Nobby probably knows for sure. My guess is Koukash already asked the question but got told sorry he's sold.

Really like Cas and their fans but it seems everyone who leaves their club does so against their will. We were told that Chase loved the quiet Cas Vegas lifestyle and he would never leave he loved the club that much.

Now same with Clark. We've signed him but only against his will. And he only put a transfer request in to *prevent* other clubs from buying him. Do you realise how ridiculous that sounds?

Anyway hope whichever way around it is that we have signed him.

Id love to sign him but until something official has been announced i'm not going to get my hopes up. I feel this is Monaghans last year, especially after all the recent reports about his welfare, but id feel Micky Higham may have another good year left in him and Dwyer had recently signed a new contract already leaving us with two hookers next year. Could mean either we rotate the three or one of Clarke or Dwyer spends a lot of time on loan/dual reg next year.

I'm with you on the see it when I believe it brigade, but, my hopes are already up.

Given the current form of Clark and Monaghan's apparent situation with Old Father Time/injuries you'd have to think that if true, next year it would be Clark/Higham on the team sheet and Dwyer having the loan/DR spot with a view to pushing on the year after?

In Clark's case didn't he play for Cas Lock Lane as a junior which means he probably is a Cas lad, was a Cas fan and his family are all Cas fans.

Now Cas have been also rans for ages but they are suddenly good.

So maybe he is less enthusiastic about joining a team that is on the slide.

/\ Exactly.

At the time of leaving/ the deal was apparently been done, It was either him or Chase and we were trying to keep Chase.

If he goes. He'll go with our best wishes, But we really hope he stays.

Your information differs to mine. I was told that to raise the necessary money and reorganise the Board, " Chase would be first out of the door to be shortly followed by Clark". So I think this deal was done a long, long time ago. In fact I think Clark was a Warrington player (as on our books) before the season started.

Rumours rife that Clarks deal to Warrington is off.

we've only just got to a point where the rumours were rife that we'd signed him, i can't see that a rumour that its off would be at 'rife' level already. Nor 'running rampant'. They may be 'circulating' though, granted.

Maybe we had to cancel the rumour to fuel the Ben Hannant rumour.

I assume Salford have offered him a house with a pool, a car, and an unlimited tattoo budget to sign for them?

Quite right, we would need at least 6 posts to get up to 'strong rumour' before we even think about rife. But then this was posted by someone calling himself after a packet of breakfast cereal.

Dwyer recently signed up to a new contract and likely Mickey Higham will still be around next season - could be something in this rumour about the rumour?

I won't believe the deal is off until Clark hands in a transfer request making it clear that he doesn't want to go to another team.

heeee's grrrrrrrreat
