[quote="Bonzo":23qz4bj5]Corrected. Incidentally, an exclamation mark ends a sentence and does not require a full stop. The first letter of the next word begins a new sentence and should therefore be capitalised. [i:23qz4bj5]Who needs flankers[/i:23qz4bj5]' grammar was actually correct. HTH. :BEAT:[/quote:23qz4bj5]:46042.jpg



Says we are on the lookout for a centre. Surely Mathers must have been on a decent wage? Hopefully we can bring someone decent in.

Not too sure what I make of this to be fair!

On one hand I'm glad that Basil is allowing Owen the chance to make the Fullback position his own, like many others on here I believe it is his best position! On the other as I said above I'm not sure this is necessarily a good move!

Although many others on here would have liked to see a certain other player be sent out to free up some money.

Agreed, at this stage even keeping Mathers as a centre cum back-up FB/winger might have been safer than dabbling in the picked-over player market and definitely better than running on still fewer numbers.

Keith Senior, Michael Coady, Karl Pryce can all play centre and are released. I have heard that you were chasing Karl Pryce.

Have to give Millward a chance to build his own team, his own way. If he thinks Mathers is surplus to requirements then that's fine with me. At the end of the year we can all look back and see if he was right, but for now it does look like we have more fullbacks than we need and too few centres.

I also think after a bright start to 2011, Mathers fell off a cliff in terms of performance mid-year, and won't really be missed on the field. I've always found him to be a sound bloke though, so I'm glad he's sorted and hope he does well with Wakey... except when we play them.

I don't see it as a job. It is a passion and love that we all share. Neil Hudgell:30566.jpg



What's the chances of Owen playing F/B for you guys this coming season?

Personally I would have preferred to keep Richie at Cas as backup, but as has been said, you have to give Millward his chance to build the squad he wants.

I would just like to wish all the best to Richie at Wakefield, and just hope it does not come back to haunt us next season.

Can't say as I'm overly thrilled by it.

However, the no recall option and allowing him to play against us is a big mistake IMO

Have to hope the coach knows best, with a thin squad and not the full cap to play with I guess we'd have to compromise. Personally I would much rather have had Mathers in our 18 on match days, but if we did acquire a centre and everyone stays fit, then we have clearly put a 1 on the back of Richie Owen, so that limits his options and at that stage in his career he needs to play every week.

I strongly believe Mathers is a confidence and fish and ponds man, he will be in the top 3 for their player of the year, I'd have a £5 on it.

On a personal note, seems a proper bloke, looks after himself well away from the game, never attracted a moments criticism or any unwanted attention, played when and where he was asked, had changes in form as all players do but can go with nothing but praise from Cas fans in my opinion.... Form is temporary and class is permanant, I just hope we dont rue that next season!

Good bit of business by the club, too expensive to be a back up player( with owen being a far better fb he would be) and means we can bring in a centre now.
