On RWB that proctor and whitbread going end of season

Keeping Whitbread would of been immense, but he’ll surely have suitors in SL and NRL i reckon, especially how young he is. I don’t think one fan would be sad to see Proctor go.

That's not really news about Proctor. He only had a one year deal anyway.
I'm sure I saw his wife post something about leaving.

You never know with Carter he could of give him a new deal

Either way, Carter shouldn't really be involved in plans for next year. It's not his decision anymore.

The Powell rumour is interesting. Would be good to know where this one came from? Hopefully not from the Castleford independent forum.

We want to move away from the duds we've been given on loan over the last year or two. Innes Senior is probably a great lad but he's not very good at rugby. Draw a line in the sand with these sort of players.

Whitbread - We'll have a queue at the door.

Tanginoa - Not sure after been on the side line most of the year. Always liked him and would prefer him to stay.

Atoni - Rolled his sleeves up after Fifita came back, showed some real grit but the initial poor form had already secured his fate IMO.

Proctor - Saw spells of his former NRL brilliance but 5 minutes here and there doesn't cut it. Obviously only a year contracted anyway. I'm sure he'll be glad to get back to his kids.

Langi - Nothing special and would imagine he'll be on a fair salary, would prefer to see him move on.

Lyne - Rumoured to Cas. Would hurt a lot of fans but in honesty he'd be no major loss IMO, declined massively in the last few years. Probably hungrier/younger players about.

Battye - I'm sure he was linked with Keighley and a few other clubs earlier in the year. Didn't think I'd be saying this but I'd hang on to him. Handy player with lots of experience at this level.

Morgan Smith - Linked with FC from what I saw on social media. Not really done much for us but would've liked to see him play more. Difficult situation with Lino and Gale been on contract.

Hood, Ashurst, Pitts and Kay will be key going into next year.

Heard a while ago battye linked with Sheffield. I don’t think hood will be key moving onto next year would much rather see bowes getting a chance. Plus you missed griffin off that list he will be immense in the champ for us

Pretty much agree with that but I’ll add some additional ones. Agree about Senior, he is okay but I don’t think he’s what’s needed.

Lineham - put in bags of effort and was solid for a number of weeks but time to move on.

Kershaw - would be definite keep and starting winger next season. Would be very good in championship.

Croft - keep for me to partner Kershaw as he’s a great pair of hands and will continue to improve.

Pratt - had a few MOTM performances and scored 5 in 10 for York. I’d definitely sign him up if he’s not already.

Windrow/Robson - not sure on these. I feel Windrow should have broken through already though if he had the ability to match his size.

We need a quality winger though. Fax and York may miss playoffs. Wonder if it’s be worth making a play for Walmsley or AJ Towse. There’s many options.

Pretty much what others are saying although belive mash will dtay ad coach

All overseas to go apart from lino

1st team squad member roberts will also be leaving

Our brightest youngster in pratt will be signing for york

3 or 4 players from academy/reserves promoted to first team couple of good lads couple of baffling ones

Hope the club realise if Applegarth stays on as coach the “doom and gloom” and “negativity” will follow into next season as well. Getting in a coach like Powell and allowing him to crack the whip without caving into player power is what the club needs most.

Are you saying that your doom and gloom outlook is actually because of Applegarth and once Powell or someone else comes in you'll be like a ray of sunshine on our lives?

Dont forget Max and Will also a possible deal for Kershaw

you must realise that players have got to show improvement, the team make progress and the whole culture of the squad needs to change but the coach must also be allowed to change it. This seasons goings on were simply not good enough and to be fair to Applegarth he got off very lightly.

I don't have to realise it. It's Willzay saying it. I was just asking if his outlook will be brighter.

Max is signed for 3 years isn't he? I'd imagine he'd be with us next year anyway.

I'd seen Dagger linked with York. A big loss for us as he's been up there in the top 3 players for me. Personally I'd be satisfied with him playing over Lino but don't see it happening regardless of who the coach is.

Sorry, it was Sheffield mentioned not Keighley.

Completely forgot about Griffin (Thanks TDNC) and not sure how, has been a standout since he came. Wouldn't be surprised to see someone come in for him though.

Jeez PT, its not the time of miracles[i just yet[/i....
Christmas is still 3 months away........

I think he signed one of those dual contracts so it would have to be a transfer fee for griffin to leave. He seemed happy enough on social media mentioning something of getting us back up so I take that as he’s staying.

rumours of Hadley coming from HKR, and worryingly Griffin from Cas (please god NO)
Wouldn't be surprised if Sean Long was Head Coach next year

I heard Griffin from Cas also.

No chance Hadley, signed a new 2 year deal earlier this season and is one of Willie Peters favourites.

I hope the Griffin rumour is rubbish, he is utter dog turd.

But strangely I did hear Westerman coming back. Don't shoot me, just passing it on.

If we lose Oli Pratt to York then that is going to be pretty crap.

Shame about Hadley, went well for us when on loan.

George Griffin would be fine for the Championship but don't think he's any better/worse than Bowden or even Rob Butler for that matter. Providing the money for him is right then I have no problem for a year.

I would take Westy back in a heartbeat but Fev was the rumour I'd heard.

Would be poor if Pratt went though I’d hope he would stay with Trinity.

Deffo no to westerman, let him rot at Cas aaalong with Miller.
Featherstone would suit him though.
