It seems like we're trying to recruit yet another of your young academy players. (sorry)

Are there any strong rumours about Walker to Hull? Is he highly regarded by your fans?

It was suggested he would be joining HKR. Anyway the Cas player drain to Humberside continues.

You did get some of the best years of one of our biggest legends a few years ago. icon_cool.gif

you're getting the best of his offspring though so I'll say we are even icon_wink.gif

he's a big strong kid and defensively pretty tough - he's a little clumsy at times though and has the odd brain fart play well within him.

Nothing a good coach couldn't handle

Craig Greenhill? icon_wink.gif

No, but seriously, regarding Walker I'd probably be sad to see some more of our young talent go, but I don't feel we've seen the potential of the guy. He's very injury prone and has had some rather serious injuries, but has shown real glimpses of what he can do. For me he hasn't ever played to his weight, size or capability and should be running the ball in much harder than he does. He also has a rather annoying habit of dropping the ball quite often at the play the ball.

It's strange because when him and Nathan Massey came through at a similar time, I felt Massey was far smaller, and inferior to a player with Walker's size and aggression. Now, I feel that Massey is less expendable to the team than Jonathan Walker because of the way he's applied himself. I just feel that if Walker played with a bit more intensity and consistently, he'd be a real quality player.

I hope that doesn't come across too harshly, but I think he exemplifies what is our problem as a team- he does something brilliant, followed closely by an inexplicable error. He is still only young though, and with the right coaching I think he has the potential to be a top player if he applies himself a little better.

Why do FC keep on coming to Cas for our players when their academy set up is better than ours?

I thought they would aim a bit higher than us for a recruitment centre - a club constantly in the bottom 3 in recent years. Maybe its to cut down on travel costs ?

Our Academy setup was likened to that of a "sunday League team" by Adam Pearson when he took over. He has invested heavily acquiring new facilities and coaches. Signed some really good U15's and U17s, the only problem is we have to wait some time for them to come through.

The other problem we have since City got promoted to Prem League youth rugby in Hull has dropped and some teams can't even get the numbers.

As I have said in the past though, why do Cas keep losing there young talent ? They must be doing something wrong to keep losing them time and time again.

Rumour has it Lynch is going your way as part of the deal.

Might be something to do with us not been able to afford to pay the full salary cap. We also cannot provide the success that clubs like Hull FC can.

We are not the most successful club in Hull, in fact we are probably a massive underachieving club. However we do seem to be able to sell ourselves to players. I see Cas as a big club, everyone knows of Cas so I am surprised you've not got a Adam Pearson of your own.

Maybe its the stadium issue which is holding you back.

Arundel , Thompson, Walker are as much likely to lose you games as win you games they are pretty easy to replace.
no way do any of them deserve a big money contract.
We replaced Arundel with Shenton a much better former Cas Player, looks like we will replace Walker with Lynch currently a better prop and former Cas player, Orr came back to us too for a few seasons , players come and go it's not a one way player drain.
It wouldn't surprise me if Arundel was shown the door and i don't think Cas would be interested.
