I'm fed up of all these rumour threads which never quote a source. They've all been merged here, as will all future incarnations if new threads are created.

Last Tackle.com rumouring that we've signed Dane Nielsen from Melbourne

That's not Lasttackle. That's me and it's just something I've heard on the grapevine - might be something in it, might not.

Damn name changing twitterer

Haha. That was a necessary change.

Heard that name myself today.

Or maybe it could be to do with sherwin playing as well, catching up with a friend...



No thats a daft reason, your right your going to sign Westerman and McGoldrick and no doubt get Saints to release Shenton from his deal.

westerman joining us.announcement this week????

Would you like a wager on this "announcement"?

Deluded. Given he's got two years left on his current deal at Cas, plus an extra financial incentive for us then I'd say you'd be looking at a fee of £300k. More than likely £400k with Warrington's suppposed interest.

Warrington, Hull FC. Who is next to be, allegedly, signing Joe Westerman ?

York City Knights?

nah I heard Gateshead Thunder or even Bramley Buffaloes

haha really? Nar, all joking aside he's signing on for Cas Panthers next season

Your a touchy bunch when it comes to this Westerman fella arnt you

Touchy? No, not at all

It gets very tiresome when a fan from a plethora of clubs comes on here to say that there's a rumour he's signing for whoever.

...every year.

tbh,most hull fans dont want him!!!

.and at the transfer figure being banded around,we deffo dont want him.i think hull are quite well covered at 2nd row and loose forward so i struggle to see what he would bring

where has all the westerman leaving rumour come from ?, is it all because he was dropped for the huddersfield game and every one thinks he wants away. I dont know if there is any truth in this one at all but for me he is signed up for a couple more years and i wouldnt have thought cas wanted him to go and i also wouldnt have thought he would want to go (at this point in time anyway) but i suppose we will see one way or the other in the next few weeks. But if he does go i would think the club would be well compensated for his release.

From idle rival fans speculating over who they want to sign in their dreams.

And it's not true - I've had confirmation. So the Hull and Wire fans can trot offsky to their own board.

Anyone who believes the Westerman rumours is stupid, He is going nowhere until his contracts up

After reading through the thread lower down, i was just wondering if there is any one else cas rumours fo next season? Reading on the other forum i've heard Dane Nielson (sp) mentioned a few times. But i'm just wondering if we were looking to strengthen on the two good signings we have for next year.

By the way, hi everybody from a new member of the RL fans board

Dane Nielsen rumour is untrue. He's just signed a new contract at Melbourne.

There are many rumours but nothing concrete at the moment.

I think next years recruitment policy has to be simple :-

Recruit players that are better than the ones we already have !

Sounds simple, but sometimes the club can't seem to grasp this. If they want to keep a sound fan base and if they have any desire to progress and move forward, then it's black and white.
