McShane pinpoints Powell as reason to join Cas

Correspondent

New Castleford hooker Paul McShane has revealed that Daryl Powell was the key factor in him joining the club from Wakefield recently.

McShane moved on the eve of deadline day, and the 25-year-old is delighted to now be working with a coach he really admires.

“I was totally committed to Wakefield’s cause whichever situation they ended up in,” he told the Yorkshire Post.

“But the opportunity came to work under Daryl and my manager and myself are big admirers of him.

“To see what Daryl does with the players he gets is good.”
