Signs for FC.

But I, as well as others told you this ages ago. Worst kept secret.

We all knew and posted it on here before Hull fans knew but way to try and take credit

it was posted on his player profile on the official site that Joe Arundal would be playing for hull fc next season. We need to announce something positive, and quick

would that be the website that was 'hacked' as claimed by some posters!?

You still have a fair few quality youngsters knocking about, but you don't seem to have any top quality, more experienced players to balance it out and help them develop.

Not news and also not too bothered - I mean yeah it woudl be great to keep everyone, but no club can do that; in our side we have a better proportion than most of young English elligible players and you cant please them all - most people seem to have decided that Cas just wrung their hands and let him go - if Joe can get over his market value at Hull, good for him.

Non-story and limited loss in actual terms at the moment, hardly contributed this year and I wouldn't have swapped Thompson, Clarke, Milner, Johnson, Massey, Holmes, Huby, Walker, Owen for him last year - in the future could be terriffic but then again maybe not.

Not too bothered by him leaving to be honest. I think he could be a good player and to be honest will stand a better chance of that at a club like Hull. But for Cas and next season we need some players that are ready now. We have enough home grown players coming through and I have no doubt that Joe leaving will give another kid a chance to step up and develop.

Just a sad reflection of where this club is at. We're effectively a championship feeder side trying to survive in super league and if the top sides want our players then there's not much we can do about it.

Instead it seems we have to be content to take them back on vastly increased wages once the top sides no longer want them. Joe Arundel is a very old centre and was one of the key performers in our side last season. It would have been great to keep hold of him but we just don't have the finances to do that.

If the two signings are Shenton and Webster then that is very little to get excited about IMO.

After 15 consequtive years of buying a season ticket I'm going to struggle to put my hand in my pocket again next year and won't do until there are changes at the top. The only thing that could see me changing my mind would be some extremely positive news from the club about the stadium and the clubs future. All we've had this year is bad news after bad news and I just need to know that there's light at the end of the tunnel. I, like probably most of us here followed the club through two relegations but back then there was at least hope for the future. I think that's all we need really and if there isn't realistic hope then we should be told and we could at least prepare ourselves for life in the championship.

Hull seem to be doing quite well off CT's youth development. Westerman and now Arundel.

Agreed with the above poster - we desparately need something positive from this club.

You're not a championship club. Your crowds stood up well when you came down with attendances of 5,000 and 6,000 a regular occurence. Not many current SL clubs could do that if they were relegated.

That's a nice comment, someone actually pro tigers you go on Hull site they saying we will be kicked out of league soon for Halifax haha

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.
