Richard Owen signed for Wakefield until the end of the season. He's not on loan.

Gibson's a centre and Owen is Wakefield player until the end of the season. Ben Crooks is a centre as Diogenes says.

Z.N.A always in my heart.:13627.jpg



Also had the heads up that Andy Ellis from Fev is in advanced talks with us. I can see the logic in this as I don't think Milner has shown enough this year. I think Clarky being so good has taken the emphasis away from Milner's frailties. He was poor to say the least on Thursday. Ellis is very well thought of at Fev and I'm sure he could make the step up with Powell's guidance.

Gibson can play either.
We definitely don't need any more centres.

What is actually happening with Owen - there was no official "he is no longer a Cas player" and Powell seemed to allude that he may come back

Think this is a load of rubbish personally, as I also believe the Ellis rumours too.

Scott Moore is the hooker coming in. Solomona is Owen's replacement, who will be staying at Wakefield next season.

Think we should be looking at a transfer fee of 100k at least as he has another year after this on his contract.

Would seem strange if you did sign him as our Owner said he had a meeting this week or next to sort another contract out but things do happen.

I am pretty certain we wouldnt let him go without a fee though.

Poskitt or Feisal stirring?

I was speaking to a friend of mine yesterday who said he had been talking to Ron Hill and Motu Tony yesterday. Apparently Huby is definitely going and Crooks is definitely coming in

Ben Crooks is great going forward but his defence is very poor. He got away with it last season because of his try scoring.Yes is confidence is low and as been since wembley when gentle played him half fit.I would like to see him stay but he would have to improve his defence to get regular spot

Has his defence deteriorated since radford took over then ?

If you live in a country where you can get arrested for fishing without a licence, yet you can't get arrested for entering that country illegally, then you know that the country you live in is run by idiots! "The last time Cas got a penalty against Wigan, Gail from Corrie was still on her first husband" - Mick Morgan:

Think the team has, none the the FC fans I know want Radford.

Daryl spent most of the morning yesterday at Fev. Maybe the Andy Ellis rumour isn't a million miles off the mark. I think we desperately need to replace Milner. He was well out of his depth again last night. His defence is shaky to say the least and offers nothing whatsoever in attack. We can't afford to have a replacement hooker that is not up to it if we really want to push on for top 6 consistently. I think it is the most influential position on the pitch. We have been lucky this year having the best hooker in the league and a good interchange in Ellis when he needs a rest but next year we won't have the luxury of either if rumours are to be believed. I feel Scott Moore will do a good job feeding a strong pack.

Does anyone else have an opinion on this?
