Good luck to Joe. Think the club have done the right thing but I'm not happy with RW's statement by any stretch of the imagination.

In what way?

What bits that?.Joe going to a bigger club with a lot more ambition?.

Best of luck to Joe, not particularly happy about it but he hasn't been the best of performers since the injury and off field issues...It's almost as if he's been playing scared. Hopefully a decent replacement will be on their way to the Jungle shortly.

best thing that could have happened another pi$$ head gone

Suprised how many reckon this is the best thing. Personally, I'm gutted. Another quality, young player bites the dust. Cue a thirty-something year old Aussie replacement.

Absolutely no qualms about the decision to let him go - probably the best thing for him as a player and for us as a club.

Nice to see us offloading a few big earners too, and getting significant recompense for them. Hopefully this all aids the stadium build and franchise application

As for a 30-odd year old Aussie replacement, how many of those have we brought in recently?

Maybe he got away with it at Cas which he wont at Hull or maybe he just needed a change.

Fair play but the point I'm getting at is I can't see us replacing young local talent with similar. Hope I'm wrong. That's not an indictment on the academy either, I know it's great but these kids take a while to develop. Shenny and Joe epitomise what Cas is about for me - they were the heart of the club. Just a bit gutted.

Think it's a really good signing for us and a good move for you too. He'd have no doubt left at the end of next season for nothing, this way he can generate you a few bob for your new ground and as he didn't have the greatest season last season I assume won't be too big a miss. Hopefully at Hull we can sort his head out and start getting to play to full potential e.g. Watts.

Lets hope so.

A great signing for us and I'll echo what's been said, he maybe has come to a point where a change is just what he needs, many players are like that like it or not.
I think the deal will benefit all parties and for what it's worth, I hope you go out and get a crackin' replacement, I want my 'second' club to do well!

Oh well, another bit of the stadium paid for.
Couldn't we have got Willie Manu back as part of the deal or something? I just hope his replacement can tackle.

Hope its as good a move for us as it is for you, hopefully in Cas' case it was done with the new stadium in mind and funding for the future. £150k is not to be sniffed at in the current climate and what fees are paid in the game nowadays. We may have paid a little over the odds but Hull's board have been sat on money for years so its about time they got their hand in their pockets.

Already looking forward to visiting the new ground.
