very dangerous thing to assume.

There will be departures, But if Powell wants to spend his budget on Chase. He will do.

As for his Visa, He got it cleared after a court case in Aus due to his community work in and around the area. And that's an issue why he couldn't move. The fact he's married a local girl. Gives us a chance, If not. He'll go to Aus. I can't see him ever playing against us.

All Koukash is gonna do, If openly declaring he is adamant to get certain contracted players. Will make clubs up the price tags, Like they do in football whenever Man City/ Chelsea get involved.

oh they will be replaced no doubt, Powell is already in negotiations with players.

Any new application or renewal will be treated differently to an existing one. The fact that he is married to an English girl and has an English born child makes no real difference anymore, the rules have changed. Its a consideration but not a game changer.

The biggest thing he could have done is keep his nose squeaky clean since his conviction with no brushes with the law. Sadly he couldn't manage it. The lad is a quality player but carries more baggage than British Airways.

You are bang on about the way Koukash is going about things though, he is being very naive and may just find he has his pants pulled down on more than one occaision.

I was reading an article recently about entreprener Tony Fernandes the QPR owner who said he feels like he's had his pants pulled down by mercenaries.

Cheered up a dull morning,thanks.Almost plausible;but not quite !
Have you bugged the communication between the two ? Perhaps you just happened to overhear them both discussing things in a public place ? Or a well practised lip-reader ?
He should want to 'remain at Cas for this season and the next'...and the following year as that is the length of the contract he signed,is it not ?
I believe his partner may be the person he loves in Castleford and that may play a part in the visa situation which has recently seen changes to the system - as recently as [url=http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/newsarticles/2013/april/10-rules-aprilLast Month[/url
I cannot envisage the government concerning itself with an incident in Australia when a costly court case involving Human Rights legislation may result,especially during these austere times.
Dr Koukash appears to be keeping rugby league followers at all clubs interested.


As Brian Noble signed Hauraki to Crusaders that would not surprise me.Nor would it surprise me given the fact that Ranghi Chase owes him and his family a huge favour given the emotional and terrifying childhood endured by Ranghi.
I reckon we just need the education department, childrens charity et al. to employ Ranghi and we could also get round the salary cap.It would benefit the youngsters in similar households while attracting more people to the sport.

I wonder if Noble has eyes on Vince Mellars
