I really hope so, that seems to be the rumour at the moment...he, along with Joe Westerman, Richard Owen, and a couple of our other promising youngsters could be players to build a team around for afew years to come.

i think the wait may have something to do with rangi having you by the balls contract wise, he has made cas this year, and so can therefore expect compensation in his new contract

you can talk some

if i was him id expect a lovely fat contract from you guys

Or maybe loyalty and the fact he loves playing at Cas would dictate a small increase would be satisfactory.

surely the contract would have already been signed and announced then

The club like to drip out news slowly. I'd anticipate that the announcement will be penned up in mid-August as 2010 season tickets go on sale.

Wainwright is playing well and getting better every week.

Defo true about Wainwright. Asked him on fb and he said he signed a new deal Thursday. I think it is a good re-signing but in all fairness, as much as he tries and plays his heart out, i hope he isn't going to be our 1st choice winger for next year. We need better, if we are to go further.
