Castleford remind me of the Salford team of 2006. Written off by everyone pre-season, starting the year in great form, playing good defence and scoring some exciting tries. We all know what happened the following season though...

I had that exact same thought the other day, the main problem I foresee for Cas will be the bigger teams coming for the talent that has either emerged this season of blossomed. I notice that the Huarki whispers have died down over the last couple of weeks and I hope that is because the deal of fallen by the wayside, after watching Cat yesterday I'd be happy if the Doc made Clarke his number one target as buying him and your buying a future star of RL.

Couldn't agree more. He's a class act.

A deal of some kind is done with Warrington Daz definitely doesn't want to leave though. So were trying to resolve that.

MK has posted some cringeworthy stuff on Twitter, but none of it warrants the stream of personal abuse he often gets. A lot of people see it for what it is, a bit of banter (Sometimes poorly judged) but there's a lot more who feel the need to be totally obnoxious.

As for other Chairmen? There's plenty of them on there and some saying more controversial things than MK. However, as a Cas fan you're probably not aware of this as you are seemingly transfixed with everything MK does.

Hopefully Sneyd's future is with us at Cas.

When he tweets things about signing two Tigers, and given you have apparently signed Hauraki and sniffing around Clark & Huby you can imagine how some of our fans would feel wouldn't you?...it appears he is making things personal between the two clubs (even if some Cas fans tweets are out of order).

Anyway good luck for Thursday..

Sadly he likes to engage in the modern phenomenon known as banter. No real need for it but the mock outrage is laughable.

As his player sponsor last season I hope Marc Sneyd's future is still with Salford.
I understand his loan deal eased the path to completing the deal for Chase last season & was to say the least an astute bit of business by Powell & Orr.
for me it was too high a price to pay.
I would completely understand if he chose to stay .
I find it odd that Cas fans would take such offense at us , when for decades . Leeds- Hull - Wigan have perennially picked Cas up players at will, maybe it's the ignominy that's it's us? not a Wigan or Warrington?

Regarding Huby Clarke etc isn't it because they are targets of other SL clubs:- Warrington - Huddersfield ( they're available- at a price )that we are also being linked ?
It's happened to us all too often for us to gloat .

The refreshing thing about our owner is his accessibilty , I don't believe he means to offend , we as fans certainly don't,

I think his openness is refreshing. He could just do to have an advisor sat by him that would make some comments less controversial! The abuse he gets off some is embarrassing. I dislike the man, from racing too. But even there he would talk to anyone. He's ambitious and determined. His brash approach just doesn't sit right with everyone.

Trying to work out why Koukash cryptically saying he hoped to sign a couple of players from a club or clubs called the Tigers (when there are several of them) is apparently terrible and classless, but Powell naming a contracted player from another club is ok.

Because he's currently playing for us? He's loaned to us, it's not as though he's just said "Yeah we plan to sign a couple of Salford players" out of thin air. Unlike your guy?

Come on - I understand that Koukash is the holy grail over in Salford but the guy needs to learn to air his dirty laundry away from Twitter like a professional. No other Chairman would dream of engaging in ing contests with fans of other clubs.

Show me where he's said "Yeah, we plan to sign a couple of Castleford players".

I don't care where's Sneyd is currently [iloaned[/i. Powell has openly said that the club are trying to sign a player contracted by another club.

And yet I still don't understand how you think the two are incomparable. He said "two Tigers" which could mean one of two teams. In the competition he's in? There's one. He's stirring things up on Twitter and it's petty. If it was any other chairman you guys would be agreeing but unfortunately he seems to have bought you blinders with all that disposable money.

Could be 3 he has already shown interest in a Leicester tigers player this year , so it isn`t necessarily Cas or Wests he`s talking about
