The academy now doing OK.fast hands wrote:This is no criticism of any one , but perhaps in recent years unfortunately Castleford & District haven't produced a lad of super league standard. Lots are playing Championship level which is a great achievement to the lads, but super league is a different level. This isn't DP's fault or any coaches at local clubs. Hopefully a couple of gems will be unearthed and hopefully we will be able to keep them at our club. I have watched local rugby over the years, and seen lads who I thought will make it, but was wrong, because it takes a special person to get to the highest level.
Back to the Gale post, hope he is ok for Saturday, and he is local, we have made him into international class, although to a degree, he is classed as a loiner.
In the 70's all the local junior schools played competitive RL. From Airedale in 1971 and the next five years, Andy Goodway, Andy Timson, Gary Hyde, Shaun Irwin, Bob and Kev Beardmore, Steve Watts and others. From Cas schools not including Airedale, lots more!
Sadly, youngsters are not introduced to RL in school as they once were. The raw material must still be there.

So why has he been in the 19 for the last two games???1973 wrote:ERG2012 wrote:ExactlyFumper27 wrote:Or play Chase and Roberts in the halves?1973 wrote:If Gale can't play then put mc shane at 7. Give him this week to work on the plays. Very different to being asked to play in the same game the 7 gets injured. Still think we will beat Wigan without him.
I don't get why folk want to start moving players around the park when (and if) it's HB out HB in...
CHASE IS INJURED ? ](*,)
Re: Gale
Just mind games me thinks. Seen footage of him getting his hair cut on Facebook and he as got a medical strap on his left hand.
Re: Gale
Don't see the point in that at all. If you were an opposing coach would it make a jot of difference to how you prepare if hes in the 19 or not ? I doubt it1973 wrote:Just mind games me thinks. Seen footage of him getting his hair cut on Facebook and he as got a medical strap on his left hand.
Re: Gale
He injured it against Wakey, he came off after the game and was holding his right hand / wrist and would only shake hands with others with his left hand. I said to the others around us that Rangi looked like he had broken his hand, turns out it is his wrist.

Cant see them pulling out, lockers is captain (god knows why), he might pull a fast one and feign injury.

Steve Gill said they are trialling a Saturday night game to see if it is more successful than when we move a game to the Friday to give the team a decent rest for a Thursday game. He is basically trying to see which night works best when we can't play on the Sunday

Re: Gale
I think a Saturday night will be great. Cant wait.
Re: Gale
Couple of jars before the game, beat goons, then loose count how many ales after perfect.
Re: Gale
well done our three players being selected, I only hope it does not harm our position in the league , I think its crazy to have a non event at the other side of the world in the middle of our domestic season, these lads will not feel 100% for a time after their flight home, and if we were unfortunate enough to have a few injuries this Saturday we will be down to the bare bones when we play Huddersfield I know that they are not playing very well but they will be up for it when they play us,
