Can't say I know how good he actually is.

But then I guess that all I need to know

Newton on his way - meh.

I didn't see him as the long term solution for Bradford, he's always been pretty solid but has never really lived up to the hype that follows him around. A good quality hooker with explosive attributes is what we need, someone of Cunningham ilk.

Disappointed that he's going, they are going to be big boots to fill. I suppose it would have been a risk to offer him a 2 yr deal though.

That's them just trying to get rid of him coz he's crap.

Even with Hudson out injured, he still struggled to get a starting role. Cas would rather move Chase or Stu Jones there.

Another perfect signing then!

I'd be incredibly p*ssed off if we signed Kirk Netherton!

Says on the Cas site he can play a bit in the back row as well.

That pretty much nails the signing on if he can play 2 positions badly then.

Nailed on, presumably

As it concerns Cas I assume so.

Hood flatly denied the Wing story.

TBH if you go back and read the quote again he says he new nothing about Newton going to Wakefield not that he was going at all.

If Netherton arrives it realy does illustrate how far we have fallen as a club.

I'd be amazed if we signed a current origin or test player, it's simply not our style, then again not many come over here in their prime to anyone. If it's a test level player then we'd be more likely to get a kiwi.

Incidentally once Solomona goes it'll be the first time we've not had a Kiwi in the team since 1986 IIRC.

Now Netherton could be the replacement for Newton, unless Wakey have anyone to offload. Then again Rinaldi fits the bill. He's an average sort of player who's not interested any of the top teams. Sounds perfect

We can't seriously be considering going into 2010 with Julien Rinaldi and Wayne Godwin as our hookers.

That would further compound the misery if Burgess was to leave in 2010 aswell.

No it's Godwin and Netherton. A partnership to strike fear in to all of the Pennine League.
