True little rich, our support I would say is superleague level and is better than quite a few SL sides. The problem is that we don't have the infrastructure or the resources to be an SL side and that will remain so unless we get the new stadium. Thanks for the nice comment though and I will gladly return that in saying that I greatly miss our trips to the new Shay. Halifax are a great club, with great support and are certainly a club who I feel deserve a crack at superleague again.

I've really not enjoyed that much about the past few years as it seems that our future will not be forged on the pitch. It almost seems that the sport is kind of irrelevant as the main concern being a CAS fan is whether we can get a new stadium. If we are going to get our stadium then great, if not then I'd probably rather be playing in the championship where I can just focus on the sport and enjoy competitive games week in, week out.

At the end of the day, I go to Cas to watch exciting rugby, which means something and the franchise system has kind of killed that. Instead we're just a bottom half SL side playing for nothing, with the chance of finishing 8th the only realistic goal. The main action at our club (the stadium developments) are all hush hush and all we get told is that they can't tell us anything.

For the record I also think Wakefield youth set up is as good as anyone in the comp as is ours, its a shame that's where it ends and after that our clubs start to fail. But I won't open that can up

Ellis and Westwood may be "Quality", Hudson never was....

Hmm, I think in terms of talent he was up there but obviously personal issues have delivered a hammer blow to his career.

To be fair, as someone has said both clubs have got great academy setups and to be honest we can't really do much about the fact that they get cherrypicked constantly, except by becoming big clubs ourselves. Hopefully we are addressing this with our new stadium projects.
