Very good point. I have no issue with Agar but JK worked a miracle last year IMHO. You don't need to build one up by knocking down the other, they both had/have difficult jobs to do - way beyond the ability range of anyone on here unless Wayne Bennett has taken to posting on here. You never know

Thats the £12million question.

They will get the same thing they got out of selling Wheldon Road to a Super Market, just Opus and Cas will receive less cash.

They're a company that make money doing this sort of thing, and an area as big as what Cas are letting them sell will give them a nice tidy profit, so why wouldn't they want to sell it?

I was comparing the last few seasons with (admittedly one TV game) how Batley played. I don't expect us to do much this season, so playing entertaining rugby and competing while the team grows to know each other will do me fine.

it's a question that should be levelled at some within council circles, because the rumours are that there is a lot of effort going in to moving a planning gain from one place to another.

I understand why they would want to sell WR for housing and get their cut, that bit makes sense. What I don't get is how does it tie in with the sale of the Nestle site? How and why should Cas gain out of that? Its nothing to do with them, surely the money will be Nestles', less opus' cut?

It will be, Opus will just have land deals with Nestle as well as Cas.

Opus are going to do very well out of this, set out with 1 bit of land end up with 2 just down the road from each other both sold, cracking business by them.

Nice work if you can get it!

Not sure I follow. Are you suggesting that the council might want a company to pay over the odds for a piece of land based on what theoretically could be built there, even if the likelihood of it happening is remote?

Or are we talking about a sale of land including a levy put into a section 106 agreement to provide additional monies for another build next to, lets say, a motorway?

I actually thought we played some good rugby under Kear. The last 18 months were pretty dire, but with what was happening with the club and the quality of players we had, that is only to be expected. The play-off season was good to watch, and we started the following year like an house on fire. It weren't till we lost Brough, Tronc and Newton in quick succession that things started to go down hill, as I'm sure it would at any club which lost three such influencial players. Having said that, we're throwing it about well this year and we just need that killer instinct when we are dominating teams. I'm sure having Amor back will help, and if Smith and John can click at half-back then I'm sure the wins will start coming.

We did, some great stuff (by our recent standards )from 2007 - 2009 - the decline on field had little to do with JK although I'm sure he did what was best for him towards the end - who wouldn't.

Could it be that with Tigers fans on board they would have less resistance to building on Nestles site, the couple of rows of houses between the two sites might not want the development, the houses do seem to be in the way when you look on google earth with any master plan for the area!

The season we beat Saints at home after being 2 or 3 scores down early on was very good to watch. Could of been the same season Klein stopped us from beating Leeds by penalising us to death only for us to come back really strongly and nearly nick it. Although the Leeds game could've been the year after I lose track. Either way we did play some decent RL under Kear that should not be forgotten

think about the 106 agreement at NM and transfer it to the full length of wheldon road. do the maths.
