Re: Cory Aston
One of the poorest signings we have made in years. I would be very surprised if this kid ever plays in our first 13.
Re: Cory aston signs 2 year
These ' won't be on much ' players start to rack the wage bill up, I'd gladly swap the wages of Clare, Green, Aston, Ellis, for a proven FB, such as a Mead, who is attracting SL interest. I don't see the point of having these players on the cap, when the chance is they will be playing most of their Rugby at Halifax, I mean we have 6 wingers, that some injury crisis to see the 5th n 6th choice figure in any games. I don't get the signings.. I hope I'm wrong.

Yeah fair point mate

Re: Cory aston signs 2 year
We have 6 wingers but you have to look at the bigger picture.
Minikin - cover in the centres for Webster and Shenton
Eden - cover at full-back for Roberts (who himself will move into halves as cover for Ellis and Gale)
Clare - cover for Roberts and Minikin/Eden
Lo - cover for Minikin/Eden
Hitchcox - cover for Minikin/Eden and Roberts
Gill, Egodo - both actually centres and cover for Webster, Shenton, Minikin and Wardle.
Sheehan - a young kid.
If you lose a half, centre and a full-back (Ellis, Roberts and Webster let's say), that sees Eden drop to FB, a new winger come in for him, Minikin move to centre and a new winger come in on the other side.
That's your first 4 wingers down already.

Re: Cory Aston
Leeds signed him and he didn't get a single game for them. Now we have signed him and he plays the same position as Gale and Ellis. I would be very surprised if he even made our bench, nevermind the field. I expect that he will be released on loan to lower league teams

Re: Cory aston signs 2 year
It's not doom & gloom, it's genuine concern at our mediocre recruitment. I don't want to be stood on the Terraces in June watching us scramble into the 8. I feel we have missed a really good opportunity to bring in signings that can establish us as a top 4 team for the coming years. The club must have had record turnover & profit last season, and yet we still shop at the Rugby equivalent to Poundland. Like I say I hope I'm wrong but really do fear I won't be. If I am I'll gladly come in here hold my hands up and apologise.

Re: Cory aston signs 2 year
At 69 I never thought I’d go to Wembley again, was almost certain I’d never go to a Grand Final , and only in my wildest dreams did I ever think I would see a league leaders shield be presented to us on our hallowed turf, but we have , and DP has given us a reason to believe dreams do come true. I have questioned some signings , it’s only human nature. I now go to games knowing we have more than a 50-50 chance of winning , I have seen my club go from the brink of super league oblivion to super league club of the year, not back down from all adversity’s thrown at them, and more than that have put a smile on thousands of fans young and old , and if you think they have done it by shopping at Poundland then I reckon the rest of Super League must be shopping at car boot sales

Re: Cory aston signs 2 year
Can't see what we have gained by releasing Tom Holmes and replacing him with Aston. I don't believe Tom let anyone down last year and stood up well in some big games.

Re: Cory aston signs 2 year
He wanted to go for his own career. Nothing with the club releasing him. If a player wants first team rugby then so be it.Sharlotiger wrote:Can't see what we have gained by releasing Tom Holmes and replacing him with Aston.

Re: Cory aston signs 2 year
Holmes wanted to leave? He was going to be 3rd/4th maybe even 5th choice. Aston will be on less money than Holmes and let's just see where it goes before he bag him he's not even pulled on a shirt yet.Sharlotiger wrote:Can't see what we have gained by releasing Tom Holmes and replacing him with Aston.

It really does baffle me how people on here claim to know what money players are on.

Re: Cory aston signs 2 year
And how some people think ones years profits should lead to a spending spree on players,when there will need plenty of cash to maintain the Old Lady that is Wheldon Road.
I don't know the wages players or staff are on ,but business costs rarely go down,no doubt in order to retain our Pound Land players they would be on improved terms.
Some posters also seem to believe they are better coaches than Powell and co.
I said it after The Grand Final dispite the disappointment of that day.
Going to watch Cas in recent years has been an exhilarating and joyous experience,expecting to win as opposed to hoping we won't concede fifty plus.
This was achieved with more or less our existing squad.
We lost Lynch a wonderful servant to the club and the game but not the player he was ,Monners another who served us well but who's best days were behind him,and of course through no fault of the club one of Super Leagues best players in Zac.
Under Daryl l have watch the best seasons soince l began watching the boys in forty years.
No crystal ball,no rose or even Black and Amber tinted glasses just faith in the players,the coaches and Steve Gill.
Can't wait for the new season to begin and seeing what miracles will unfold.
In the past it was at times a masochistic persuit now lonly look forward.
C.O.Y.F.

Re: Cory aston signs 2 year
Hardly a signing to set the pulse racing but he deserves a chance. Personally i’d have preferred a little less quantity and more quality but in DP we trust.

Absolutely spot on. ..
How many of our fans have got short memories?
There used to be a time when a Bulls fan at work would ask me who we were playing at the weekend and I used to say....
" This week we are losing by 20 to Wake. ...."

Re: Cory aston signs 2 year
I don't think that most of our fans have got short memories, and in any event there's nothing wrong with constructive criticism but bear in mind that you don't have to be a Cas fan to post on hereLe Van wrote:casjunction wrote:
