I guess any of you looking on the Cas forum page may have seen we've been linked with your ex-player Brett Seymour.

I know he obviously had is off-field issues, and hopefully he's dealing with them.

On the field, would you guys rate him as a good signing? Obviously he didn't have the best of times and is seen as quite a risky signing for us replacing Rangi if it comes off - especially in a year when we'll be fighting to stay up, so it's a bit of a gamble many fans think.

P.S. Best of luck on Saturday, will be cheering for you guys!

Don't think we saw his best at Hull, think he was playing injured most of the time. Has to be half decent to make it in the first team in the NRL, so would hope he could find a bit of form.

If his issues are sorted and he settles in, you will have a descent player. You don't play that many games in the NRL if you haven't got it. His issues plus the pressure for him to perform tipped the edge. At Castleford he wont have that sort of pressure as he had at Hull for him to perform, so as long as he beds in i think he will do ok.

What you are trying to say he wont get the abuse he got off hull"fans". He followed a long line of players who the hull fans got on the back of,dykes,craig hall,chris thorman,and of course coaches peter sharp,john kear and richard agar.
Seymour was probably never 100% fit for hull and guilty of trying to hard to appease the critics.Good luck to him if he signs for you.!

Seymour as a replacement for Chase, jesus wept!!

thats why he praised the hull people and supporters for supporting him through his hard times, never mind des another 2 weeks and your back in school, as for signing him he could be a good player for you guys, we never saw the best of him, good luck to who ever he joins

Signed for Warrington, I've heard.

Des is a sad and bitter Dobbin.

Hope he goes well at Cas if it comes off, Good luck to him

If it turns out to be true, good luck to him. I sincerely hope he's a great success at Castleford.Could see at times the guy had undoubted talent but it didn't work out at Hull.With what he and his wife have been dealt they deserve to come out of it the other side.I'll be watching his career from now on and hope he flourishes and does well wherever he goes.

Could be a replacement for Jamie Ellis...

Big risk taking on a player with 2 drink driving convictions to his name.

That was after he had attempted suicide you all got behind him,can you honestly say you got behind him till the crash ?
The HDM April 23,"Mrs seymour said her husband had been left upset by fans criticism during hulls 36-16 defeat by widnes the day before". Yes your right you really supported him didn't you !!

Professional player criticised by fans shocker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think you know it was a little more than that,on and off the pitch.

why is this disgusting troll tolerated?

FC fans cannot be held responsible for what happened. Yes, they criticised his performances on the pitch and rightly so. He then took it upon himself to drink and drive. (not for the first time). FC fans then stood by him (rightly or wrongly). As previous poster has said a massive gamble for Cas.

Let him have his fun, We're all going for a day out at Wembley, He's bound to be a tad jealous

He milked the Jason Crookes thread as much as he could now he's moved on to a thread about Seymour, but instead of answering the OP's question he wants to drag up Seymours much publicised recent past, just about sums him up, a complete and utter kn0b head.

Too many injures, far too slow for a halfback I seen more from miller in the few games for hull than I saw from Seymour in all his time at hull.

Ellis and Seymour would be the worst halfback partnership in SL next season.

If are going to troll ,you don`t have to stoop so low as to mention those two.

Sorry.

Too be fair to Seymour if you look at which position he was most effective at during his NRL career it was at six. Gentle said just before the start of this season that Buster isn't a natural scrum half. Would love to see the guy at least be able to put in some decent super league performance after what he's been through. I also believe it would be good for the sport in general to see someone back playing at the highest level again after experiencing mental health difficulties.

Indeed. Briers' replacement.

Seymour isn't very good. Signing him to replace Chase would be like Man Utd signing Danny Graham to replace Robin Van Persie.

Ouch haha
