Ben Castle the goods.......opinion from the Waikato

[chiselhead]

i am very interested in your ideas mate so i dont want to ignore your posts.

do what muddy does and sledge without the swearing far more satisfying.

I promised Coach to be on my best behaviour. I've been remarkably reserved

[brokendown gunfighter]

yeah chisel wash your mouth out with soap

[joondalup dave]

How would you rank the props in Australia?

baxter
alexander
shepherdson
edwards
palmer
takiari
whalley

[chiselhead]

Are you dribbling Guiness Gunny?

[Burgs]

i think your much better than that.

You will be inevitably disappointed

[joondalup dave]

from a scrum perspective australia didnt limp home they took tight heads, i notice baxter collapses but that is very normal against tall loose heads's sheridan hates going low. thats his responsibility to hold it up.

Cheers Burgs
Lets go into business. The rugby masses are definitely under catered for following events. Well watered and ravished with the famine of drunken stupor, one cannot find a decent feed. There is an opportunity begging. The local food retailers haven't switched onto the rugby yet. Want to clean up? It will affect rugby viewing however...........actually forget it

castle was interviewed on channel 10 and was very pleased to be playing in super14 again. thought that when he moved to france that his opportunity was up, and is very glad for this opportunity with the force.

Not one swear word

Castle may bring something to the table for our existing props to learn by. Experience,technique etc. Short term its a good move for us,and off topic....Trestle is shite and always will be shite.

Not one swear word

yes only a diary entry from the wish list of chisel.

That'd be Sekope Kepu, Burgs

Good option- one I'd put at tighthead rather than loosehead as the Tahs have been playing him though. Got enough loosehead talent between Greg Holmes, Ben Alexander, Pek Cowan and Bennnnn Robinson.

My opinion- Meeuws is over the hill, MacKintosh is lazy, Fairbrother (despite the fact I would've liked to have seen at the Force) I think spent almost all of 2006 and 2007 out with a shoulder injury. Afoa I don't think is so great, being next to Mealamu and Woodcock certainly helps you look good.

Regardless of whether we had recruited him or not I would've said on his day Castle could match any of those props (Hayman aside).

Brock James is a great player on the basis of his kicking but I for one would rather lose and play exciting attacking rugby than win in a kick-a-thon. James Hilgendorf is the player we really shouldn't have let go of.

[joondalup dave]

well if not michalak perhaps a ball running lock or 8 would bring something to the table scrum and lineout, and some genuine interest.

meeuws i think is still playing better rugby than the stank castle produced at toulon, afoa was certainly rated by all blacks selected ahead of catle, mackintosh lazy?

i have not seen that in him. i certainly have not seen castle produce those goods. heres hoping he does. i just think loosing a spot where we have the least depth across the country was not the idea of the macquee player rule,
