Right, I was a little surprised and somewhat disappointed with the appointment BUT;

TM has been wonderful - from a yo yo club we are now a solid play off club and CC semi finalist. We also are stacked with top kids. Let's give TM a wonderful send off - he deserves it.

Our new coach is highly respected and decorated in our game and has not put a foot wrong at Cas. Whether he was your choice or not, he is our new coach and thankfully we have a franchise and still our hopes of the new ground. If ever there was a time we needed as much positivity and support it is now.

Welcome to Cas Ian! And thank you Terry. I for one wish u both the best and I'm right behind you in 2012!!!

Bigal1 - It could be like master Vs apprentice when our 2 clubs meet next year.

Basil (51 years old Aussie, won everything in the British game, vastly experienced)
Vs
............. (34 year old yorkshire lad, first senior coaching position, new kid on the block)

Would have loved for us to pot Agar and bring him in.

I must admit i'm coming round to the idea of IM possibly been a good choice by the Tigers. Other than Brian Noble who would have that much experience ?

Must admit I'm a bit surprised at the dismissive attitude towards Millward overall.

You mention Noble but let's face it, ability wise as a coach they are about the same level (though I'd say Millward better). Noble IMO is NOT a Cas coach. When you say Castleford you think good exciting rugby and bringing good you haters through... Are t they the two things often thrown at Noblr as critiscm?
