To be fair DNAfax I can't see any point signing a back with the list of backs Cas have. Out of the backs we had on Sunday I would only be picking Barber and Woody for a league game. Salty way off the level in terms of fitness and pace, Tyrer poor again. Ben Johnson okay but that's it.

It would be interesting on the 27th to run a fax pack with Cas second string backs, and Cas pack with our first choice backs. Might just throw up some answers.

Barber looked 2 stone overweight to me on Sunday.

when you put it like that, i agree.

Its just frustrating at the moment for me - i know we dont have the money that the likes of Fev etc have but when Names like Ridyard and Minga crop up as being available (albeit not so much on the latter) its frustrating to see us not even seem to show interest when they're exactly whats needed.

We seem to have a great foundation for the future with the young lads we have at the club which is fantastic but it seems like the present is going wanting.

That being said......

I'll wait to see how we go on when the season starts and what names we bring in on the regular from Cas

On the subject of Minga...despite being an eu member the rfl found some technicality as to why he can't sign for Fev so he's now signed for Torronto.Shamelessly bent...

If he can’t get a visa to play ‘for’ an English RL team, he shouldn’t be allowed to play ‘in’ England against English teams. Canadian run outs only!
Strange rules.....highly unfair rules!

All I want from RM is pick the best team he can from the joint players available. Sentiment and "mates" has to go out of the window early doors. I don't want a 2015 /16 season failure , trying to stick with the same team rather than improve it. The 8s last year showed we couldn't win nor could we score enough. One to one let Daryll Powell judge honestly our team particularly the halves and backs and use his advice.
If I am honest only one back player has exited me in recent years.......Rawsthorne......Faxs then Football Director was way too slow, whereas Hull were on him after one reserve match viewing. Saying that where is Rawsthorne now ....Hull / Leigh? He is a fax lad!
