I have been told today that Castleford have re-signed Johnny Walker after an attempt by his agent to do underhand double dealings to try get him to another club,

This agent doesnt actually have a licence i am led to believe so im glad that this has been found out

The same unlicensed agent has also been involved in what would be an illegal transfer (anti-tampering deadline isn't for months) involving Arundel and Hull

The club should report both Hull and said "agent" for illegal transfer activity if this is the case.

Why leave it to the club , if you know names then email the RFL with your misgivings

The RFL are a closed shop, it's a waste of time emailing them with anything because it will be ignored.

RW needs to kick up a big fuss about it (I'll drop him an email later just in case he doesn't know but I'm sure he will be aware).

It does need highlighting , why not drop same email to the league express and others, Saddler hates agents apparently.

If =#BF0000(Removed ) is illegal why does cas and all the other teams deal with him

=#BF0000Mate please be very careful naming people on an open forum, RLfans has a AUP and the section below advises on avoiding potentially libelous comments.

Delboy66(aye of the tigers fanzine)

If Cas or any club dealing with unlicenced Agents its them thats breaking the law not the Agent,all licenced Agents are registered at the RFL and have to leave a Cash bond of 22,000 pounds.

This bloke has a number of "clients" across a number of if not all clubs and he's encouraging players to sign contracts before the anti-tampering deadline.

I didn't know Robbo was still in the country.

Yeah he was last seen sniffing around Wakey & the Crusaders some time last season.

Well looking [url=http://www.therfl.co.uk/operational_rules/authorised_agentshere[/url he isn't registered on either the UK or Overseas Agent List. I know that was published last year but he was supposedly operating last year as well.

Proof? Potentially libelous. You should have more sense after you were spouting off at others about suing them the other day.

i do hope joe does stay with the tigers also great news if walker has resigned looked to be getting back to his best against hull

signed for Hull
The anti tampering deadline isn't for months
His agent is unlicensed per the list in the post above yours

ergo, if Joe has indeed signed for Hull, that is illegal transfer activity.

That's a slightly different statement to this:



One is supposition, the other is a statement of fact. To quote your own words "if you do have the proof then bring it on, other wise you sir are in a world of trouble."

Well, I could name my source but that wouldn't be a wise thing to do with the line of work he's in, so just for you I'll edit the original post.

Casforum doesn't count.

Not there



If it was them I'd freely mention it

Don't do it on my account, mate. I won't be stumping up for your legal fees. Still, after the millions you get from Vastman, footing this bill won't be much of a problem, will it?



Now where were we/you? Johnny Walker... Everyone glad he's (allegedly) re-signed?

Yes



Wouldn't mind if they signed his brother from Huddersfield either.

To be honest Rebel Johnny Walker was prob the best forward on the field again Hull, Seems to be getting back to form so if true Very Glad

I like Johnny Walker, but like most of our forwards I'd like to see a bit more of a 'mean streak' in him. For me there is always room in a team for a forward who carries a bit of an intimidation factor, as long as they apply it at the right time and tread the fine disciplinary line. I'm hoping that Johnny could be our man for this role within the team!

As a guy of his size, I'd like to see him going into tackles with the same ferocity and commitment as Danny Orr. Now that would make him a star in our ranks!!

C'mon Cas!!

I agree with you, our pack has lacked any aggression since Vowles, Sampson & Fritz stopped playing. This is why we come up short against most superleague teams. I think Walker has it what it takes though and Huby is a cracking player, they are just missing that "mean streak" as you put it.

I don't actually think the mean streak of Sampson or Ward exists in the game anymore.

I think they would find themselves whistled out of the game these days - Even physical and abraisive players recently like Adam Watene (God rest him and bless his family) found themselves penalised heavily.

It is a cycle and physicality will come around again in differing ways, but the trend at the moment is for speed of play and the ball is in play a lot more. Just my opinion you inderstand!

New deal confirmed:
