Millward will need to take a good look at the current squad before he can decide which positions are most in need of strengthening and he can't really do that until he's finished his commitments with Leigh which will be a week on Sunday (unless they get shocked by Sheffield this week).

That is one of the main reasons I would like to see Leigh lose to Sheffield, Millward can then concentrate on building our squad rather than winning Leigh some more silverware

Can understand the frustration Bill, especially when our near neighbours are going on a signings splurge but our position is completely different to theirs. They're looking to make a complete overhaul of their squad whereas we will just be looking to make a few changes to try and take the next step forward.

Absolutely right - don't forget that we travelled to Perpignan at the start of this season with just 17 fit players; if Murphy had copped a ban for an incident in the game the week before, we wouldn't have been able to play at all.

It's been a complete nightmare of a season for us and as you say, having limped to the end of it, we're now in a position of having to overhaul virtually the entire squad.

We've brought in some really crackers though & more to come.

I wouldn't get used to these derby wins CT fans. Normal service shall be resumed in 2012!

Funny thing is over the last 3 years Cas have won 4 And the Chelsea Wildcats have won 3 ? is that what you call "Normal Service"

A genuine question - what does that mean?

I guess it's based on a perception that someone now considers WTW to be 'rich'? I haven't seen much crowing about that on our board and the general view seems to be that whilst Glover has brought stability, he's no Roman Abramovich.

Given that - where have you seen WTW fans boasting about newfound wealth?

And there was me enjoying the very reasonable, civil, open & honest exchanges between Cas & Wakey fans about the state of their squads, and all of a sudden we're on the brink of another slanging match.

Come on guys, turn it around before it descends into another fight. We've all had enough of those for one year.
