Because he is very highly rated by the club's coaching and conditioning staff. I expect him to have a very good season for yourselves as a real work-horse back-rower, nothing flash but every team needs one, before returning to Warrington.

He's at an age where he needs to playing at the top level each week and whilst he wouldn't get that at Warrington I'd imagine he'll make the Cas 17 on a regular basis.

Obviously hoping Mitchell as a 'Scott Moore-at-Hudds' type of season and returns to have an impact in 2013.

While Wire staff and fans would undoubtedly like this to happen, I think a good majority of the supporters have seen enough of Mitchell to think lower end Super League/Championship, is probably about as far as the lad can go.
