I can't help think this thread was started by a Bulls fan for abit of banter because they see us as a threat to the lower playoff places.

They can't exactly lord it on the likes of the Wigan,Saints or Leeds sites now as they aren't even considered as serious rivals anymore and would be laughed at

But the poster said that bradford havent produced any players from bradford..and that cas have produced more local lads..

ferres and carlisle came thru bradfords academy..so they not from your club, yes they from cas..but its us who paid for their developement etc..those 2 i havent counted as coming thru our academy as they not from bradford.so should be both taken out of equation.. like rob burrow..yes from cas..but a leeds product so again cant be counted as a player who cas have produced.

Southernwood aint exactly a super league player..and if owt should be classed as wakeys..even tho now in bradford acdemy.

So that brings you down to 5 players who have been born in cas and brought thru your academy.

Not saying owt against you or your club..but the poster who put that we cant bring any local players thru on the scale that cas do should get his facts right before laughing at our club.

We ish we could bring more thru..but we only have a small catchment area..its a part of what we are developing..ie bateman will be a fantastic player..but its not an area we have looked at in past..our past coaches/chairman have been a win now at no expense and brought over big les, shonny hape etc, yes we were winnign but as soon as they went we had nowt to bring thru..Leeds have a massive catchment area and good to them that they utilised it and it brought them continued success, they are the team to look at at what can be done, much as wigan are doing now, and to an extent saints..but im afraid not cas.

So, again, who in super league is from castleford?


that was the question you asked and the answer i replied to,you cant have it both ways make your mind up what is it "castleford born players in super league" or "castleford trained players in super league"

The simple answer to both questions is: "plenty". A number of players have come from Castleford/Castleford area and a number of players in SL have come through Cas's academy.

Back on topic,we have lost Shenny & Westerman but have young players ready to step up and surprise a few

Long time reader of this board and nothing has prompted me to join in before this ridiculous statement coming from Bradford. Cas will always be classy and never adopt the Bradford way of 6 fat forwards just charging down the middle then one unexpected run by the backs.

How can someone from the home of boring rugby league criticise anyone let alone Cas ?

rant over

Well said.
I think the original poster needs to search on you tube for "The Legend that is Dean Widders".
He will be tearing it up next season.

Welcome to the board mate.

Welcome to the board mate.
