And you're entitled to that view and people will agree. Even I agree that some of the stuff released has been highly ambitious at times.
However, that is not necessarily what we were discussing. The information I receive about Cas does not come from RW the majority of the time but other sources. After all, information is often leaked somehow otherwise how would we know about players signing in advance etc. I have already stated I have no "physical" evidence to support it but I do trust the people I speak to.
Most major clubs already have sponsors and Cas are likely to be in the news a lot this season what with licensing, the stadium etc - it's an ideal time for any ambitious business looking for some publicity to invest in a side.

| Quote: The Clan "Gledhill is recognised by me and most other Trinty fans as a Cas junior that got away, to Wakefields benefit.
Westerman and Owen are not Castleford Academy products no matter how you want to spin it, Like I said credit to Cas for bringing them through to 1st team football but don't try and claim them as Cas juniors.'"
I think the RFL would view it differently. Otherwise, why would they be homegrown players? |

Not me arguing mate. I'm just going by the RFL's viewing of homegrown players. Owen has played for Cas for three years under the age of 21. That makes him homegrown, ditto Westerman.
Additionally, the Hull website states"the Castleford Academy product is yet to make his full debut for his country."'"
Not the Wakefield academy product.

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

So Joe Westerman has been on scholarship/academy at Fev,Wakey and Cas ?
So who claims him as their ' product ' ?

Fair comment - what I generally do is butt in when I have some relevant information - if I don't, then I tend not to get involved. The same goes if I think that my comments will inflame an issue - particularly on our board.
I have had dealings with Fully, and I agree with your general sumising, it just appears at times ..... well, it doesn't matter really - he supports his club and that's fair do's!  |

I wouldn't bother reading this bit, there is nothing interesting, witty or insightful down here, just this collection of boring words explaining that you really are wasting your time browsing this signature in the vain and futile hope that there will be a nugget, nay, a veritable goldmine of witticisms or divine philosophy. In reality, all you're going to get is disappointment, a sense of hopelessness and a random word.

It comes down to both clubs being nervous regarding the upcoming franchises so we seize upon any 'good' news that comes from our respective clubs and are equally as quick to denounce any 'bad' news. Of course, both sets of fans have their WUM's but if you ignore them, they soon get bored

| Quote: Fully "In terms of commercial, I was actually talking about sponsorship deals and although figures are never released so I do not have evidence to hand to support that, I do know that our deals are extremely good and rival some of the top teams. '"
If figures are never released then how do you know your deals are extremely good and not to put too finer point on it how on earth do you know that your extremely good deals rival that of some of the top teams? |

I expect they'll just announce a move to Barnsley for the interim won't they?

Almost inevitably, I wonder what the RFL would make of that though.

Smae as Saints playing out of Widnes isn't it?

No, not the same as Saints at all. Saints have passed the criteria for a license in nearly every way other than stadium. Wakefield haven't.
Will Wakefield be able to make accurate projections for an application out of Oakwell? How will they know what kind of crowds to expect (considering they are likely to be there for most of the next license period)?
