Are you sure you have the right player? i wouldnt call him overweight, never mind considerabley!

From what I have seen of him, he looks a decent player and I am supprised cas are not holding on to him (if true).

As far as his build is concerned he looks like a prop should look.

It is all relative I suppose when you are considering the Cas squad.

It must be a sign of money troubles. What with the rumour of Shenton to Leeds for 200K sounds like Cas need the money fast. Maybe some of the sponsorship money has gone missing again.

exactly, we have plenty of good young lads / project players.

if it were upto me, id be looking to bring in someone, preferably english, who is established and who will bring real quality to the side. somebody who has the qualities and the status which demands the young lads look up to and can learn off.

Ryan will sign a new deal at Cas but it will be just a bit time sorting his contract out even though i still not sure he will make the grade.

I cannot believe they are willing to offer him a new contract when you are not sure if he will make the grade.

Still, if he goes I'm sure Cas will replace him with an Academy player.

see my post.

i am sure ryan will become a very competent prop for cas he is still very young in terms of props and cas should keep him. he will only sign if he is offered better money or in the end feels he will outlast TM at the club and he will have a future with Cas.

Not what I was getting at.

More than just 2 Cas players have been offered crap deals and they are not happy.

No suprise really with them having trouble paying some of there players. And they say it's us with the money trouble

no... what you were gettin at was my fellow cas fan seems to think he wont make the grade to which i disagree and your point was saying well if we (cas fans) dont thin he will make the mark why will we offer him a deal!
