one rolls the ball through a tunnel between the forwards , the other doesn't

From what ive been told Hampshire is 100% going on loan to Cas next season. Wigan are trying to negotiate Carney coming on loan for the year similar to the Hughes/Patrick deal. I just hope Hampshire comes back.

I'd love to think that if Hampshire is to go then we could pull that off but I'd be surprised.

Patrick for Hughes was two guys both at a similar level and with a similar level of experience whereas Carney for Hampshire would be a proven superleague perferformer for an inexperienced kid who may not get in their side anyway.

The whole Massey incident may help but I'd imagine Cas will want and could get a fee for him. I'd guess they'll also want him out of the club permenently.

Hope your right though.

Carney wont play for Cas again and really want Hampshire long term. I think the feeling is that this way they can have a real good look at what Hampshire can offer before trying to get him on a free ( i think hes ooc next year) Carney is a means to an end to achieve this and also gives Wigan a chance to look at Carney and see how he fits in, whether hes a disruption or not again with a view to a permenent deal. Leeds, Wire, Saints and Hudds are all sniffing round Rocky so Cas may see this as a way to get him playing in a good side under a very good coach and show him what they can offer

What position do they have in mind for him?

I'm led to believe in the halves sharing the role with Gale/Roberts . Apparently the biggest gripe of him and his father is been played out of position at Wigan. This formed part of any negotiations. Now I don't know his dad but I believe there are people on here that do who may know better than me about this. I'm just regurgitating what I've been told from someone close to Cas who is usually pretty accurate
