Keeping Chester ashurst just show Michael Carter’s had enough, it happens and he’s done his best but really can’t see where we go other than more of the same or worse

Re: Rummer : Wed Jun 23, 2021 5:38 pm  

Must admit I'm a bit cheesed off with this news, not because CC got a new contract but because its going to be more of the same for the next couple of seasons.
MC must back CC with a good transfer chest so his coaching credentials can be shown.
Untimatly it's the fans that are cheated but I'm not sure how the present situation can continue because only the most ardent supporters will offer their support without question.
How can a club recently linked with two high profile players revert back to the norm.
Wakey and proud will soon become Wakey n God knows.
Sorry but the hard up stories just don't cut it anymore and without investment I'm sure many fans will feel the same. Just give the fans some hope take a couple of calculated risks and bring in some signings to be proud of.
I know a barrage of weres the money coming from, unable to afford players contracts and the clubs done well to survive comments will shortly appear but I would say at what cost can the present situation carry on.

I predict that if Chester gets a new contract, Andy Last will go to Cas as No 2 to Radders as he was @ Hull FC. !
They were & are big buddies !

He is not just getting a one year extension which is too long The suggestion is multi years which means we are stuck with him because the club won’t be able to sack him and he will never leave until he succeeds in relegating us.

When I saw the headline I was fully expecting us to have signed someone called RUMMER

What an egotist claiming Westerman signed for Castleford because Chester’s own future was uncertain. He should be subject to the same they give to those players out of contract. go see if anyone else wants you.
If this decision is true he has no consideration for the club because all we have each season is a fight to avoid relegation. We if we are lucky stand still with little sign of advancement, the problem is that it will not take much to see us go the other way.

I'm always impressed with your creativity to twist a nothing statement into an anti Chester campaign speech.

What he said was that the lure of playing at his home town club had a big part to play and then said he couldn't answer his question about his own situation.
He didn't say he signed because of Chester's contract situation at all.

Saying that, I think it's important to know who you are playing for when you sign a contract.

I misread it as 'Bummer' and still thought I was correct after I read the first post.

Yet under that coach he has played his best rugby in years and got an England call up.
Funny how facts work.

Not sure how true it is but a relation of Joes who posts on the Cas forum said Joe thought he had done enough to warrant a 2 year deal but was only offered a 1 year deal so he took the 2 year on offer at Cas. Makes it even stranger when Ashurst (who I like more than some on here) is offered a 2 year deal.
