James Lowes and Cas on face value would be a match made in heaven. On a number of levels.

My work colleague who was there admitted he is now worried about Powell going because he would not actually say he is going nowhere. Not as worried I would be if we got Lowes mind.

I'd have thought the Featherstone coach would have spent enough time under the guidance of the Leeds CEO to learn how to phrase a response that leaves his options well and truely open.

As I recall, phrasing responses wasn't his strongest suit when he was at Leeds.
I can still hear his "We can take positives from that" after a bloody good hiding, it might have been true but it's not the best response.

I don't know, I thought he showed great clarity in one game against the Bulls when, after one of Mckenna's passes sailed into touch he was picked up on the Sky cameras saying "he can't pass"!

I'm sure there was an extra word ending in 'ing' in between "can't" and "pass"

Wouldn't be fussed if Lowes left at the end of this or any other year but mid-season is a bit awkward to be re-jigging your coaching team when you're going well.

He liked to say how we were going to 'bounce back' after every defeat too.

Gets my vote, great character who has been there and done. The players would have huge respect for him. Too soon for JP and Sinny

Lowes has pulled out of the Cas job.

Link?

Praise be.

Someone has got something wrong as Powell has been named as the new coach at Castleford!!

Quote: G1 "Seems to me Powell is smart. I am sure he wants another crack at Super League but I can think of many reasons why Cas would not be an appealing choice. Lowes, on the other hand, never struck me as being smart. I don't know what he brings to the table here but I wish him well if this is true.'" It would appear we have given Powell too much credit for being smart, and jimmy we haven't given enough credit. Apparantly jimmy has turned the job down allowing Powell to become the new cas manager m.skysports.com/article/rugbyleague//8693042

If anyone would appoint Lowes ahead of Powell, terms of contract being equal, then they want their head examining.
