We will not sign Daniel Holdsworth, You can put your house on that one

I think we will be lining up with 6 Ben Hornby, 7 Rangi Chase, 9 Ryan Hudson - Bench- Danny Orr... I would almost put money on all 4 been at the club next year

Why not Holdsworth?

Were not in the market for him, We have our own targets in the NRL starting, With Ben Hornby

Anyone else feel we should be targetting slightly younger prospects?

Ben Hornby will be 31 if and when he comes over here
Danny Orr will be 34

It's as if we're determined to sign players who (yes, maybe at the top of their game at the moment) are nearing their retirement age where injuries are a lot harder to over come. Shifty being prime example of this

Danny will be 33. But point taken.

Experienced plays have a useful roll though. We've had a number of games were an experienced head would have seen us to the end of a game with a win. Especially one in the halves.

Are you Terry Matterson or do you not know that Hornby is a FB/SH and Chase is a SO/H? so why would they play that way round?

Sign that Ruben Wiki, he's the future.

If you need a hooker why not give Adam Milner a shot next year excellent player and has to be knocking on the door of a SL appearance this year.

A name mentioned Ben Hornby could be brilliant could be as frustrating as previous crocks.
Another large chunk of salary cap on an aussie, this scenario is starting to annoy me. Not just with the situation at Cas but with the british game on the hole.
I would much rather see more investment in british players and youth. I know this is very difficult but i am sure it can be done with clever management. There was a big build up to the franchise last time and i feel the planning for bringing on the youth at Cas has been far too slow. I know you can't throw a kid to the wolves but with no relegation the stage was set to blood youth.
I know it is a very tough ask but i would be much happier with a more balanced squad, a mixture of youth and experience. And not so much money to one or two aussies.
I am not totally against southern hemispere players, look at rangi. He is young came over proved his worth and earned an extended deal. I have no problem with that and i have no problem with a player that will bust a gut in the cas shirt giving value for money, just a more balanced squad.

Next thing it is probably time for a new coach one that can bring out the best in people. A player may not be a superstar or has gone off the boil, get a coach in who can do the full package offering mentoring, motivation, development, discipline and respect, plus the skills and knowledge to set the game plan. basically bring the best out of people. Another tough task

For me it is time for a change of attitude at cas.

If we signed Hornby and Orr we would finally have some depth at halfback,and if Brierly can continue his development too that will be an added bonus.

I dont think age in the new signings are a big factor,its as much as how you look after themselves plus the experience they bring to the side.

i would sign hornby because they is no idea if he would like england and he will be like sherwin and old australia look for the money and he is 30yr now.

Daniel Holdsworth is young and i think he would go good with chase. he is a goalkicker and as i top goal kicking game.

I dont think Hornby will be on the same money as Sherwin was, the club was desperate for a scrum half after promotion from N.L 1, and Brough had left for Wakey and Sherwin's agent took full advantage of this.

I have seen Hornby play a few times for St George and is a useful player,he can play at half back and full back, so there are options there too. Im not sure if he played Origin or not....not that means owt at Cas look at Craig Greenhill

Last I read, Hornby was close to signing a new deal at St George.
