Another stupid RFL regulation concerning young players. He does not have to take up any Castleford offer if forthcoming though. So in effect it is a regulation that can not be enforced. Figure that ?

I believe it's because they offered him a contract, his age means they get the right to talk to him first regarding 2016.

Just been considering the (imho) great signings by the club. We've signed a quality left in GW from Fev and likewise a left wing in CJ. With our existing e hot left backs securing both contracts and places in the Championship dream team, anyone else intrigued? NOT a negative post for the pit bull anti hate fellas, just curious to other peoples opinions.

Looked up Curtis and a lot of Bears fans are sorry to see him go. Quite a few think that he is NRL quality but won't get his chance over there.

The signing I'm really looking forward to is Curtis Johnson based off the youtube video the guy is a absolute Beast! Reading comments from the Bears fans they expect him to go all the way & play NRL so he is highly regarded by them & looking at the doping scandal in which he tested negative had this saga not gone on then maybe he'd already be playing in the NRL. The Ben Reynolds signing seems a good one providing cover in the HB/FB positions & Daryl Powell must rate him to put the first refusal contract clause in 2016. Richard Beaumount looks a big imposing front rower & at 26 he's in his prime years & providing his injury troubles are behind him the gamble could pay off. I'd be made up if we've signed Fui Fui Moimoi the guy's a Parramatta legend & would rip it up in our league. With the position he plays at 35 years old & playing full time at championship level his age doesn't concern me & remember Oli Wilkes will be turning 35 & he's not lost it yet. We're in for a big season again no doubt I cant wait for it bring on the bulls.

Richie Beumount has hardly played for 3 seasons couldnt understand why saints signed him but good luck to him hope it works out for him
