Castleford Tigers head coach Ian Millward said, “I was in search of an experienced forward who could offer a presence both in training and on the field and Keith fits that bill.Having previously coached him at St Helens, I know him to have one of the best work ethics in the game; he commands respect from his peers and will no doubt have a positive impact on the team. “I am confident that Keith still has some of his best years ahead of him which should also create some healthy competition between the forwards as we gear up for next season.READ MORE ON THIS STORY....

Here here and as the great Artie Beetson once said "bring back the biff"

Hopefully teams will know they have had a game this season after playing us and if they do beat us they will have suffered and bloody earned it.

FLYINGPROP did we send a pack to castleford last year or was it just a lot of half injured/returning from injury/patched up back rowers?

All the best to Keith but his attitude needs to change & I hope for him he can get his mindset back and play as he can.

As for Fielden Vs Mason, if Fielden is all fired up as he says he is & with his new found bulk (he's seriously put on some top half muscle mass) I know who my money would be on.

How early in the season do we play Castleford? Everyone says Fielden went into hiding after being walloped by Mason last time (Willie) so maybe a slap from Mason (Keith) this time round could bring him back.

did we have a pack for the game at cas last year?! think we only had crabtre....infact we only had crabtree all season!

Yes we had a good pack out at Cas last year,but they had a pack of X Giants on the feild Jacko,Snitch, jones,and i think our boys underestimated them.

Think our boys underestimated just about everyone from mid May onwards!

Pretty sure it won't happen this year.
