wait a minute....so he wanted to go and you then offered him another deal........sounds like a good idea

Right: we offered him a new, improved deal. Hull had made us an offer. We said, you can either sign for us the new contract or (knowing he had a year left on his deal) you can go to Hull now and we'll get the cash. So he decided he needed a new career path and said he wanted to go to Hull. So we sold him. Is that clear enough for you?

yep clear to me.........the same scenario has happened with chase and tricky dicky decided to cash in.........all wiill be revealed. did you think it would come into the public domain before the challenge cup semi ?? Please...........
Buderus going, Burrow moving in at hooker sinfield back to 13 and Chase and Mcguire 6 & 7..........wait and see

Like giving posters 'sig' material that make you look like a nob?

can you elaborate 'Sig' ? I cant understand your english

Ps: also have you tried spell checker ?

I dont want to get into a battle of brains with an unarmed man

do you watch any games ? why is mcshane twiddling his thumbs in the reserves and burrow spelling at hooker......

I've missed 4 games (max) this year my friend. In answer to your other question, as we have a recognised hooker in Buderus, it makes sense to have Burrow on the bench (or McGuire on the bench is Rob starts) as they are more all-round utility players. McShane is a specialised hooker and far less effective in other positions than Burrow. Should, as we are to believe, Buderus leaves us at the end of this season, McShane will directly replaces him and, ceteris paribus, Burrow (McGuire) will continue to operate as they are doing.

Is that OK for you?

What happened to the Clark yesterday - was he injured?

He is the most exciting prospect in the British game right now

So far as I understand it Matterson simply decided to go with Milner & Hudson ahead of him.

Its one of them conundrum's that you occasionally get with Matterson that I've not been able to work out. For the first half of the season Clark seemed to get better and better and Matterson seemed happy to put him in the side. I thought that the way he was improving he would be our 1st choice hooker by the end of this season. But as the season has gone on Matterson seems to have used him more sparingly.

It seems now that whenever we're playing a side where we anticipate having to do a lot of defence, he prefers to go with Milner but if its a game where we are hopeful of picking up the win and maybe attack will be more crucial to us he is prepared to go with Clark.

I guess you have to remember he's only just 18 and Matterson is maybe just being wise in not over-exposing him, but I felt a game like yesterdays was crying out for that attacking threat and speed from dummy half that Clark could have brought off the bench.

Clark wouldn't have had any success from dummy half yesterday...the Leeds markers were never square at the play the ball all game and they never got penalised

According to the stats Milner made 46 tackles yesterday...more than anybody else on the field so the coach was justified in his choice of hooker. Clark is a real talent though and i hope we can tie him up on a long deal

Rangi Chase was brilliant yesterday, a real threat at all times. It kept Leeds' defenders busy keeping the shackles on him. That really should have left a void for another Cas playmaker to step up into, and it was a relief as a Leeds fan that neither Orr nor McGoldrick seemed willing or able to do that.

I'd love to think Rangi Chase would be signing for Leeds, in truth however he's the new Lesley Vainikolo - a rumour that won't go away despite having no evidence that it has its basis in any sort of fact. I'm sure he'll be at Cas next year.

Additionally, I thought your pack were awesome today, particularly the props and especially Jackson who got through a mountain of work. I really felt for them at the end of the game. Some young lads in there as well who will get a lot out of the experience. If Cas hang onto most of those young lads, I don't think this will have been their last chance at a big final by any means.
