Still under contract for us next season, 3 props so far down for next season, Stu wont be going anywhere.

and you do?

Hmmm Stuart was saying last year it was 1 year with an optional extra on his and Wigan's part.

Due to the large response to this post obviously nobody knows what's happening down the lane.

I am starting to feel a little frustrated with the goings on. Or rather lack of darn't lane.

I'd not say no.

Agreed! During the hype originally surounding our coach recruitment process, wasn't the candidate said to be of the calibre that would bring a few top players to the club? Perhaps it is early days yet, but still I would like to see something happening....it wouldn't do 2012 season tickets any harm either to have something positive and real going on, rather than promises that we've all see and heard many times before.

It's time for action!!

Im fed up of coming home from work every night and seeing that another SL club as signed a player or 2 and still no Cas signings. The only news I do see about Cas is about players leaving, a delay in the ground or something that Mcgoldrick as done, lets start having some positive news coming out of the club i.e. new signings, building of stadium etc..'"

Sounds like Nosey Parker getting his info from sites like this - lazy jeornalism. Once in a while though he does strike gold.

Unbelievable ! How Quins can put a side out like that for next year with crowds of less than 3,000 is beyond me.

Funds fron HQ (that were recently going into Wrexham) now propping up the last remaining outpost team ?

Its called a 'level playing field' in the eyes of that clown Richard Lewis

the simple answer is that we will never be able to compete for signings of quality players until we can spend up tp the salary cap limit.
Widnes have now joined the comp and they are able to spend upto the cap. So thats another team infront of us.
Widnes is a small rl town with a good history of success (albeit 20 years ago) and they have sufferd a recent period in the lower leagues due to religation. I cant see their crowds being much bigger than ours next year -So they are not too different to cas in many ways.
What makes them able to spend more on players then ?????
I think this needs answering by the club ???
Cas keep saying our commercial dept is so super and bringing in record sponsorship - yet we cant compete in the player (or coach) signing market and have lost another kid due to poor contract offers.
Our crowds and season tickets sales are solid and improving , we had a good cup run- so why are cas so far adrift of clubs like , hudds , quinns , hull kr and now widnes ?? the only thing I can think of is that they generate better income via sponsorship , marketing and corporate initiatives.

Widnes can spend up to the cap, because their multi millionaire owner!

No thanks wouldn't want him. Although I agree we need more props and some size in the pack I don't think he is right

Another 2 signed with Salford:-

Versatile Australian Joel Moon and veteran Welsh prop forward Jordan James have both penned two-year deals with the Salford City Reds.
23-year-old Moon will arrive in time for the 2012 season having had spells with New Zealand Warriors and the Brisbane Broncos.
The utility player, who can provide cover at half-back, , second row or loose forward, featured for the Indigenous All Stars side in 2011.
The club have also announced the signing of much travelled prop forward Jordan James from Crusaders on a two-year deal.
The 31-year-old has had spells with Sheffield, Castleford, Swinton, Wigan, Crusaders and South Wales Scorpions as well as making 12 appearances for Wales at international level.
