He will take alot of the cap so be difficult to sign others.Must have been demanding near to £200,000

Cas spend no where near full cap, we have at least 400k of cap space, whether we have much money to make many signing is another matter.......

Well Rangi will have been offered alot at Leeds,Wigan, and Warrington as down to agents.But still a good signing and bet you are over the moon mate.Wish we could get a decent halfback at Widnes, as looks like Hanbury and White at the moment.I would like to see Danny Craven play at halfback rather than at fullback.Rumour Brierly coming to Widnes, and i am not too convinced or excited about that mate.

Breirly has posted on twitter that he isnt so make of that what you will.Hanbury and white are decent half backs from what i have seen, you could do worse than sign obst (fc want rid for qouta reasons apparently) as he can do a job in the halfs and at hooker, can be a very dangerous player at times. Good luck for next season mate

Cheers Pyeman i am looking forward to the bigger away support and atmosphere.I just feel lucky i can watch my team in the top flight and i really like to go Catalans in the sun. Well seems a few want us to fail, and be nice to not get the wooden spoon. Hope to see a few of you at the Stobarts.

And the Trinity Derail Dept is here, What took so long

In all honesty, not too bad. Bit overpumped considering he was already your star and contracted to 2012 anyway but that mr spindoctor for you.

On the flip side it drummed up interest on this forum and gave cas some good exposure so from that respect not a bad idea.

If I was a cas fan I'd be a touch deflated but it will be forgotten about come next week. The extension is good news for cas anyway. But realistically he was not going anywhere which means he would have to apply for a working permit.

i for one dont want you to fail, had some good battles with your team in the past and am looking forward to them being repeated. davies and isa will go very well for you after watching them this year, isa is still raw but has lots of potential and davies looks to be a very good prop already. feel free to come over and say hello when you visit as i stand in the away end most games next to the supporters bar.

Having had time to think about Rangi Chase, it is great to have signed him up for a few more years, and Cas now really are in a great position, let's say Rangi has a great 2012, he really will be hot property and the big fish will be back after him, but he will still have 3 years to run on his contract so it's going to take a massive deal to prise him away from Cas, we could be talking 500k plus, which of course Cas could either cash in or keep there superstar player, either way it's a win situation for us. And to be honest what clubs could afford to pay that kind of substantial fee.
