According to numerous sources an announcement will be made tomorrow. I didn't attend Saturdays game against Wakefield (I was at a wedding) but apparently we were terrible (the 42-10 scoreline says it all).
He was a decent bloke though, and came out of his way to help with the newly set up Castleford Tigers Supporters Club so a lot of respect must go to him.

Steadman future in doubt
Castleford Tigers are set to make an announcement on Tuesday morning amidst growing speculation that coach Graham Steadman is set to be given the sack.
Steadman has been under pressure after a disastrous start to the season which has seen the club lose all seven of their opening Super League fixtures.
Defeats at home to London and local rivals Wakefield in the last two games have been particularly damaging.
No one from the club was available for comment on Monday evening.
But it is understood that a search for a replacement is already under way, with assistant coach Gary Mercer set to take temporary charge.
Steadman has been at Castleford as a player and coach for 13 years. He took over as head coach two years ago following the departure of Stuart Raper to Wigan.
He recently described his current predicament as "the lowest point in my 13 years at this club".
After Saturday's defeat to Wakefield he insisted he would not resign and even addressed a sit-in protest by scores of fans.
