mitchel=cas

I quite like Mitchell, I thought he showed a few signs of development late in the season, he's put some size on too.

From the Cas site.

"In the last 24 hours the club has agreed terms with two exciting forwards who tie in with the new philosophy under head coach Ian Millward of signing multi-skilled players in the early to mid 20's age bracket.
One of these players Millward has met personally during his scouting trip to Australia - from which he returns over the weekend - and the other potential recruit is based in the UK"

Lee Mitchell??

Cas next year on loan, then back to wire

Never rated either of them to be honest, Mitchell hasn't kicked on since his wonder try agasinst Leeds, he makes far too many errors especially dropping the ball. I'd say championship level at best for both of them in the future, RL is a ruthless business and unfortunately i don't see any X factor with either of them.

me, too

wont be greatly missed these are 2 average squad players at best and up until last season blythe would have been in this catagory so u never know what may happen but cant see much with either

Spoke to Tyrone on twitter about it to keep my thread on VT updated last week and he said he is contracted next season.

I would class Blythe as an average SL squad player.... the other two are more like average championship players.

i remember him getting some good praise from morley and johns after a summer training camp a few years ago..... he never really kicked on from there...he obviously has the ability... its just his size.... he almost seems to be between positions..... he isnt big enough to do a proper job in the second row.... more bodysize needed.

neither have the x factor and will never be more than a decent low salary cap forwards in my opinion.

I wish we could have them both at Leigh, cannot see it though.

Its thought Lee Mitchell will be announced as a Cas signing on Thursday, The other name dotted about was Mike Cooper.

Not surprisingly, We are getting the 2nd best of the two.


Still, He is the best signing we have made this year. Worrying signs

Cant see us letting Mike Cooper go..... he was excellent back end of the season.

For me Mitchell is that type of player who for a split second when he hits any pass you half expect a bust but it rarely happens. Still at Cas we've players who you half expect to drop any pass so he would represent some improvement.
