Well actually Cas are over their quota. They'll have to let someone go just for the ones they've already signed.

Saints are now 4 props down, so maybe the Pies will loan them Mago ?? https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/66301945

Fonua and Faraimo released by Cas.

That alone improves Cas no end. Bad news.

In effect cas have signed 3 players from aus in last few days,

I think they only needed to open up 1 quota spot to register their incoming signings.

Opening 2 I think paves the way for another, which I expect could be Mago with Dupree going to Wigan.

I’d say it’s either Mago or Singleton leaving Wigan to make room for Dupree. Singleton early to Salford or Mago on loan to Cas.

I'm a Hull fan and Fonua was very poor during his second stint with us. We released him and I was staggered that Radford signed him for Cas.

Cas are clearing the decks to bring quota players in by the looks of it. I thought Vete would be the first to go. He was appalling against us the other week and has been all season apparently.

Cas brought in Talipase from NSW comp. Played for Lebanon in World Cup. They’ve 3 new fresh quota players. Be interesting to see how they go. Pretty much unknown quantities.

According to Love Rugby League article they only needed to release 1 quota player to register their current incoming players that have been announced.

I think they must have a plan so have released 2.

Just had a read on the Cas Forum (as you do from time to time) apparently they lost £766k last season....... that's terrifying.

We had one quota spot free after Mamo retired but we've signed 3 overseas players this week so have released Fanua and Fairimo. Incidentally who did you release to fit big Dave in.

Taufua.

Didn't Taufua and Dave both play in the Magic game?

Yep. Temporary de-registering dispensation was allowed on Tanginoa as he is long term injured.

Thought they were getting new owners. There’s a few rumours going around of a couple of SL clubs in financial difficulties. Hopefully we’re no one of them.

Up the Trin

We're not.

Salford are banking on seeing this season out without going "pop" and Cas are practically insolvent, relying on the last dregs of good will from an owner who doesn't want them.

There seems to be concerns about Huddersfield post-Davy/current HTFC situation.

I guess like Salford, surviving this season seems to be the key for us - I don't mean us going pop, but rather stepping up in the right direction.

"Potential" new owners waiting on the pp for the ground improvement. Heard 2 different buyout sums are involved.

Oh what a tangled web we weave.

Salford losing Dupree to Wigan doesn't look good, I think he is one of their better forwards. I wonder if they are trying to sell in order to raise funds

Cas haven't actually made an application for PP on the ground.

And it's deafeningly quiet on the Axiom change of use application...

Change of use > S106 > planning permission app > regulatory reports > let's call it 2026 at best for a planning decision...

Both the quota and salary cap systems are "live" - you can't register a player without a spot and you can't pay a player a penny above cap.

You should worry less about us and more about Cas paying their players next month - I hear it's touch and go - last throw of the dice for Cas, this season.

That quote implies you think we are deceiving someone.

You are usually better than that ng.
We are hardly a popular team in Super League. I'm pretty sure the RFL would not let us register someone if it wasn't all correct.

Seems to me a lot of Cas fans are getting worried.

As I understand it Salford have approached Wigan about the deal after their initial approach was rejected a few months ago.

The fee Wigan are paying is significantly lower than the initial bid.

Sounds like finances are an issue.

With Cas finishing a couple of quota players not earning their place, will Trinity do similar?

I thought this was so they could bring in some new faces ?
