Roll on the season I say!

Cas chief executive Richard Wright "I am not sure where these rumours come from''

Me neither as we open our latest 1000 post rumour topic

Hahaha, exactly!

We should sign Phelps and use Tansey and Nicklas as cover for the halves. Injuries will happen and due to Berrigans injury last season Houghton took his chance. Calderwood and Whiting got injured and Lynn took his chance so injuries will give Nicklas a chance. Longys elbow injury could have happened to anyone and cant be put down to his age. I would like Sammut as he would improve the squad but if we dont sign another half back then I wont be full of doom and gloom. We managed last year when Berrigan missed lots of games and where one game from finishing fourth. I also think with Westerman being a ball playing loose man we have options.

If wire are sounding out Eastmond then we must chuck our hat in the ring as well.

i'm still hopeful of Jarrod Sammut. I'd be be happy if we signed him for 2 or 3 yrs and i think he'd be a great little ace in the hole

failing that i'd be happy with Sam Obst - he's better than no cover at all and i'd much rather see him interchange with Houghton than Washbrook any day of the week.

last season we complained at Washbrook at 6, next season it's looks like we'll complain at Washbrook at 9. oh the joys!!

FWIW Agar needs to give his head a bang if we go into 2011 without Sammut OR Obst (or Moore?)

I would have thought if there is any truth in it it would more likely give the Myler rumour more credence.

Personally , I don't think there is ....but if there was a chance .

neither do I, I know wire are good at 'cap management' but even they would struggle to show Eastmond under the cap without moving out one of their star players.

but wire do have some big stars out of contract at the end of season including matt king whos rumoured thats this is his last year and wants to go back home and hes on big bucks, joel monagahan only on a 12 mounth contract

I can only see Eastmond leaving saints for RU. Cant see him going to Wire.

I think we have better options too this year. Whiting can play fullback meaning we have Tansey to use in the pivotal positions plus Westerman can play 6 and has doen for Cas in the past plus Nicklas is a year older. I think we still need a couple of bodies to pad the squad out and if we can't get halfback cover I would like to see some back/hooking cover.
