Spot on - he may well not have gone to the club offering the highest salary, but there are plenty of other ways to sweeten an offer of employment that quite frankly, Leeds and certainly Cas, don't have access to; he's gone for the deal that offered him the best terms and that's fine and dandy - I've done the same myself twice in recent years and would do the same again, as would virtually everyone else if they've got any sense.

Hope not, he's made his bed.
We dont want an old man, he'll be 35 by then nearly 36.
I'd like to think we will have a good young and experianced team by then.

He had his chance but ££££££££ sign's won in the end.

I think his head is spot on, doesn't need to sort it out. Get yourself to Hull Gaz and play some rugby. Good luck to you mate and I hope you finish your career with silverware. Tha'll no get any at Cas!

Yep, that was a big one too.

Having heard from the horses mouth what happened, made me think an already sketchy coaching appointment was even worse than first thought.

Having heard it from the coach and our CEO, I disagree. I think what happened was correct and I would have done exactly the same.

Re: No Ellis for Cas : Wed Mar 21, 2012 10:02 pm  

As for Ellis, I'm disappointed and to an extent I've lost respect for him. To come out and say I'd like to play for X to finish my career then change is mind in a year I find very confusing.

He surely knew the position of the club when making those statements and we are ambitious so I find his comments a tad disrespectful to us too although I'm not sure it was intended that way.

Needless to say, the boat has now passed and it's time to move on. Don't want him in three years time when the best years of his career are likely to have gone. He had an opportunity to help the club out and build for the future and because a fans' favourite and didn't.

Re: No Ellis for Cas : Wed Mar 21, 2012 10:38 pm  

Obviously i'm delighted that he's decided to sign for us. I would say however that I would be a little peeved if I was a Cas fan at the quote that he has come out with in the statement to the extent of "I wanted to go to my hometown club of Castleford, but then I realised that I was still ambitious and want to win things" or words to that effect. I dont see why he had to say that.

I was just thinking the same when I read it who the frig eats cod.

Anyway chuffed to bits with GE signing. Also looking forward to the annual Jungle visit as always.

You are obviously more continental in Hull, we don't even have a fish and chip shop in Boston Spa so we have to make do with fish fingers from Costcutter!

Looking forward to a good game on Sunday though!

If you think this club is ambitious then you're seriously deluded.

A club with ambition doesn't "improve" the squad by adding Steve Nash et al.

After last year they had a terrific chance to kick on but what did they do? They did what always happens under Wright, they go backwards crap coaching appointment and crap signings.

Another point: Why do people think Ellis has missed an importunity to play for Cas? Cas have missed out on him by being so unambitious it's pathetic.
