Matai, Campbell, Paleaaesina and another prop will do me.'"
By Campbell do you mean Preston Campbell |

He can but lacks the power to go through his marker so has to round him which is much harder with the limited space available these days
Not particularly IMO, certainly no Lyon/Gidley and Atkins is better in this department.
One other thing, he literally can't kick....looks as though he'll fall over every time he tries.
As you know he is great defensively, one of the best I've ever seen, not just for his tackling but his reading of the opposition's attacking plays.
Give him time to settle because he hasn't always seemed to be the most confident of players but in the unlikely event you're not satisfied with your purchase we'll gladly accept return.'"
I could be on my own here, but I wouldn't accept him back. He's decided he's too good to remain at Cas now, so he needs to go and prove that he is good enough elsewhere.
I wish the lad well, but he's not welcome back if he fails in my opinion. |

All I know for sure is that he has decided Saints are the better option for him at this time and that does not have to mean that he thinks he's too good for Cas. Surely when it comes to recruitment the key issue is whether a player will add value rather than where his previous career path has taken him to/from. |

I believe that joining Saints will improve Shenny's power, he will become a line breaker.
The problem we have at Cas is not only our fitness but the general size and conditioning of players. If you look at teams like Saints, Wigan, Leeds and even Warrington and Huddersfield all their players have bulk and power as well as fitness and stamina. The likes of Cas, Wakefield and Salford don't have this, and I believe that this is the major gap between the top half and bottom half of the table

I wouldn't bother reading this bit, there is nothing interesting, witty or insightful down here, just this collection of boring words explaining that you really are wasting your time browsing this signature in the vain and futile hope that there will be a nugget, nay, a veritable goldmine of witticisms or divine philosophy. In reality, all you're going to get is disappointment, a sense of hopelessness and a random word.

Yet, we have beaten Leeds and Huddersfield (convincingly) and given Wigan and Warrington a tough game  |

Fair points but i still believe that the fitness between the top and bottom half of the table is vastly different
And to be fair, Huddersfield were a shower of sh.... when we played them at home
