I think most Cas fans will admit he will end up back in the NRL at some point, but he has gone on record saying he is happy at Cas.

If he wants to talk to anybody at Cas about moving to a bigger club hoping to achieve honours he can ask Danny Orr...it didn't work for him!

Anyway, before the Wakefield fans took it off topic....back to the original topic.

Off-contract: Dixon, Orr, Jackson, Ferres, Jones, Isa, Fozzard, Aspinwall, Massey, Thompson.

Therefore, I'd give new contracts to Dixon (2 yrs), Ferres (2 years), Thompson (2 years). Aspinwall and Orr have been solid so I'd give them new one year deals too. The rest I'm undecided on and ideally I'd like to see who we can get in whose OOC.

It's clear that Matterson sees Thompson's future in the pack. Therefore based on who's currently contracted for next season and who I'd give contracts to:

1: Mathers/Eden
2: Dixon/Owen
3: Arundel
4
5: Youngquest
6: Chase/McGoldrick
7: Orr
8: Emmitt/Walker
9: Hudson/Milner/Clark
10: Huby
11: Snitch/Holmes
12: Ferres/Thompson
13: Davies/Aspinwall

On this basis, I think we need two props, two threequarters, possibly another winger.

That will give us a squad of 26.

A Willie Manu Type player and a Mitchell Sargent type from his first full season at Cas.

Would certainly full two key positions for next season
