Dont make it sound like thats a bad thing. Lol.

As a Hull fan, sick to the back teeth of the Club's SL showings, I thought he'd end up with someone like Leigh, or even Wakefield, given that Chester was really under the pump at that time. I said when Cas announced it that this is the end of "classy Cas" and he seems to have faith in the players that let him down at Hull, by signing them up at Cas! I don't think the fans will ever take to him, I could be wrong entirely, but I'd expect major disenchantment among their ranks, after 4 or 5 games and he'll be gone before the season end.
At Hull, he had a very expensively assembled good looking squad that proceeded to lose a record number of games on the bounce, it was painful and felt inevitable, he has no plan B, if power doesn't work , try power and if that fails, more power.
I hope I'm wrong, well sort of, but he'll be gone pretty soon I think when it starts to unravel.

I dunno, There seems to be this weird camaraderie between FC and Cas that I just cant fathom.

One things for sure, they wont stand for any of the turgid rugby that blighted his tenure at FC.

A bit of a shame with McClelland, we never got to see him after a decent, settled run in the team. He isnt going to displace any of the starters in ours next year so a move makes sense for all parties.

They bond over their love of Lee Crookes and hatred of Leeds

Good luck to the lad. I think he might get a better chance at Cas but to be honest I don’t think he will be ever a starting/first choice SL half back. He lacks pace and arrogance that good half backs require at the top level.
Someone compared him to Gale not making it at Leeds and then going on to prove us wrong. However his path in to the first team was blocked by Danny, Kevin and Robbie, three rather better than average half backs.
Anyway good luck probably best for all parties.

I still think there's a good player in Callum, he's had horrendous luck with injuries whilst with us.

Having said that I expect Jack Sinfield to be better and that's probably where our eggs are now.

The Noble school of coaching

He never looked fit enough - was his heart really in it?

Agree with this Jim and the club certainly see a more promising future by having young Jack Sinfield working his way towards the first team over the next couple of years rather than persevering with McLlelland

I really hope that McLlelland goes onto be a starting HB for the Tigers as he is a good kid

Once the announce signings of Sezer and Austin Mclelland's were probably numbered.He was offered a new deal but i suspect was derisory.
Pleased that scrums are back as this should bring back attacking options that has been missing for the last couple of seasons.This should suit Austin so will be interesting who the starting half's are.For mine i would start Sezer at 7 Austin at 6.

Interesting to read that Hurrell might have accepted an offer at Saints even lower than Leeds offered him.

Don’t know if there was a 1-year deal versus a 2-year deal, whether he fancied a change, or whether there’s a bit of nose cutting off to spite face when he was offered much less money here.

The only way he would accept less money would be the length of the contract.
