From what my flat capper colleague says Cas were in for England but he earns more with his full-time job + Fev contract than Cas could offer him....

and we're really not in a position to overpay for someone who's untested at SL level. Fev don't have to sell so we'd be looking at paying a transfer fee then possible an above average wage for someone who's a gamble.
General point still stands that we're better off with cash and the choice of buying player(s) from where we want rather than being restricted to 1 clubs swaps.

This. Very good going forward but poor defensively. Got potential to improve though. Sad to see him go.

Can't see a top 4 club going for him. Hudds maybe, or wire might be interested doing a swap for Blythe. Think he will go to Salford though

Is young Beefy actually any good? If we're buying from Fev we want the Zak Hardaker not the Kyle Briggs. For every Alex Walmsley type prop from the National Leagues there's bound to be a few duds.

Not the fogiest, but I'd prefer Francis Cummins get his choice of players rather than his choice from 1 club. It's the same as bringing a player from the academy in that until they play you can't be certain. Briggs, Shad Royston and to some extent Phil Joseph haven't worked for us recently so it's about time we picked a gem

Since when has Leeds been in Cumbria.

England's off too Warrington.

I wasn't clear on that point I meant he's a Leeds lad as in Leeds Rhinos fan.

You get him told Bulls Boy

If he's got half his dad's looks & brains you will be on to a winner.

Iirc didn't elima mention in an interview after he signed for Catalans that his kids were at school age and he wanted then to go through French school system or am I mixing him up with someone else? If correct that would rule him out as an option.

Think you are mixing him up with Craig Kopzcak

We could do with a Beefy England in the pack now alright.
