New Coach has to have Cas in his blood : Thu Apr 11, 2013 9:39 am  

The new coach has to have Cas in his blood, to install back the pride of playing or coaching a home town club.
On that basis the candidates would be John Kear, Daryl Powell, Mark Aston and Andy hay.

All born in or around Cas, certainly John Kear and Andy hay would jump at the job, maybe Powell, not too sure about Aston, he seems to be Mr Sheffield and doing a good job.

On Saturday you will see a different Castleford side, whoever is in charge. It was undoubtably a players revolt against Millward, I heard rumours everyday of squabbling, and even fighting on the team bus.

Cas to beat Widnes

Stuart Raper ??? Always remember him when he left saying if you cut his heart out a fair bit would be black and amber !!!

Him or Kear for me !

I just posted this on the Brian Noble thread

I asked Stuart and he said he would consider coming back as he doesn't have much to do these days.

I told him to get in touch with the club, even if it was in an advisory role to Danny for a few weeks/months it would certainly help!

Adrian Vowles and Tawera Nikau coming back as assistants to Stuart Raper/John Kear would be good enough for me but wheteher or not that will ever happen I really don't know.

Do we really have the money and resources to re-locate an Aussie coach (plus his family potentially) from the other side of the world?
Given the way things are we will be looking at the cheapest option I would guess, and that ain't gona be Raper, Morgan or Vowles sadly.
The way the BOD thinks it is better to get someone who we only have to pay petrol money, even if it means the club will not move forward.

Can anyone explain why Mark Aston is never a blatant contender?

I'm assuming he is strongly committed to the Eagles but surely a Super League opportunity with his home-town club must be enticing.

His achievements with limited resources have been nothing short of staggering.

My first choice by a mile.

I don't think that is a bad call.

For me, certainly in the short term, you need someone who can work with limited resources.
Kear and Aston both fit that bill.

Powell has always worked with teams that have maximum cap.
Noble I think is different as he will possibly not change things instantly and is used to having money but I think he would build a good team and club over time. He took the chance at Crusaders so he is not against slumming it at the bottom of super league as opposed to the Bulls or Wigan. (with the greatest of respect to Cas on that comment)

cant see Powell leaving Rovers for Cas at this point in time, Rovers just announced the building of a 300 square metre indoor building to house all gym, wrestle equipment plus a 60 x 40 3g indoor training pitch behind the railway end complete with showers etc, all done after consulting Powel, will give Rovers access to some of the best training facilities in the game, be very surprised if he left just yet

If I was a Cas supporter and with your present backs to the wall situation you seem to be in then there would only be one choice for me - Kear.

Yeah, he stop at Fev because they have better training facilities - righty oh then.
