Ahh - that great self producing club Hull FC sniffing round little old Castleford again.

We would be mad to let Arundel back after he turned us down last time and went to the Cods - constantly injured and a player who has gone backwards since he left Tigers - no thanks. I would rather see young Howden get his chance.

That's the problem, as I said its not just our players Hull are after and that's all I can say. I've always liked FC, but I feel like they are raping Cas. It just seems they try to help themselves to anything half decent we have. With regards to players, its a bitter pill to swallow when we have put all the hard work in to bringing them through and bigger clubs just swoop in as soon as they are ready. I suppose if it wasn't FC it would be Wigan or Leeds etc.

So if not players , who? DP? Coaching staff? Luppy?

Ryan McGoldrick and Hull played a decent part in de-stabilising Rangi. It was only visa problems that stopped the move. To be fair we wanted rid of Ryan and were better without Rangi.

Arundel gone to Bulls on loan until end of the season with Jay Pitts. A bullit dodged there IMO.

And those three players were all "up and coming" stars of the club when you signed them. Lynch was also originally a Cas player on his debut so that's a bit redundant.

I think Hull just have a bit of a reputation for coming in and swiping our best and brightest.

He will be at Cas next year that I am sure

As I've said that's Cas problem, they need to look after there young players, maybe if you would have sold Chase a few seasons ago or make the right choices in coaches these players would have stayed.

The fact other clubs are always going to come in for your better young players, but you have to look after them on and off the field like Leeds and Wigan do, or you will lose them.

I really hope this happens at Cas, really hope the rumour about Clarke isn't true.

The rumour about Clark is true. It's a done deal and I can gaurantee you all that. The money we got for him was spent in pre season too to help us build so there's no going back. We are however looking for a replacement hooker as well as looking for another halfback for next season. Both are also true. As well as we have signed a prop from Fev for next season too. Crossley or something his name is.

I do like Richie Owen but I just don't believe he will play. He's now 4th in the pecking order at Cas behind Carney, Dicko and Clare. He's a got a season and half left on his contract so I would say to sell him at the end of the season and get money for him. Along with letting Gilmour F off!!!!! It will free up a hell of a lot of cap space for a good 6, 7 or 9 next season.

Heard at the game yesterday that Owen is going to Hull but doesn't want to leave the Tigers.

Doesn't want to but if he's fourth choice it's best for his future. Saying that he wouldn't be first choice at Hull either. But with Lineham seeming injury prone he'll get plenty of chances.
Clare must have come on abundance because what (little) I've seen of him he didn't seem anything special.

Clare is beginning to look fantastic!

Good to hear, the more young stars the better!
