rather than quantity like we have this year,i'd like to see us go for quality, but quality players who play in their positions rather than squad players who can cover different positions, horne,wood,kirmond come to mind.

You've signed Greg Eden from us. Which is one of the smartest signings you've ever made

And will cause a massive revolt to our board. Who lack any ambition

Can you provide some info wrt the player, his key attributes etc?

March 2011

Castleford have extended the contract of young utility back Greg Eden, who is to stay at the club for the rest of the season with an option of another year.
The former Castleford Panthers amateur, 20, who came through the Tigers scholarship scheme, impressed at full-back for Cas in pre-season.

"He has since shown great form with the Under-20s," said Tigers head of youth development Steve Gill.

"Greg can be pushing for the first team spot in the not too distant future."
Gill added: "Greg returned to the club in September having taken an opportunity to play in Australia and did a full pre-season with the first grade."

doesnt say whos favour the option is in.....

Greg is a slow developer. Never the superstar, Went to Australia for training, And came back a different player.

I know its only Rochdale, But he get his full debut there, And got the man of the match (IIRC) And was superb, He has had a couple of games on the wing. But is naturally a full back, In the modern game

He is lightening quick, Has good hands and a great step. He needs game time, And is still improving, But the rumour has it you have signed him. And have a superb player on your hands


There is uproar around the club atm that we are letting him go


I would rather you take Richie Mathers & McGoldrick

Sounds a cracking prospect. From our PoV I hope we have signed him. True, classic FB's are a fairly rare commodity at the moment.

if he have signed him along with luke george it's certainly going to add some speed to our back line. Jerry/Cudjoe/Simpson/George/Wardle/Lawrence/Eden - unless simpson improves over pre season i fail to see where he is going to fit into our squad

Eden's departure has been confirmed: "We're disappointed that Greg has declined our offer of a two-year full time professional contract and sees his future elsewhere."

rlLink to article on Cas site.rl

will be a great signing for us - good pre season and could be pushing for 1st team, would say he would definitely be one of the fastest players in super league

Go on Cas Website and search in TigersTv for "9's"

There are 2 videos on there from Bradford & Fev. Where Greg was the stand out player, Certainly showed some skills. That with the right coaching, You lot will get to enjoy for years to come.

Just give him a chance at Full back. I am sure it will prove a good signing

RL express article says we are close to announcing Luke George - this makes me think maybe jamie simpson will be going home at the end of the year

with 2 years of a contract left to be paid to him?? maybe 2 much competition for places in the backs, (not as much as our 2nd row though!!) if the eden and george signings are both confirmed.

Grix/Eden
Jerry/Simpson
Wardle/Lawrence
Cudjoe/Gilmour
George

if hes found a contract else where in the NRL we wouldn't have to pay anything
