Snitch is more of a second rower (a position we need to strengthen with faumunia and possibley clayton leaving next year) and boyle i would say is better prop than jackson already and is only going to get better.

Should be getting a new 2 year deal at Cas and much more game time IMO.

is martin offiah is agent? lol good player if you ask me thou good old fashion prop but some teams dont like that in a prop now they want plenty of pace n that worth a new deal thou i would give him a 12 month just to c how he goes getting in the squad or giving him a new contract and loaning him out to widnes or halifax or barrow etc it will benefit the club and we cwill know what type of player is

If we don't offer him something decent, he'll go and we'll lose a fantastic young player.

I think he's already shown he is SL quality in what little game time he has been given and he's only going to get better.

When does his driving ban run out as this will be a factor in his relocation. (Also as it was a drink/driving ban won't he have to retake his test which could add time on).

He'll be the next Andy Lych this guy.

He got banned for 12months at the end of last season so at a guess I’d say he gets his licence back in oct/nov.
I think to let a young talent like boyle go to only be replaced by someone who is no better and no doubt on more money is a disgrace.

Surely if wigan leeds and saints are all interested in boyle there must be somehting good that matterson and co are missing out on! Give him another 2 years and game time.

If its his unconfirmed off field antics thats the problem he is only a young lad and still growing up! he will mature into a good young man and an awsome player aswell!!

Im sure it wont take as much salary cap to keep boyle as i think jacko will be on more money, Boyle is alot younger with alot more potential, It ticks a box for the quota by adding to our home grown players aswell. Thats another 3 reasons why i just cant see the logic in getting in jacko for boyle.
does boyle even count on the salary cap yet being only 21?? (does that rule still exist)???

get him signed up wrighty, you know it makes sence...

Never understood why he doesn't get more game time. He's a great player with big potential given game time.

IMO same as Blanch, sometimes seems if you aren't one of Matterson's blue eyed boys you get nothing

well said that man

this is just one scinario of why i believe TM is the wrong man for Cas Tigers his ego is far too big and RW as ever has no balls!!!

said that for years. rivalries apart i honestly think your weakest links as a club are TM and RW. crap, both of them.

Today's League weekly states that a two year deal is on the table and we won't give him permission to speak to other teams whilst this offer is available. Matterson gives some relatively positive quotes stating he is abit upset at the amount of game time he is getting, but that it isn't really an issue.

What other scenrarios do you have in mind bearing in mind his top prority must be league points and he's delivering big time?

I don't want Boyle to leave, especially for him to be replaced with the likes of Jackson but sometimes you've got to accept a winning coach knows better than us punters just what he needs to win even more games. At a club like ours that inevitably means being tight on wages and without knowing what Ryan is asking for it's impossible to say whether he should be re-signed at the expense of other signings. Granted, some of us suspect the money going to a few of our top earners could have been spread out a bit more and that could be an area where TM has been guilty of misjudgement. But give the guy a break, he's hardly long in the tooth as far as the coaching business is concerned.

Couldn't have put it better myself. The grass isn't always greener.
