger
If we want success we have to model ourselves like Leeds. Build from youth which is what brought them their glory years.
They broke the mould spending big on him. And he’s plugged a gap - But he will end up at somewhere like Leigh should they survive. Basically someone where the owner has a few quid and wants to act like they’re major players.
worth a punt?

Re: worth a punt?
I think Cas could have done more over the years to hang onto it to be honest. For a lot of years we focused on journeymen Aussies and the last time I remember a whole crop of local talent being given the opportunity to develop was the needs must of the relegation years

Our of interest, in your opinion, who has left Cas and kicked on in their careers? I can’t think of any from recent times. Even Darryl Clark, after winning both MoS and Young MoS in the same season, regressed when he first went to Warrington and is only just looking like the player we had in 2014. Westerman, Arundal, Thompson, Chase even further back to Tony Smith, Danny Orr, etc didn’t look as good once they left Cascovid tiger wrote: ↑02 Apr 2021, 07:53A club like Leeds can keep players once developed but Cas are not able to keep talent.dettoriman wrote: ↑01 Apr 2021, 05:51 I really hope not,

Luke Gale looked good last year for Leeds but with the amount of money we received and the age he is at I think we got a good deal.Fumper27 wrote: ↑02 Apr 2021, 11:04Our of interest, in your opinion, who has left Cas and kicked on in their careers?

Won a challenge Cup... 125k or a challenge Cup.. That's why we don't win things unfortunately
Re: worth a punt?
I think that’s a very simplistic way of looking at it. Another would be that we got a very good deal for someone who was past 30, had hardly played in 2 years and who wanted (by all accounts) to leave the club.
