When it was announced earlier this year he'd be leaving I was pretty gutted as last year he was great, and had a top year in 2011 under Terry Matterson.

However, this year he's been pretty poor and hasn't been in the side as much - whether this is due simply to poor form or because his mind is elsewhere is uncertain, but he has potential. Not the biggest second row, but when he ran with pace around the ruck in 2011 he was occasionally pretty devastating off the bench - scoring with his first touch of the game a few times I remember - and played above his weight.

I must admit I'm glad to see we've got Frankie Mariano in his place - I feel at Cas we have quite a physically small team, with players like Thompson in the pack we sometimes struggle against bigger, stronger forwards.

If you can get him back in that form, he'll do a good job, otherwise on the 2013 form even under Powell I imagine he'll be a squad player at best.

Hull obviously signed him on the back of his previous season when he played his best rugby, ironically Thats when he struggled to get in the team and his best performances were off the bench, this season has been a polar opposite and he wont be missed.

Jordan who ?

Will he end up being another Cas player who finds the grass not as lush after all?

He will have plenty of travel options over to humberside - that is for sure.

Won't be missed for me, his defence is shocking

Poor as a three-quarter and struggles frequently.

One of the strongest players at the club despite his frame and can put that to good use in attack. Sadly, his deficiencies in defence will end up costing a lot of tries based on his performances this season.

Hope you have good centres that can help him out.

If Adam Pearson has such a hard on for cas player's, why doesn't he just buy the club, then he's got them all.

Stop moaning your getting Tom Briscoe

Where did you hear about0 Tom Briscoe? Twitter?????

yaaawn. Tom Briscoe to Cas. Crazy talk that one.

Mikel Ford announced it to the world on Radio Humberside just forty minutes ago.

Why would he lie ?

vinnie

Copied mate , sorry to disappoint.

Quite like his abrasiveness though

We should have:

Watts
Westerman
Arundal
Thompson
Walker

You might have:

Lynch
Dixon
Tansey
Ellis
Seymour

5 all, so for the moaning about us having ex Cas players, you have the same about of ex Hull players.
