I am sure some people watch a different game to me. I'd go in to bat with Dicko all day and all night.
You have got to watch him in bad ball as well, quality team man..... Granted limited, but there are more with more limits than Dicko............

I'd pick him every week at the momnt, even given who we have signed - Amuses me that people are already picking Webster or Carney in front of him every week - Last time I checked they werent Gasnier and Williams?

Shame if his body lets him down though, but I think post op considering how damaged he was last season, we will see him from 18 months ago again.

And Kirk Dixon isn't Josh Morris or Greg Inglis

great servant to the club and would be sad to see him leave - plus we need numbers in the squad with SL experience.

Even with injury problems we need some backs in the squad, don't forget we have just loaned out james clare and ben johnseon (Ben was down London for the challenge cup and seems a great kid - really level headed and an ultimate pro in the making)

I was talking to one of the Directors from Hull K R today and he told me they are trying to sign Kirk Dixon to replace Jake Webster, thoughts anyone. I for one would be sad to see him go he adds a lot to the team and is the best we have under the high ball.

There replacement for Webster was Sean Gleeson. with Sam Latus on the new signings of Omari Caro & Alex Brown for the winger to replace Craig Hall moving to fullback.

FB: C Hall

Kirk Dixon is one of Castleford's most reliable players good under high bomb but he is a better winger then centre. he as a great kick return and always gives 100% every time he pulls on the black & amber jersey. I think he will get a lot better with Shenton back on his inside of him, Back in 2009 they both got 19 tries each and i think that is one of the best winger/centre partnership that cas have had in the super league era. probably only Rogers & Eagar partnership was better.

Re: Kirk Dixon : Fri Oct 26, 2012 12:45 pm  

I always liked Leon Pryce as a winger. Although the game has kinda left hime behind really. But Darren Rogers wouldn't have been half as (semi) prolific as he was if it wasn't for Eagar on his inside

Michael Eagar - what a player !!! The same can be said for Dale Fritz and Adrian Vowles. If only we could go back in time and bring them to our team in 2013 and they were at their prime.

Agree with you 100% dixon for me is the best option on the wing we have, a very underrated player, with some people the only thing they look for in a winger is speed, dixon doesn't have that but he has all the other attributes needed to be a good winger. He is a good defender when played on the wing and i would rather have him there that some one who is fast but cant defend like ainscough. The only reason i can think why people bag him (other than his speed) is last season, but considering he shouldn't have even played with the injuries he had, was playing out of position and was playing in a poorly performing team he didn't do that badly and wasn't anywhere near our top 10 worst performers last season.

Not happening, according to the player himself.
