Cas looking to freshen squad up for 2020
In the spirit of the final Blackadder episode - Goooodbyeee!
Re: Cas looking to freshen squad up for 2020
Little dig at Mitch Clark in that last sentence?

Powell added: "For us there's a couple of decisions that got taken out of our hands. You move on and you look to recruit and want to come out of it the other side being stronger than what you've been this seasonHuddsTigers wrote:https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.pontef ... 816274/amp
So that's Clark and Minikin going due to better offers.
It's OK to freshen it up and it's definitely needed but we have to improve our starting 13 for 2020 without doubt.

Re: Cas looking to freshen squad up for 2020
Minikin kept banging on Powells door pre season to play centre, now he's going to KR as a winger for more money. I don't want players in my team like that.

Luke Gale is the worry for me IF he is in CAS colours next year will he be able to be has good as he was before his injuries , our attack as missed some thing with out him

Re: Cas looking to freshen squad up for 2020
Set to be an interesting 6 months or so then. Personally I think the squad is short on a few points: mentally tough players/leaders; aggression & players who enjoy the defensive side of the game. Watts has been a revelation & has really highlighted the need for more players of his attitude & quality if we are to seriously challenge for top honours.

Re: Cas looking to freshen squad up for 2020
Absolutely needed a clear out.
Maher
Gill
Egodo
Ellis
Minikin I suppose
Clark
Then potentially Millo retiring.
I also have doubts about Moors, Holmes and Gale.
As well as Rankin's situation.

Re: Cas looking to freshen squad up for 2020
Russell Packer sounds as though he will be available, appreciate he will be expensive but would love to see a big, no nonsense forward like him especially with Watts and Millo and Moors and Jesse!!!

Where has it been said apart from this forum that Millington is retiring ? He’s contracted until 2020 so i really can’t see him just walking out on his contract if he is still fit enough to play .

Also has a criminal record and prison time of his CV. More chance of Maher busting a tackle than him getting a visa.Easy Tiger 2 wrote:Russell Packer sounds as though he will be available, appreciate he will be expensive but would love to see a big, no nonsense forward like him especially with Watts and Millo and Moors and Jesse!!!
However, it's nice to see that DP has come out and addressed the issue, weve been calling for this for a while now. Let's hope they back it up!

Alright saying he needs to freshen the squad, but if he brings in cheap championship players he thinks he can mould into superstars hit the rewind button 2 seasons.heritage1926 wrote:Also has a criminal record and prison time of his CV.

Re: Cas looking to freshen squad up for 2020
Indeed. ‘Freshening the squad’ and ‘Improving the team’ are two different things entirely. We are at a point where we probably need to do a mixture of both.westerbeast wrote:Alright saying he needs to freshen the squad, but if he brings in cheap championship players he thinks he can mould into superstars hit the rewind button 2 seasons.heritage1926 wrote:Also has a criminal record and prison time of his CV.

Defo. Problem is none of these will be big earners. So how much does it leave us to play with to bring in the quality we need.RonnieGibbs'forearm wrote:Absolutely needed a clear out.

If by freshen up he means replace squad player with another I will be peed off big time.

How do you replace squad players with super stars without making the squad smaller, we all know dp like a big squad.fords wrote:Defo. Problem is none of these will be big earners.

maybe he's learnt from is mistake in the last few years you can bring in a few champs players for sure but not half a squad if you want to competejackknife wrote:How do you replace squad players with super stars without making the squad smaller, we all know dp like a big squad.fords wrote:Defo.

Re: Cas looking to freshen squad up for 2020
I think Wigan may come calling early for Clarke as Tautai as been done for drink driving and could be sent back to AUS according to this mornings daily mirror
Re: Cas looking to freshen squad up for 2020
Think Wigan have already asked for Clark early n was told no unless we could get a replacement in which with hepi wanting to finish season with Toulouse cant see Clark been allowed to leave.

Take some money and let him go. No big loss to us at all.

Balls in our court then, we can make Wigan squirm if they want him now. They've certainly not done us any favours over the years.jackknife wrote:Think Wigan have already asked for Clark early n was told no unless we could get a replacement in which with hepi wanting to finish season with Toulouse cant see Clark been allowed to leave.
