Now Now Gronk, you must know by now that a year will never quieten the conspiracy theorists.

Yes they had been engaged a year - however it was done mid-week with only 6 people there and majority of their friends knew nothing about it.

Conspiricy theorist or not, it does seem a little strange it was all done hush hush considering how religious Rangi's family is

I can't see Millward lasting into April to be honest. John Kear anyone ?

Sounds a bit early to be predicting that? There are a few clubs with money issues and long term viability issues.

What would you say is the benchmark for keeping his job at Cas??

If it's top 8 and lets say Hull KR, Salford have been tipped as having finance issues too, Widnes finished last this year and London don't have the fans, Bradford are going to get less from Sky and I think have said that they can't run at fullcap just yet, so there are at least 4 clubs in similar to worse situations than Cas.

When Millward went back to Leigh I don't think he turned it around in the first year, so who knows what 2013 will hold.

I don't expect us to finish in the top 8 next season and this should not be used as a yardstick for Millward keeping his job. Now that he has pruned the squad to his own liking as long as each match is played with pride in the jersey and no slackers i think he should be given the whole season to mould his team.

Should be sacked halfway through the season if Cas are 10th or below

Re: Rangi : Thu Oct 11, 2012 6:01 pm  

I'd think Cas would want top 8 at the minimum on his 2nd year in. Which I don't think is unreasonable.

For me his targets should be competetive performances, improved defence (which was one thing he promised for last season!!), creativity in attack (which was lacking last season as we had the same move every play) and 8th/9th spot in the table

With you on that.

As above but, looking at squad depth thus far, more achievable targets would be 10th with Rangi, 12th without him.

Back on topic - Rangi won't be at Cas Tigers next year. He will leave our shores in the few weeks for the NRL.
