I remember a certain player coming from Hull K R to Fev and everyone in S/L saying he was no good He then went on to Wakey who on their forum didnt want him go ask them now if they would give him to some one else. JT will now be in a full time environment with Cas and as a club you have nothing to loose Compare his wages with mcgoldrick who wasn't doing anything for you it's Cas who are the only winners if he's no good he will be gone give him a chance see what happens

With the exception of Ellis, every signing so far is an improvement on the player they will replace:

Webster => Whichever second rower is stuck in the centres in any given week
Shenton => Arundel
Tansey => McGoldrick
Gilmour => Mitchell

Another second rower, loose forward, scrum half and a winger need adding now.

Has the talent but a big question mark over his commitment to be a Super League player.
If he doesn't press the self destruct button, you've got a decent player on your team.

maybe we are setting our sights too high in terms of the calibre of player we all would love to sign. a bottom three side who cant defend or attack with well documented off field problems is not very enticing to potential signings.

Must be why in one of the York match reports I read the other day they gave him a 9/10 and the best player on the field.

Or we're building a squad with depth and getting in players with a lot of utility value and experience to create competition in the backs.

It was his sponsor who gave him M.O.M award it was his best game for the Knights by a long way but most fans think he is lazy and hides during a game.

One good game, Swinton at home - which York nearly lost - The rest of the season he has been bang average.

Jumping to conclusions a bit there. You haven't seen who is going to leave yet.

Gilmour will replace Ferres.

Who is also not very good.

I would suspect that Hauraki replaces Ferres (if true).

McGoldrick - Tansey
Arundel - Shenton
Orr - Ellis
Youngquest
Ferres - Hauraki
Jones - Gilmour
Snitch
Hudson
Mitchell
Jackson
Davies
Grehan - Webster

Not at all.

1 - Brierley, Owen, Tansey, Clare
6 - Tansey, Chase, Ellis, Brierley
7 - Chase, Ellis, Johnston

Youngquest - Rhys Williams?

Williams is on loan and we haven't signed him permanently.

Brierley & Tansey can play scrum half too, that's 2 players that can play in all 3 positions. Good for injury cover and changing the team up depending on the opposition.

Edited to reflect rumors.

Basil says he's well down the track on an Overseas winger to replace Youngquest.

I know that hence the ?

I think we could replace Paul Jackson & Ryan Hudson with two forwards from the U20s (Fleming & Martin) and use Danny Orr as back up to Clark / Milner at 9.

Tansey can't.

Tansey's best position is 18th man.

Guess we have to give Tansey a chance, but with so much previous at other clubs i think we will get our fingers burnt on this signing.

At least he is only on a 1 year contract. He will have to impress because this will be his last chance at Super League. He will have to play well to earn a longer contract at Cas or to put himself in the shop window. If he doesn't, he will be out on his ear at the the end of the season.

I think if he knuckles down, he could do ok for us.

It was Dewsbury he played for, not Batley.

He was in two title-winning Leeds squads (even if he didn't play in the grand final).

And he played 7 successive games under Brad Fittler at the Roosters in 2009 so must have some talent !

He's 25 and must realise its now or never so how about giving the kid a chance ?
