Cas have decided to part company with FM
Would we have him back ??
I seem to remember MC saying that he was his favourite player

Paul Aiton was MC's favourite player. As for Mariano it would be a no from me.

I'm sad to see him go, but he has barely played in the last two seasons and would probably be down the pecking order next season with the forwards we have already (Lynch, Millington, Holmes, McMeekan, Moors, Springer, Cook, Massey and Larne Partick), and we have also supposedly signed another prop and might get Savelio permanently.

On a one year deal maybe.

No thanks.

If it's the same Frankie Mariano that left us, yes, I 'd welcome him back. Unfortunately though, two years can make a lot of difference to a player who hasn't involved in first team football. I was sorry to see him leave.

2 years with Powell will have made him a better player than the one that left but he seems to be Injury prone so would depend on what wage he was after for me

Pay per game contract maybe.

He will be 30 next May and has had knee reconstruction.would we get enough game time from him if we did sign him? great player though,might be worth the risk, depends what sort of contract he's after.

Said it where it was brought up elsewhere. If he was still the player he was, Cas wouldn't be getting rid. What would be the point of signing a guy who we already know hasn't hardly played a game in 2 years.

What??? Great player???? Get a grip fgs. His attack was ok and his defence was about as impressive as ngb4c's IQ level. It's a no from me.

Not for me, I was disappointed when he left but hindsight has proven that we got out at the right time.He's plagued by injury and would be a big gamble now

Apart from that we have better back rowers in Ashurst, Crowther, Molloy, Sio, A Tupou, Arona and young James Batchelor making his way into the squad.

No thanks. Not now, don't need him.

Would rather go with what we already have in that position.

Really need to focus on replacing Hall, Scruton and Anderson also adding the 3rd half back

Is this post a wind up ?
Ashurst I can agree with.
Crowther ? Maybe in a few years.
Molloy ? Not as good and is just as injury prone.
Sio ? I like him but not the same type of player
A.Tupou ? Has been, shown nothing to suggest he's as good as Mariano as things stand now.
Arona ? Needs to show more. A fit Mariano over him anyday.
Batchelor is rated by better RL heads than me so I'd leave that one open to debate.

Agar hated Mariano and played him in the reserves as much as he could. A player treated badly by a bad coach. Bring him back.
