Home Town Team : Mon Jul 16, 2012 1:15 pm  

Read on another post about RHINOS in Cas. Well for my part (Barnsley Tiger) once a Cas Fan always a Cas Fan. My second team is Wakefield and my Glory Hunter team is Wigan. Please comment

No second team, no "glory hunter" team - why would you want either of those?

I love the sport so having a 2nd - 3rd team makes it interesting. Problem now is if Cas sell Rangi then some supporters are finished with our club, wander who they will support now!!

Personally, nobody I'll be done with the sport too.

Cas can't hold onto players that excite the fans and improve the team and the RFL couldn't organise a you know what in a brewery, the whole sport is a mess.

Cas were here before Rangi Chase and will be here long after he has left the club. The challenge is to unearth the next Rangi Chase to build the team around. Castleford Tigers is in my blood and despite regular outbursts of "that's me done", I know deep down that I never will!!!

Why bring players though just to release them when they become household names.
How are we ever gonna build a team when we cant keep the nucleus of the squad together.

Because it's obviously that RC has had his head turned for whatever reason and is (or will soon be) a negative influenece around the team. Let's cut our losses now and as I've said on a different thread, use the salary saved on 2/3 good players and also use the transfer fee (I'd settle for anything over £250K) towards next seasons salary cap (another 3 good quality players). This would give us 6 quality players for losing Rangi Chase. With an improved league position and a decent cup run, we could easily recoup the transfer fee and be in a stronger position to entice better levels of sponsorship, better players, etc. Hence, RC leaving could be a blessing in disguise.

...then induldge him, mis-manage him, let him betray the club's trust and then sell him for a fraction of the price we could have got 12 months earlier.

That's the way to run a club, just watch those gates swell.
