Ever thought he's replacing Higgins?

Jackson is a solid player who will strengthen the defence, which is what's needed.

Maybe Boyle wants to leave ?

Having known Ryan since the day he played his first game for Half Acres at Sharlston where he took the ball and ran towards his own posts, it was patently obvious to even a blind man that Ryan was going to make in SL.

Seeing him develop into the physique and stature of an accomplished player and be a part of Cas Tigers is all that Ryan ever hoped for.

I cannot for the life of my undersatnd why we are 'fannying' about with scuttlebutt about a journeyman SL player as Jackson.

Ryan Boyle examplifies to the rank and file supporters what it is to be a local lad 'made good'.......if clubs with such accomplished academy set ups as Leeds, Pies and Stains are sniffin' round Ryan then what the firking hell are our deveopment staff and TM contemplating not REWARDING loyalty by giving him a contracts as benifits his undoubted ability, as it appears that these clubs can spot exceptional talent.

I sometimes despair of the commings and goings at Tigers ........

FIONA, JACKSON or RYAN BOYLE........you choose, no brainer really, but hell, this is Cas Tigers...........................can't spake

did some not do the same with hendo? really think if boyle go's and drew and jackson and martin come then TM should go!!

That's silly talk, I would be disappointed to see Boyle go and those 2 brought in but if that is the choice TM makes then he is responsible for that decision and should be judged on what effect that decision has in the coming seasons.

We did do the same with Hendo, but by then it was obviously too late, decisions had been made and actions put in motion. It's not too late to let the board and TM know our thoughts on Boyle though.

dont you mean coming season? drew 35 martin 31 and boyle 21 he will be the only one of the three around in coming seasons

Don't get me wrong, I think it's a silly move as well, but if we get those players in and go onto win something. Or if Boyle doesn't make it elsewhere. Then you have to say that TM made a good decision, you can't say he should go based on a decision that we don't know the outcome of.

But again, I would rather it didn't happen and Boyle remained where he belongs.

speculation

If Cas don't keep home grown talent it is madness. Has TM fallen out with Boyle ? The players rumoured to be coming to cas apart from Snitch are too old imho.

I am not in favour of letting boyle go id give him 3yr deal asap let him develop with sargent as a mentor on the pitch. Snith I agree with paltyed very well this year.

I can recall an interview not sure if on tiger tv or not where matterson said we were looking for experienced super league players for recruits this year I maybe wrong can anyone else recall this.
