Well said there.

I think we should always give new incoming players a chance be we start having a go at them, not matter what

Re: Keegan Hirst the magnet man? : Tue Oct 25, 2016 8:04 am  

I like it when we sign players from `lower ` divisions, often those players have made massive sacrifices just to play Rugby, they are not rewarded well, often they could be better paid doing something else, many play for the love of the game, many are just wanting a chance to show what they can do. In my opinion the `lower `division clubs and players are not given enough respect by SL clubs and SL fans, for many just to maintain the club with the crowds they get is a fabulous achievement. There are many players in the lower leagues who have simply not been given an opportunity, they may well have missed out on a SL club Academy.
A player like Hirst can only be praised for having a go, it is very unlikely that a player like Hirst will do a Kirk or an Anderson and toss it off, he is likely to really value his opportunity and give 100 %. If he proves to be good enough it will be fantastic for the player and the club, a win win. If not it is unlikely to be players fault.

It's not a players fault if he becomes injury prone and has to retire from professional rugby at the age 30 either...i.e. Anderson.

Instead of using him as an example maybe make reference to others that deserve it more such as Jarrod Hickey and others?

Is this the type of gem we can expect from Cas fans every time Hirst takes the field next season - or are you a special kind of idiot?

If you look up the word idiot in the pictonary Bren, you will see a picture of tigerades face next to it, with a quick explanation of what one is!

Try not to generalise Bren. I thought Kh was outstanding last year and loved it when he orchestrated the team song for batley after the sealed 4th. He has been on a hell of a journey both on and off the field. I hope he goes well for you next year and I think he will contribute a damn sight more then sone of your previous signings ( e.g. Owen Tansey etc)

No need Tigerade, you're better than that.

That's because he isn't coming from Cas

(we have had some decent players from Cas but, we've had plenty of the others from Tigertown)

You are being too kind here. My understanding was that he had a 'can't do' attitude and would avoid playing where others would have played. He was a waste of money for us!
