I'm pretty sure these SL players came through the Cas academy: Joe Westerman (Warrington), Daryl Clark (Warrington), Jordan Thompson (Hull FC), Craig Huby (Hudds), Ryan Brierley (Hudds), Shaun Lunt (Hull KR), Richard Owen (Wakefield), Joe Arundel (Wakefield)

Probably more tbh

Aye didn't say it wasnt, just interested! I thought there must have been some at other clubs, can't believe I forgot about Clarke.
I don't think our academy is THAT bad, by no means great, but our ability to hold on to our talented youngsters is awful.

That was in reply to a previous post questioning whether it would be better being a more community based club at a lower level where the fans can feel part of something, or the situation now where (from the outside at least) the club seems to be just about surviving with massive disconnect from the fanbase.

I don't think it's impossible to compete in SL (at the lower end at least) without a backer or big fanbase, but it would need some good people in charge and a good youth based setup.

Larne Partick came through the Cas academy system too.

Oh yes - I forgot about Larne.

A few more of Cas Academy players Olivier Elima (Dragons), Liam Watts (Hull FC), Adam Walker (Hull KR) and Matty Dawson (Leigh).

big one today for hudds at leigh, win and we are on the way to retaining our status in sl

lose and we have to win our last two to avoid mpg

So Huddersfield have decided they don't want to defend today.

Shocking performance in first half

Huddersfield deserve to go down defending like this.

On paper and on the pitch they look a very strong side.watching this Leigh just out enthusing them.what a try right on half time.hudds attitude was wrong from the start.leigh give 100 percent every time I've seen them.salford kr and hudds players need to have a good look at themselves

This is great stuff from Leigh, great effort from every player.
