We will never know if he is good enough or not. Can't help thinking Gentle didn't give him much of a chance. Now that he's gone let's hope someone better is coming in.

Too fat, simple as. Can get away with it in the division below but it just made him too slow off the mark and cumbersome at the higher level, which meant we never got to see his strengths. A shame because our kicking game is still awful and he has a decent kicking game in his locker. A real wasted opportunity for him.

jamie gone to castleford,we have got ryan mcgoldrick in swap...till the end of season...will be at training this morning,

not a good signing,!!

leigh are gutted...

Link? or source?

Good luck to the lad and I hope he cements a regular place in the Cas team.

Making room, only plausible explanation.

His days were obviously numbered when he kicked that 40-20 on the telly earlier this year. Can't be having any of that show pony stuff at the KC, I reckon..........

wrong, his days were numbered when gentle realsied he wasnt good at anything else

I never saw Jamie play for you guys, but in the championship he was a very good player.
Now I know it's the championship, but some players do make the 'step up' quite easily, Chris Hill (ex Leigh) is doing well at Wire. But Chris had 6 seasons in the nl1/champ, and a season in SL when he was only 19/20. But as for Jamie, his problem (apart from weight !!) for a half back, is that he went to SL too early. After spending years in Saints academy, made only two 1st team apperances, Jamie has only really had one full season of 'open age' rugby. Thought Hull/SL was a too bigger step up, and also did you need another 6 or no. 7 ??
Maybe a 'lesser' top flight club, coupled with a SERIOUS weighchers diet would have been better for him. Still only young though, he has got the talent....honest !!

I sincerely hope McGoldrick isn't coming. Even if he played for free, I wouldn't be interested

Your not the coach though and if Gentle thinks he can do a job then we'll have to trust him

I think we're quite capable of giving needless penalties away, without bringing a past-master into the squad

I agree it's a strange one.

Perhaps Russell has been recalled and with moa and tickle missing for friday Gentle would need play whiting and westerman in in the forwards rather than in the halves?

Ellis players on sunday for cas.
You have signed ryan mcgoldrick.

I don't care. I'd rather he played anyone else there. There is no way to put a positive spin on this signing. None at all.

I'm not trying to put a positive spin on anything I as suprised as anyone.

instead of moaning about signing him i trying to look at the reasons why..

has it actually been announced anywhere?

no all thats been announced is that he's left cas and joining another super league club.

cas fans reckon its us though

they also think they're getting a new ground.....

Very underwhelmed if true. I would rather of kept Ellis. All i can think is McGoldrick is cover for fullback.

At least we own the one we are in.

Yep

Nice answer James but please dont even go there - I have always loved coming to Weldon Road but its had its day mate. Toilets etc etc etc .
Anything else ??

Do you still have to wee outside......class ?
