Noticed Josh Atkinson hasn't been given a number.

I'd be gutted if Thompson wasn't an integral part of our starting line-up.

For me he was our best and most consistent performer ever since he was re-introduced last season.

I also agree with the posts suggesting him as a No.13. When he played in the back-three (the year before) I thought he looked devastating.

Given enough game time and responsibility, Jordan could be one of the surprise packages in the whole competition next season.

re: squad - on paper we look to have a much better 20 (approx) players than I had previously envisaged. Two good signings and we might be alright.

I think he's gone to Dewsbury

is he on Jule reg or just gone

Josh ATkinson is not on Dewsbury's 2013 squad list (on the official website) but Ben Johnston is.

york?

Didn't stand out in his 2 spells at Leigh, Championship One Player ?

Most Cas fans will agree with you on that one.

31 player squad at the mo Rovers and promoted 2 young guns (Beherall and Esslemont)
with no SL experience, the rest of the squad(apart from the 2 below) have either SL or NRL experience. The other 2 young guns(Hepi, Ollett)were in the 1st team squad last year without playing Super League.

Get your facts right Paul.

Did I say just youngsters, though? No. Did I mention NRL experience? No.

Burns, Tuimavave and Paterson haven't played SL. And not all NRL players come over here and have an impact. Therefore, my statement of "they have about 7/8 players who haven't played in SL" IS factually correct because you HAVE got 7/8 who haven't played in SL.

Then you could also add in Alex Brown who has made just one solitary SL appearance and James Green who has made one appearance.
