I suppose a parallel can be made between two ex players. Would you rather have had Wilkes in the side or Tronc? One is undoubtedly more talented than the other yet one gave much, much more to the club despite their inferior ability.

Would have Stozic back as well as we know what to expect from him.

Imagine if we could have Stosic and Tronc (with Wilkes's commitment) in the front row...? Beautiful

that would be amazing.....

As Sunday showed that forward power would be useless without anyone to take advantage. Imagine Brough behind that pack. Daft as it sounds just those three players would transform this team of tryers into, at the very least, a top 8 side.

You seem to have a real problem with Laim Higgins- i can assure you as a cas fan i watched liam a lot more that you did - and i can assure you he played more than 10 mins each half. Liam is a good lad and a work horse no he may not be some big name aussie but lets face it some of the aussies (not all I hasten to add) come over here on the gravy boat then get home sick and go back after pinching a wage cos they aren't interested in putting their body on the line. How many times have you come away thinking X player didn't have a good one today or X didn't seem interested today, well i can tell you i never felt that after watching Higgins.

The one thing you will get from Higgins is someone who will give you everything he can whilst on the field, and when he is off the field he will have a lot of time for the supporters and he will do lots of community work for the club.

your not the 1st Cas fan to say this

I love that image - Jarrod Hickey is currently in the middle of the ocean, with his not inconsiderable bulk squashed into a gravy boat; maybe his arrival has been delayed because he's rowing with a ladle?

NGB4C - you embarass yourself with your daft ranting; there is no suggestion that we've signed Higgins in place of Hickey, so you're arguing against a situation that only exists in your own head. Get behind the lad, instead of comparing him to a lost signing that we haven't even made yet.

We all thought we needed two props so whats to say we aren't signing Hickey as well. It would also free up Johnson to play in the second row if necessary. Would just need a decent scrum half then.

Anyone else finding themselves humming 'Money For Nothing' after reading this post?

No but I did find myself looking through a thesaurus to see how many synonyms I could find for the word "IDIOT"
