It wouldnt surprise me if Watts gets an offer from Australia and moves on anyway end of season.
Another big cheque for Cas

Official site says contract news .

3 year extension for Masi.

I'd say he was nothing like Griffin tbh. He's at salford
He's now a 2nd row really after starting as a centre. Built like a tank.
I'd say he's like mini...bounces in and out of contact needs 3 men to put him down.
Check out his season stats from last year and tally them up with Mini's
More tackle busts..more offloads..more assists..tons less pens...tons and tons less missed tackles
So far this year he's the league's best offloader...i always love an effective offloader

Jones is a good player and still lots of improvement in him at his age. I hope it's true but I'd be surprised if salford let another player go at this stage of the season

be happy if true

Maybe not his season but we might have signed him now to join us from next year. Potentially signing him early before anybody else comes and snaps him up.
Announcing it today might be a blow to the Salford team and fans before we play them on Friday.

Well they are both called Josh, but I think that is about it

Crikey!! Watts old man has just rang RH. He said his son didn't want to leave but Powell will improve him as a player but he still respects Radford. He's not happy about the off-field issues that have been put on social media.

Just to add he's never been disciplined by the club.

What a huge call this has been by the club. Gaz Ellis? Radford? Pearson? Whoever is behind it, fair play, they've got a big set of cajones.

Selling one of the best props in the country to a genuine top 4 rival... On the face of it, it seems ludicrous. Especially when you factor in the comments from his Dad about him never being disciplined by the club. Something's kicked off and I'm sick of reading rumours. I just wish the club would come out and say something, but understand the reasons they won't do that. I'm gutted as think he's a fantastic talent and brought a different dynamic to our forward play.

The club have tried to sugarcoat it with the announcement of Masi and Carlos (fantastic news on both accounts), but I still find myself thinking we've made a huge error. Obviously only time will tell but we are undoubtedly significantly weaker after today.

There are still times when a club (or any employer) can be very unhappy with an employees actions but without any grounds to discipline them. For example if a player had an affair with another players wife, strictly speaking that wouldent be any of the clubs business, but it might have the entire dressing room in uproar.

NOT suggesting that is the situation here, just giving an example of where ‘never disciplined’ wouldent be the full story.

and we have a happy coach and happy players.

Good luck to him, done fantastically for the club, beyond what many people thought.

You totally missed the point, nothing to do with who we sold/who replaced them or who we didn't sign. It was about a poster stating I never get anything right even though I like everyone else was giving an opinion about Watts, they only responded to have a pop/out themselves as an idiot and nothing else. Typical of the type really.

No you haven't, he's not called Alibi Albi without reason. one law for one and another law for the rest.

At the end of the day, a great player but an absolute moron.

This is a really strong statement by the club, no player no matter how good you are is bigger than the team. It’s an incredibly important message for our youngsters and current crop of players. Anybody within our squad who doubts the clubs resolve professionalism above all else is now in no doubt.

For what it’s worth, while he’ll be missed as he is a good player I don’t think he is the kingpin and we have certainly won plenty of games without him. We have a deep squad will high quality professional and influential veterans and great youngesters and I think Hull will still be up there contending for the grand final at the end of the season.

Interesting. I've not heard that nickname before. Is this from watts?

What's that saying? Two wronguns don't make a rightun?

Probably his dad, who has a history of shouting his mouth off.

So we don't have a happy coach or players then?

Based on what?

Unity and Standards are the priority.

Ha ha, only on a Hull board could you have the mighty Leeds being referenced on a topic about an errant F.C player going to Castleford. Your selective memory may be happy to ignore the fact that we had our own doylum from Castleford that was hounded by the RFL. Maybe Hardaker deserved his lengthy ban for comments allegedly aimed at an official, but when they tried stitching him up a few months later by going to a lip reading specialist to implicate him,and failing, you knew there was more than a little spite being aimed in his direction. I don’t think Watts is a marked man because he plays for Hull, he’s a marked man because he head butts players in full view of officials and the TV cameras. For what it’s worth, I was gutted when Leeds released Hardaker to one of our biggest rivals, but the people at the top ultimately made the right decision. We finished up as Champions, trousered £150,000, and watched our ex player continue on a downward spiral to oblivion. I’m not saying you’re gonna sweep the board trophy-wise, but the short term pain will I’m sure be for the long term benefit of the club. As for Watts, you can take the boy out of Cas......

Anyone know how much a large undisclosed fee is in RL circles?

No idea if it is correct, probably not, but I got told it was ~£150,000.
