Alright hally, quick question I'm gonna be 36 next march but I'm looking for a last payday, no other club will give me one but I've heard your handing them out like sweets so anything going?

I probably shouldn't, but I couldn't help but smile at this.
(especially following the earlier 7 year contract post)

To flip the footballing adage, if they're good enough they're young enough.

I get the general age thing and I hope it is something we are going to succession plan for future, but in this particular case I know Cas fans disappointed he's gone so can't be that bad. (Same with Hall and Featherstone). We're not going to get players of the highest calibre and mid 20's, not where we are now unless we spend silly money. So we either have to go older or younger (which got us relegated last time).
