Help me get my £5 back : Info Required : Sat Feb 19, 2011 10:11 am  

Can anybody help me out here, as I reckon I've been skanked on a bet with a guy at work for a fiver! I said that Jamie Bloem played about 5 games for Cas in the early 90's whilst on trial before joining Halifax and scored a few tries too, infact i'm pretty sure I saw him score a hat-trick in one of them, yet he says that he only ever played 1 game for Cas (scoring once only). - He gets his information from the http://www.thecastlefordtigers.net site. Am I losing my fiver over some duff info, or did Bloem play in pre-season friendlies when he scored these tries, thus not counting in the official records.

Played against Carlisle in a cup game at Wheldon Road. Scored and kicked some goals if I remember correctly. Don't remember him playing 5 games though. We let him go to Donny I THINK.

Rugby League Project is missing the games he played for Cas in the 1992/93 season but he is listed as a centre. http://www.rugbyleagueproject.org/playe ... mmary.html

I remember him scoring an hat trick against us playing for Doncaster, he played full back that day at Tattersfield, i think it was just before he got done for drugs.

As much as I begrudge it, I suppose I will have to say bye-bye to my fiver, and hope to get it back on another bet someday.
Do Cas still have an official historian ? I know years back (1986), Len Garbett brought out a fantastic book which detailed every game, score, try scorers, players records etc. I think it would be a good idea to release an updated book for us fact geeks, the castigers.net site is great but it has a heck of a lot of missing info.
