We would spend up to the cap again next season.
Could be lying but hey ho.
If Mark Grattan was selling a talking parrot I'd check to see if it had a speaker up its jacksie

Have Cas confirmed our mysterious Director of Rugby is leaving?

Rats and sinking ship spring to mind but either way, we love a bumpy ride darn t'lane.

Well atleast it's confirmed now. Let's just sit back and see who his replacement is if there is one.

The latter is a very good question and if there are any isuues over finance, I see it as a 'luxury' we don't need.

Well at least that's one sorted out.

All these changes going on at the club the one we really want is a new owner with pots of cash... we can dream.

Still of the belief something has happened at the club for Orr, DP and now Wells all going

Wonder if he will end up at Warrington with Powell

Correct me if I'm wrong but at present we don't have either a CEO or Director of Rugby?

Ultimately, if the new coach wants to bring in players and talk to the bod himself we don't need a director of rugby.

Leeds have one in sinfield but you'll remember their coach wasn't very good at the whole job so just coaches the players.

Don't know what they'll do with sinfield when wane comes in as coach, maybe ceo and hetherington retiring?

Mark Grattan is top man, not sure if he on payroll or not. There was suggestions he was was self employed and charged the club consultation fees. I don't know anymore maybe someone at club can answer.

Don’t hold your breath while waiting for a answer from the hierarchy at cas they must be the worse club in the league for keeping supporters in the dark.

I totally disagree.
I think it is one thing we excel at.
We are so much better at keeping the fans in the dark than any of the other Super League clubs.
We are always the last to know.
So we certainly are consistent in the matter.

The CEO job was split after Steve Gill left with Gratton taking over the financial running of the club with Wells in charge of the rugby side, the question now is will we continue with this set up we have had since 2018 or revert to the traditional CEO role ?

I would suggest in jobs like these, like with football managers, they have a group that travel with them, that when one change happens, several follow.
Sport clubs, especially without the riches in football are not as simple as the CFO does the adding up and the Marketing Manager spends it, it is nuanced, you can't have one without the other and it is relationship based.

I personally think we have had some good continuity and if Danny knew change was coming chose for himself, Daryll made a change etc,,, then it is logical that people with such intertwined personal relationships would also choose this time to make a change.

I don't think we can throw the baby out with the bathwater until all the nuances have played out and more importantly we are just Cas fans - they could have the tea lady picking the team if we have a good season, this will all have been a pointless folly and most people will have forgotten Darren Pole or whatever his name was if we are walking out in a final!
