I Hope this is True, because we need someone and especially a Half back who can lead us arounf the park.
I have heard from an ex player that a new signing will be announced this week. I've know idea who, just something the guys been told of someone connected with the club.

It does sound like i heard of mates, aunties, cousin etc....... but I am only posting what ive been told.

I would be supprised if that happens ?

I Also heard that Ben Hornby is also considering a new deal by St george/Illawara. At the moment British clubs will struggle to sign quality Aussies as the exchange rate is the wrong way round for them to make money and that Offshore bank accounts have been stopped.

no wonder Sherwin has gone for the Euro

I heard from Richard Wright last week (well, via the club website) that Kyle Wood's 1-month loan isn't seen a a permanent replacement for Sherwin and we hope to sign someone on a longer term basis over the next few weeks. Maybe your ex-player read the same thing?

Its just been on Ridings FM that Castleford are currently searching for Sherwins replacement and hope to get the right man soon. It did go on to say that while Kyle Wood had a decent debut, he wasn't here for long term

No more free rides for Aussies i believe

Orr is signed up, not heard about hornby, would be fantastic to have 3 halfbacks.

Do we really want Danny Orr back?

I feel like we're starting to go backwards signing all our old players like Jacko etc. Wonder if we'll re-sign Boyle one day?

Totally agree about Orr. If he can do a job at hooker for us we'll be laughing. Hudson clearly can't manage the whole game and we're poorer when he's off the field.

I'm not so keen on the idea of Orr coming back. In my opinion his best days are behind him in, and appart from Cas I couldn't really see him getting a position at any other superleague club. I think that signing Orr would be for old time sentimental reasons, rather than to progress the team forward.

If we do then it should not be for anything more than a 1 year stop gap, whilst such as Brierly comes of age.

I agree. His best days are behind him.

Over the past year he has shown some good touches, but thats it. We need a younger, enthusiastic, talented player who has some SL (or NRL) experience.

I agree we need some back up and a more in depth squad and maybe Danny would be good for that. But we need someone more long term

But at what price ? minst brad made a return (wish we had a 25yr old davis)
