Whilst what you say is true its not just whats beating in the chest that matters, its also whether the body can still take it. The ones you mentioned can. Pitts & Ashurst for us only missed one game between them last year. But some guys are done by their age. You have to recruit older players wisely and in my opinion have a good balance of experience and youth.

Exactly ,and that is where Leigh got it so right , good coach , and a good mix of quality old heads and enthusiastic younger players who together made a formidable team ,until a wheel or two dropped off they were up their with the best . A sharp contrast to us , a wet behind the ears coach and a lacklustre compliment of players , a recipe for disaster as it turned out

Waku Blake was a name I was also hearing the other day

Waqa Blake would be a very good signing.

He had agreed a deal to sign for Cas but someone told him it was the equivalent of a freshwater Atlantis and as he can't swim he reneged on the deal.

Just had a quick look at Cas forum, some of the fans we’re expecting a former Strength and Conditioning chap Ben Cooper, to be joining his former club as it appears he has left that position at HKR. They reckon he’s joining Trinity, I don’t know anything about the man, or if he’s worked with DP during his time at Castleford, I do think S & C is an area that could do with improvement.

Not sure if it's been mentioned on here, but John Davidson has linked you with Riley Dean and Nathan Massey

Cooper worked with Powell at Cas. He's good at what he does.

Two years ago i'd have agreed with you that we needed a change in the S&C area but actually last year with the new guy in charge i thought it was one area we were pretty good in, obviously Kevin Proctor apart. We just weren't a good enough or well coached enough team. We didn't often fall away dramatically at the end of games and managed three golden point games ok. It's a bit harsh if the current guy has been replaced in my view but i guess Powell wants his own team in.
