Perhaps my original comment of being 'gutted' about missing out on Hampshire was a bit strong - perhaps disappointed would suffice but as somebody else has said, we move on. I am actually very pleased with the signings made and look forward to the new season.

Now it's official that he's a part time Cas player lets hope Agent Hampshire can do his stuff.

Were hoping the same from agents Finn, Moore, Gibson, Owen and Tansey.

Moore is a better player than McShane. At least he's willing to try and tackle and wants to play for our club. McShane on the other hand, stealing a living for years.

McShane is an excellent player. Ryan Hampshire is the best player of his generation, real top quality, he has got everything, real downer that Wigan have sent him to play at Cas. Would have loved to see him at Trin as he would have lit up Belle Vue.

You must be joking regarding McFlab, I name Andy Ellis and Tommy Lee as two of the many better 9s we've had in recent years. Honestly for once Cas have done us favour.

As for Hampshire I feel sorry for the lad. I take it from here his family absolutely depise them. Not only that, if he makes a mistake or two the Mend a Hose will make it known. Poor chap.

Tommy Lee??? Is that a wind up???

Just shows not to get carried away with academy players, at 16 yr old Tommy lee was rated best player at that age in the country

I never said Tommy Lee was the best, far from it.

But he did a lot more in a worse squad than McFlab did.
