Where have you been for the last 12 months?

We've been crying out for a sensible Cas poster, and we were beginning to think they didn't exist. For what it's worth, I think the real test for Cas is what happens next season. No matter what happens this season it's been an amazing season for you guys. It's a double-edged sword though, in so much as it's been a shop window for your players. You're going to lose some quality players and the big job is how Cas manage the transition. I can only see, on paper at least, a weaker Cas side next season. It'll be the true test of Powell as a coach and man manager.

Very true but at the start of the season who would have thought teams would be clambering over themselves to cherry pick the top players from CAS ? I think we can safely say that Clark is also on his way so like you say it's up to Daryl to fill that gap and if it's Scott Moore then so be it we have to trust his judgement because after all I wasn't exactly enamoured with the signings of Sneyd, Finn, Mariano or Wheeldon and I think we can safely say that they have performed tremendously well. So I know it's a cliché but "in Daryl we trust"

Also for what it's worth I think that Salford have to reach the top 6 next year at least or the boss man may start getting itchy feet which I for one think would be a disaster for Rugby League as although he has quite obvious flaws(airing his dirty washing in public to name one) he is great for the game in general and rather than the continuous jelousy from other posters I don't look at the fixtures and hope you've got stuffed every weekend.

A friends just sent me this.

you have friends ?

It's true, Salford are trying to hijack the Warrington deal but I'm told he's virtually signed with wolves

Ah - the old virtual signature - that'll be worth as much as the invisible paper its on then?

Deal done last year AND cash to seal the arrangement.

Mr Moran would not be a man to cross so I feel we should forget this and maybe move for Higham instead.

Not for me Higham will be 34 next year. We need more hungry young players, not players past their best to simply do a job for 12 months. We need players at the club with their best years in front of them that will grow with the team.

I'm decent !!!

Anyone else brimming with excitement for the trip over to Cas next week? I cant wait to hear/see what the locals think of the whole Chase, Koukash, Sneyd, Clarke and Hauraki situation.

It's crossed my mind also how both Cas and Widnes will perform in 2015. Both teams have been fantastic this year showing real commitment but there is no guarantee it will continue into next year.

I remember 2006 when we finished 5th place, the team spirit was something else and our try line was almost impregnable at times. Players giving the high fives, back slapping and firing up the fans in the shed. We were the surprize package of the season but what happened a year later? Despite signing what seemed some good players we were relagated finishing last and a shadow of the team the year before. Let this be a warning to any Cas or Widnes supporter with a chip on their shoulders.

As regards Chase, I have no animosity whatsoever for him as he was total class for us and i'm sure he felt that he had gone to further his career with a better team, Ok that hasn't happened this year but no doubt will over the next few seasons.

Koukash will no doubt be the pantomime villan as he has been very outspoken about his love for cas on social media. I fear that if he does get too much grief that this will further hinder our chances of getting Sneyd.

As i've said with Sneyd & Clark what will be will be.

Weller has really stood up for us this year but hasn't been outstanding as he comes up with quite a few un forced errors. That said I would have loved him to stay.

I have aling we will have to much strength in the forwards and with us being at home I expect us to win by 18. We have to make hay whilst the sun is still shining.

Clark is younger than Sneyd so presumably will be even cheaper when using the magic RFL formula.

Mickey Higham!!?? Mickey Bloody Higham!!?? Nobby's gone. We don't have to sign has-beens now.
