Rumours are rife that Andy has re-signed at cas for next season - 4 years being the deal touted. what are your thoughts?

Don't think he can sign for anyone yet. If he has then stand by for more court time.

that will be veyr true so i imagine just like every other club we will have verbally agreed the deal. bulls knew of cas' interets 10months ago when we approached bulls about both wagga and lynchy - i believe cas were told to come back next year as andy is a free agent then.

If rumours are indeed "rife", I'm a bit surprised not to see a long-running thread on the Cas board about it?

Assuming it is true then:
SL is getting faster and more physical so I think offering Lynch a 4 year deal is a bit of a gamble. It has shown that he is starting to pick up injuries and as you get older it does take longer to come back. That being said you can't knock any player that leaves a club for a better deal providing they do it the correct way.

i suppose it will be soon, but on our other forum there is a thread. andy is a private man so nothing will come from him but apparantly there iwll be somthing the the T&A very soon from a director at your club making the claim.

You'd have to think that Lynch leaving would be another - maybe the final - nail in the coffin of the Bulls

Pretty well our only forward with consistent good performances this season

A few years back we would have said the same about Fielden but within the space of six months his form was gone and has not, as yet, returned. Players come and go all the time but the club remains.
Keep The Faith

The Bulls have offered Andy a new contract but not for the length he wants, still under negotiation I understand

Just heard he signed for Wigan this weekend

i find that very hard to believe given his relationship with a certain Mr noble unless BN is due to depart wigan at the end of the season.

I've just heard he has signed for Hull.
And Hull KR.

And Leeds.
And Saints.

And Wire.

Good god.

Agree, and I hope its not true and we can get our act together to keep him
but its not looking good.

Obviously going to Celtic Crusaders then

Not at all! Players come and go all the time, and fine player though Lynch is, if we are to be brutal, how much worse than the Warrington game could we get if he was absent?

Anyway I've learned over the years that the most unexpected outcomes can materialise from controversial or even apparently insignificant sales and acquisitions. You never know in this game.

And above all - if a player wants to go - (and in his case, i would hope he doesn't) then there is no use, at all, in trying to keep him, whoever he is.

So I understand.

Load of codswallop (I hope). Nobody's signed him yet, but I hope it's u who tie him down for a few more years.

If Lynch is available and with Cayless in his last season at Saints I would hope that we are interested. A fine prop forward and one that the Bulls should be desperate to keep hold of.

I hear Wigan and Leeds are leading the pack of interested clubs in Lynch. Not sure where Wigan stand after Gleeson they will probably pay his wife thousands to do the claening in Nobles toilet

That would be up to them. But it would be specifically caught under the Salary Cap Operational Rules if they did. (Rule 5.2.1(c) )

I hope we can keep him but I feel he'll want to be somewhere he can win trophies and further his international career.

Maybe Lynch would pick up less knocks and injuries if Macca stopped playing him for 70 mins every game. We do have other Props (one thing we can do at the Bulls, bring through Forwards). We all know what it did to Fielden. It would also make him more effective while he is on the pitch.

That's a new 1 unless we can't agree a new deal with kylie!!

Every man and is dog knows he signed for Cas wanted to come at the start of the season but Bulls would not let go from is contract and even now there doing best to keep him by making him Captain on Friday.

He Cas through and through and never wanted to leave in the first place.
