| Newton - For me it would be governed by his attitude and desire. He knows that he has ability and is a former international, if his attitude is that he has nothing to prove and will be a good signing for any SL team then we would be getting an adequate player. If he found the motivation at this stage of his career to look at his fitness levels - lose 7-10lb and look towards international recall then he would be a great signing. I know what people say about cheap shots and i dont like that, what i do like is a very aggressive attitude that views every game as a personal battle and wants to impose themselves physicaly on the opposition.

| Martin could be on way out......
Not sure about Newton though, always seems a bit of a thug but decent player on his day. Not sure if he is much better than we already have and I guess he would be on much more money.

| If true, superb news. Newton is the player you hate unless he is one of ours, and I love him now. I think he is just what we want, a top quality player, over the hill or near there is no issue to me, and if we get that big bu66er Tronc then all the better too.

sounds about right to me that.
personally think drew might do another year ok and cant see latu being here next. when is obst's contract up?
would like to think that should we cut our first team hookers to 2 next year then davey could be relied upon to fill in for injuries.

If so then I think St. Chunters’ proposal is a good one. Dangle the carrot of first team action in front of the kid. Money wise Trinity are unable to compete with Hull KR so other incentives need to be offered.

| I'd rather we not sign Newton, i think we can do better with the money from Drew's contract. However if he signs then i'll support him like all the rest

Either he doesn't want to play for us, which I don't think is evident from his performances, or someone else has offered more, which is a big call for someone who must be coming towards the end of their career and at risk of injuries.
Do you think he wants to go back home?'"

| Drew, Martin and Rooney to Cas?
Be very sad to see one of them go, but then again his last club let him go two years ago thinking they'd seen the best from him. Very hard to replace, but we were going to have to anyway sooner or later.
One has done well here and adds a bit of brains and guile, but he's not been free of injuries and is never going to get quicker. Replacable, and in an area we have cover, although we'd miss his ability to fill in at 6.
The last impressed at times, but alas overall not enough. he still may have some very good rugby in him, but we'd be doing very well to get it out of him. Replacable, and for less I'd guess. We also have talent in this area coming through, although when it is ready is a different matter.
Overall I think we wouldn't do badly out of it if the money is spent wisely. Plus it is an opportunity to replace aging & overseas with young and British (I'm being wildy optimistic here, but indulge me).
If true, Cas are paying for experience, but taking a risk on what I guess is bigger pay and age.
Evans coming back would be odd though. He's not bad, but he's knocking on. Can't be expensive i suppose.

| over the hill best days have gone and he will get quite a big wage poor business! Hope Drew stays after the last few games he has showed he could go another 2 years. Hes got a far better brain than Terry and if some of our lads read him better we would get more trys, the gaps Drew creates are great. Top quality player and he is happy at us now, so hope he signs!

Unfortunately doesn't look likely from whats been said on here sounds like Cas are gunna give him one last big pay day. I'd be happy with Newton as a replacement, can still destroy teams on his day and will add a bit of aggression to the side.

For a thread full of unsubstantiated rumours, Drew to Cas you might just have got away with but adding Martin in just shows you for a clueless troll.
The only post on here that has any credibility is that of Bellycouldtackle in my eyes because I know his info is usually good, and as he clearly suggest nothing is final so troll off.

| how the hell can cas aford to pay that kind of money, they have no sugar daddy, probably a bigger wage bill than ours with an almost similiar salary cap!
I for one will be gued if we sign newton, the mans a liability but will be even more upset if we don't keep hold of our junior players.

No it is clueless, at this stage it's all agent talk and player gossip which I know you thrive on yet is not always correct.
There are 16 players off contract at the end of this season, you don't need to be in the know to guess that one or two may end up at Cas. I can't see any connection between Martin and Drew. Whilst I can see any team would want Drew I can't see Cas wanting Martin but hey...
As Belly says nothing is decided so why people choose to come on here and proclaim there is I have no idea. Who does it help, what's the point, it would be fun if there was ever any credibility. I don't want to be a killjoy or appear anal but I've been keeping a note of what the in the knows have posted on here over the last few years and one day I may post it
Put it this way a monkey doing it by multiple choice would have managed as well if not better

Oh yes you have, but I'll give you the benefit as clearly you are connected to the club somehow (Atkins stalker perhaps ).
I know loads of things told to me by some of the absolute top people in the game, and they still end up being wrong. I've learned that you just don't believe it until it happens in this game no matter who tells you - and if I were you I wouldn't bet on Brad moving just yet despite what you and I hear

Yet another mindblowingly analysis. Bet you said that about Drew when we signed him. Newton - different player for a different job. Maybe his job will be to protect a certain young 18 year old Academy starlet who may cement his place next season - can you guess who I mean?

| Id be happy for Davey to learn his trade under Newton. I'd also be happy for him to learn it under Drew. Win win either way for me. Could end up that he learns it under someone else as nothing is concrete either way.

| Very interesting and considering some of our bright prospects on the verge of signing on full time with us next year, they're gonna need someone of Terry's experience to look up to.

| Perm any few from plenty, maybe Obst & Latu are going, leaving Drew & Newton as 1st choice hookers, with Davey & Blake as back-up? No doubt all will be revealed i the fullness of time.
