Keeping Whitbread would of been immense, but he’ll surely have suitors in SL and NRL i reckon, especially how young he is. I don’t think one fan would be sad to see Proctor go.
The Powell rumour is interesting. Would be good to know where this one came from? Hopefully not from the Castleford independent forum.
We want to move away from the duds we've been given on loan over the last year or two. Innes Senior is probably a great lad but he's not very good at rugby. Draw a line in the sand with these sort of players.
Whitbread - We'll have a queue at the door.
Tanginoa - Not sure after been on the side line most of the year. Always liked him and would prefer him to stay.
Atoni - Rolled his sleeves up after Fifita came back, showed some real grit but the initial poor form had already secured his fate IMO.
Proctor - Saw spells of his former NRL brilliance but 5 minutes here and there doesn't cut it. Obviously only a year contracted anyway. I'm sure he'll be glad to get back to his kids.
Langi - Nothing special and would imagine he'll be on a fair salary, would prefer to see him move on.
Lyne - Rumoured to Cas. Would hurt a lot of fans but in honesty he'd be no major loss IMO, declined massively in the last few years. Probably hungrier/younger players about.
Battye - I'm sure he was linked with Keighley and a few other clubs earlier in the year. Didn't think I'd be saying this but I'd hang on to him. Handy player with lots of experience at this level.
Morgan Smith - Linked with FC from what I saw on social media. Not really done much for us but would've liked to see him play more. Difficult situation with Lino and Gale been on contract.
Hood, Ashurst, Pitts and Kay will be key going into next year.

Heard a while ago battye linked with Sheffield. I don’t think hood will be key moving onto next year would much rather see bowes getting a chance. Plus you missed griffin off that list he will be immense in the champ for us

Pretty much agree with that but I’ll add some additional ones. Agree about Senior, he is okay but I don’t think he’s what’s needed.
Lineham - put in bags of effort and was solid for a number of weeks but time to move on.
Kershaw - would be definite keep and starting winger next season. Would be very good in championship.
Croft - keep for me to partner Kershaw as he’s a great pair of hands and will continue to improve.
Pratt - had a few MOTM performances and scored 5 in 10 for York. I’d definitely sign him up if he’s not already.
Windrow/Robson - not sure on these. I feel Windrow should have broken through already though if he had the ability to match his size.
We need a quality winger though. Fax and York may miss playoffs. Wonder if it’s be worth making a play for Walmsley or AJ Towse. There’s many options.
Hope the club realise if Applegarth stays on as coach the “doom and gloom” and “negativity” will follow into next season as well. Getting in a coach like Powell and allowing him to crack the whip without caving into player power is what the club needs most.
