See that Ryan has gone to Salford, (Sporting Life) Cas haven't even put it on the main site.

Why would we announce that a free agent had signed for a club?

All the best to Ryan.

No need for Cas to put it on website, Ryan's no longer a Cas player, I don't blame the club for not announcing it, that's up to his new club Salford, good luck to the lad (unless he's playing against us at any point), I would have kept Ryan, but he obviously thinks he's worth more than the club does.

Il get slated for this but i personally think it is the right decision to let Ryan go, its obvious he was asking for more that the club thought he was worth.

I didnt think he was impressive enough last season and the season before to warrant a wage rise and applaud the club for not letting the player hold the stick in the contract negotiations, i hope this continues from now on!

oh dear!

someone who doesn't know the facts!!

He didn't get enough game time to prove his worth, and that is down to the coach!

But if he wasnt playing well in the game time he got we shouldnt keep playing him to pick up his form, he should of been dropped like he was, there is no place for sentiments when your in a professional sport.....

You know this for sure do you? the only thing which seemed obvious was that Matteson did not rate him that much hence him signing for Salford, who obviously rate him more highly and presumably because of that will have given him an increase in salary which go hand in hand.

If what i was told was true it was more down to the fact that boyle wanted more first team games than he was getting here (being behind sargent, huby etc) which he will get at salford, hence why he didnt sign for any of the bigger teams that came snifiing. I wish him luck and hope one day he returns to play in the black and amber.

I think its quite obvious, because if the club offered him what he thought he was worth, he would have accepted it surely??

Surely he is worth more than Clayton.

Its nothing at all to do with money, its to do with the fact that TM told Boyle he wouldn’t be playing much first team rugby next year, so he felt he had to move for the benefit of his career.

As Pyeman alluded to I think it was more a case that McRae will have offered him a regular spot in the side whereas TM could or would not do that if he thought that he was well down the pecking order and for that reason mainly he has probably chosen Salford first.
