Either way we will need two centres for next year.....decent one's too but won't hold my breath on that one.

As an outsider looking in, Cas aren't (on the Admin/management side) a big company, as aren't Wakefield.
There will be very few people full time at the middle to top end of the Hierarchy's on a day to day basis i would imagine. RW is probably where the buck rests, as would JE be at wakey.
In a big company it is very easy for the top man not to be culpable, what with levels of middle management, but i don't think that affects clubs such as ours.
As with most, the top men only like being the top man when there being lauded, not when something isn't quite so fluffy!!!

Whether this is true or not, the site has obviously been hacked. The line about this on Arundel's profile was in a different sized font. This was probably cut and pasted from somewhere else. All you need to hack a site is the URL of the back-end and the log-in details. Most 'hackers' just keep guessing until they get it right or trick someone into giving them the details. Similar to the phone hacking going on recently.

Make of that what you will.

Yes, because most hackers will have some sort of vendetta to Castleford Tigers but only wish to add a sentence to a player's profile after all their work in 'hacking' the site.

Like Kinleycat says Cas is a small company with very few staff, the CEO should be responsible what else does he do that takes up all day every day.



Were not talking about all hackers ?? just one person, add to that Most hackers do it for fun ( you watch too much NCIS ) the alleged hack may of been just playfull poo stiring, its not that difficult to hack a low tech website if your of that mind believe me.

For what its worth I think its a mistake at Cas, why else would they say it was one and not a hack.

I can confirm now that the club have swiftly moved to prevent the website from being hacked in the future. Castigers1 is no longer being used as the password. I'm not telling you what it is now, [size=50but it does end in a 2.[/size

I would have thought they were using "password" as the password

Your all way off the password was R1chard

Yes it can.

If Cas have agreed for him to speak to Hull, they can publicise it when they want.

The anti-tampering deadline is only for approaches.

I can tell you now that Arundel has not signed for anyone.

He's the only one that scores tries?

I like Griffin, think he's a good player. Just think he's played on the wrong side and doesn't have the decent centre inside him to tell him what to do.

I said it can't be physically signed. Keep up!
The deal has been agreed between Hull FC and Joes agent (which isn't illegal by the way).
Technically he hasn't signed for anyone, you're right, but it's a done deal.

Explains why he's still in contract talks with Cas then.........

How about if the situation was something along the lines of said agent does not posses the relevant license and was the feature of an RFL letter informing clubs not to deal with him?

Of course that letter being sent out is on the word of a member of this forum and to see he isn't licensed, well that's on the RFL website.

The Hull Daily Mail 'understands' that Hull have gone no further than expressing an interest, so maybe there's been some gun jumping going on.

Hope we dont get him to be honest. Cant say he has stood out when i have seen him play and misses a lot of tackles

Joe Arundel fits in with Hull recruitment policy for next year IMO. After signing Gareth Ellis they will have to offload a few of their "stars" like Manu to Saints and Briscoe is also leaving. Signings like Pitts and Arundel (young+English+future) is the way.

Is he?

NRL bound.

And that has been confirmed where....?

Contracted until 2013

Not confirmed anywhere Wilde3. Some Hull FC fans seem to think he's going after this season - hence the Arundel replacement.

Arundel won't be replacing Briscoe, even if he does leave, we're signing Jason Crookes from Bradford. Arundel will replace Tony Martin/Jordan Turner.

Didn't know Jordan Turner's contract was up ?

Yup, signing for Saints, apparently.
