The point I was making was not that Castlefords youth system is poor.

If it is so poor, I wish other teams would stop taking our players (particularly yours - Lynch, Westerman, Arundle). Next year we will have 15 (16 if Danny Orr doesn't retire) home-grown players in our full-time squad, most of whom will be in the first choice 17.
There are lots of things wrong with Castleford Tigers, but developing young players in definately not one of them.

With the greatest of respect I don't think he has properly adjusted to the difference between RL and the association game.
Daily reminders about how 'I have loads of cash' and 'I will spend silly money' makes him sound like he thinks he is billy big testicles.
Sorry.

I just personally feel you have a hatred for him and you will let that get in the way of any judgement you make on his comments.

Read posts before you reply to them, generally a good idea.

They must be something in the wind that translates my posts into west riding. I have never said Castlesford youth system is poor and if I did it would have purely being for sarcastic purposes. The point is you said whats the point of developing youth if you can buy other peoples players. I was merely pointing out that Cas themselves sign other teams players and if your youth set up was fantastic you wouldn't need to do so. Thats not to say it is poor just every now again a bad egg is laid which means clubs have to explore elsewhere.

My bad. Misread your post - apologies.

Everyone gets in players of other teams. But most clubs supplement the few they have with their own youngsters - look at Leeds and Wigan.

Sorry, misread it even when I quoted you.
Though Lynch is still your best player.

It's interesting that you seem to know the details of Chase's contract discussions. Can you do me a favour and provide some specific evidence that Cas "guaranteed movement on the stadium front", or have you just made this up?
It's also worth pointing out that Millward was the coach when Chase signed his extension, and Chase looked very happy to do so on the photograph of them together when this was announced. Watching the team every week, I could criticise Millward plently, but he has not changed the way Chase plays. In fact he seems to have given him more freedom (I think the word 'structure' is alien to Millward), and has the most try assists in SL despite missing about 6 games.

What evidence do you exactly want ?

Its plainly obvious that for Rangi to sign a four year deal he would want clarification on the stadium front as I would say if it wasn't for Bradford you would be probably favorites to drop out of SL next time round. They is noway a player would sign a contract without knowing if the club plans to improve on that front. Obviousley at the time of the deal Millward was coach but Rangi had not worked under him and everyone smiles for photos.

I'd disagree about that, he is a great leader and has being a great player for us but I wouldn't say he is the best. I reckon Briscoe, Manu and Houghton are all in front of him IMO.

You are aware that at the minute Cas can't do anything stadium wise because the plans are sat on somebodies desk at what is apparently Tesco, right?

But based on your posts on the last couple of pages, you probably didn't and you're really not making any sense either.

So a player from the 5 towns area, a player poached from Cas and one of the few players Hull have actually been able to produce from the city.

That is something we are aiming for as a long term goal. AP said in an interview the other day that he wants / the team needs to be full of England knights and England players. Hopefully in five seasons time we will all be patting the club on the back for achieving this but only time will tell.

I generally don't make sense when people read something they didn't want to. Its most peoples way of brushing it under the carpet.
