Great signing for you and I would have been happy for him to sign for Wakey. I don't think Cas fans need to take the high ground on how the Hull fans were with him, all fans at all clubs can be similar and Ellis has been hammered on here and no one know if he is depressed leading to poor form.

Tim Smith had issues when he joined us and was a risk and had been released by Wigan. Cas and Wakey will never get top players on the top of their game due to money. So a top player that has some risk attached might be a gamble but sometimes you win sometimes you loss. Rangi was a risk Paul Newlove was a risk.

But all in all as a Wakey fan feel that you team are shaping up better than us. I think Ellis will be a lot better player next year as even though Rangi is special he does demand the ball and play to go through him. With a fair share of the play him could show what he can do.

I don't claim as some Wakefield fans do to know everything about you so appologies in advance if some of my views are off the mark.

Thanks for that.

I am looking forward to seeing Brett in the Cas colours next year. He will get the same support as all others who have wore the black and amber. I trust Powell's judgement in what will be a monumentous year for the Tigers.

could be a very shrewd signing and talking like a cas lad already.

Yes - noticed that.

like ive stated on other posts, darryl powell is no mug and knows how to get the best out of his players, hes also very face to face and gets close with his players which is a very good point to have, ive never heard a bad word said about powell where as other coaches i have, noble millward mcrea etc they are good talkers and walked into teams that were already the best in the league, but when they tried other coaching jobs this is where they started getting slated by other players about their coaching styles.
Seymour is a quality player and had a bad time at hull and his problems went unnoticed by those who seen him everyday says a lot really.
powell will have cas ticking he knows the right players to sign, look at what he did at featherstone with limited resources and funds, he had no major signings like leigh halifax etc but had the team playing well and enjoying their rugby and for me a team thats enjoying playing for someone and eachother will prove successful, mark my words cas will be nowhere like the cas youve seen this season they will be up there. like ive stated id of rather signed powell as coach before rangi chase .

Well with a one year deal he will want to impress, and with Dorn as back up if the wheels come off guess he is worth a punt.

Nice to see a bit of squad depth at Cas for next season.

Speaking of which. In the halves we have Ellis, Dorn, Seymour & Sneyd. Good depth and experience.
Need to begin signing a few forwards now

Welcome to Cas Mr. Seymour. I just hope our defence is better next year.

I'm hoping we can find a rough house forward from The Cook Islands, Samoa, Tonga etc in the World Cup.

Think Scott Wheeldon will be announced soon as well.

Good signing. He's not Rangi Chase, but for the first half of the season in 2012 he was very good, his performance against Leeds at home that year was outstanding.

His form dipped massively, and a lot of Hull fans got on his back. It's since came to light that he was suffering from depression which obviously explains that.

I'd agree with that ^^

I hope he does well whilst with you.

He's a very different player to Rangi Chase - there aren't many like Chase - so don't be expecting him to play like that but his early performances when with Hull FC showed that he had talent and the ability to be a good halfback (before his well-documented personal issues started to affect his performances). If he's recovered from those problems, and I hope he has, then he should be a good player for you.

Re: Brett Seymour - 1 year deal at Tigers : Wed Sep 11, 2013 10:41 pm  

It would be daft to compare him to Chase because Rangi is a one-off, even his team mates don't know what he is going to do with the ball. Maybe the team will be more structured with Seymour, and like other posters have said, I trust Powell's judgement. The squad seems to be shaping up nicely.

I've see seymour take teams apart and on his day there's no denying he has the quality. Give him the support he needs and you have yourself a very good player. Just to pick up on one post which says "Seymour is a quality player and had a bad time at hull and his problems went unnoticed by those who seen him everyday says a lot really". As anyone who has lived or known someone suffering from depression, it can be incredibly hard to pick up as sufferers often act completely rational when in company. Brett got an awful lot of support from Hull when his condition was diagnosed and I know that I speak for all of the when I say that I hope he has a blinder next year. Good luck Brett, Good luck Cas. Here's hoping you're in super league in 2015.
