Don’t see the similarities tbh. That squad was full of top players at the end of their careers. This squad is full of players who are about to hit there peak years. Also had nowhere near as many up and coming youngsters. For me the only similarity was the wage bill.
But agre that at least this time we can afford them.

Exactly how I see it. We picked up some players on a real downward curve too at the tail end.
There is cap space left so I imagine though we’ve spent more there’ll be good wiggle room for another 1/2 if needed or a real quality pick up down the line.

First few through the banks doors did the rest unfortunately didn’t . The more you hear about those days the more ridiculous it sounds . Like someone saying they’d won the lottery and will give you a shed load ,and you going out and buying a roller without first getting money in the bank , incredible naivety or serious mismanagement at the highest level .

A light hearted comparison nothing more , hence the smile , which if you were one of those unfortunate players it was anything but

Though we had spent up to the S cap or near

It won’t be the latter because he will continue with Hull KR following his loan.

Richardson has failed to develop his potential - but Saints probably wouldn’t have let him go if they didn’t suspect this would happen. Don’t know much about Milnes. So Asi best be good as they look pretty weak in the halves, certainly no stronger than us imo.

| Agreed. I’d put good money on Cas finishing bottom next year - their squad’s garbage and I can’t see them improving it much. Asi is their glimmer of hope - he’s a big lad with good feet but needs a very good organiser with him. Zac Cini probably the worst player I’ve ever seen play NRL (two or three games I think?)

| Asi is a decent player... Certainly upper SL standard... Put in some good end of season performances for Parra
Don't know if that will be good enough to break Cas' current mediocrity .. But until we start to show some consistent SL form next year... I won't throw any stones (they hurt when they get thrown back)

| I agree.
I'd rather stay under the radar and surprise teams rather than bigging ourselves up.
Cas finished the season well. They are used to SL standard and we are not.
