A couple of props? They lost all the contracted props at the club and had to bring in 2 on loan! (Huby, Emmitt, Walker & Jackson)

As for Mathers, too expensive to be a squad players and outside of the first 6 games last season he was rubbish too so not worth the money on another level.

Full back depth isn't too bad either because there's Owen, McGoldrick (ergh), Youngquest and Griffin.

on the subject of past players Poor old tansey is yet to find a club.

Hate to go against the grain - but Mathers is hardly SL standard these days - he now so slow he makes Lee Smith look like Bolt. The injury did for him in much the same way it did for Diskin.

As for Owen - this is a going to end in tears - he does a "Bai" on a regular basis.

Heading for the championship. Cougar Park for Richie

I heard Halifax.

Useless player.

He blocked me on Twitter after I responded to his "Off to Castleford awards evening" tweet with "Are you up for the 'most missed tackles' award?". Sensitive soul.

He blocked me after calling me "Tenerife Teeth" and "cumbrian f**K" all because I told him when Cas had to wear Halifax's kit that he'd better get used to wearing the shirt of a national league club, as that's where he was going to end up.

Wonder if he'll take me back now I was right?!

Can only be d these days when the team is winning I'm afraid.

He didn't do it for me last season, can't remember a game where he played well, and he certainly isn't a tryscorer, hence why I want to see Owen at full back next season, he should be more exciting.

Which let's face it, at Cas, isn't that often ....

Which is why he looked good at Wire before leaving.
