I'd be shocked if Bradford managed to pull in Pryce or Burrow - they would look very good next season if they did manage to snare those two.

In other news - Joe Westerman signings for Hull FC. Personally, I think he's had one great season and then looked very ordinary - Richie Myler-esque IMO.

I think he's a risk at the price they've paid for him, although it is nice for once to see a club make some money from a player they've brought through. This is his chance to make the step up and prove he's got what it takes at a slightly higher level, no offence meant to Cas.

Cas need to sell him to fund a new ground?

Westerman, Shirwin & Shenton Gone, Owen & Chase likely to go... who do Cas have left?

Lookin' like a bottom table side I'm afraid next season.

If Owen fully recovers from his badly broken leg next year I'd take him off Cas no sweat. He is for me the best of the four named above.

Cas need their stadium big time. I honestly feel that who ever is furthest down the road at building a stadium out of Cas and Wakey will keep their place in SL, with the furthest behind bowing out of the competition. Salford for me are safe because of their location, although they could do with getting a move in regards to their new stadium as well.

The RFL stating that one Super League team will definitely be relegated was ludicrous.

Oh aye, im with you now. Agreed!

it is easy to be critical, but i think it was anything but silly.

If all the SL teams thought that there place was safe then why would they try to improve? now they know they have to improve or they will be the one going down. it creates competition between the clubs to improve at a quicker rate.

there is not a chance in hell that all this progress would be being made if the clubs thought they were safe (afterall we all beat widnes last time around so should do the same again this time).

I agree. If the whole point of licenses is to have the strongest 14 clubs according to the set criteria, in Super League then how can you say one team is definitely going to get relegated. It just doesnt make sense.

Because Widnes already have a better ground, youth structure and business case than both wakey and cas, so one of them will probably go.

That is irrelevant though. Until the applications come in the RFL dont know who are the strongest 14 so there is no way they should be able to say that one existing club is going to get relegated.

As soon as cas sold westerman to hull i think they have put the nail in their own coffin

I think they've taken the view that they can't afford to be seen as turning the Super League into a closed shop for the 14 teams currently in it, and the best way they thought to counter that was to make sure there's at least 1 change from next season.

Assuming it is either Cas or Wakefield to drop out, it'll be a tough call on the one that doesn't make the cut.
