Quote Rogues Gallery="Rogues Gallery"Good luck to him, he will do a good job as a squad player. My only concern is that acl injury, but I can't think of many available players that can cover almost the entire back line with the exception of centre. He's only just turned 28 and averages about 1 try every three games plus he is a good goalkicker. It'll be up to him to put the hard work in, it's a low risk signing.
The majority of Cas fans seem sorry to see him go.

I take it Brian that the big news has yet to materialise?

| I'm perfectly happy with this signing, capable of covering multiple spots, on a low salary. The definition of a squad player.

I’ve just been reading that and it’s good to hear that they felt he was playing really well pre injury. Some weird comments about his rehab having been organised by Cas meaning some are saying he’s a snake for leaving. Cas didn’t want to pay an injured player, so took the risk he’d leave. I read an article were they openly admitted they’d like to keep him should he prove his fitness but if you want him enough, you take the gamble. We’ve done just that because he won’t be fully fit for another couple of months and who knows how he comes back.

| Cas made him an offer but it was a very low one.

Which would seem like they’ve tried to hedge their bets a little due to the circumstances. I can’t really blame them but the Cas fans shouldn’t be bashing the lad for not taking any offer at all. I doubt ours is offering him a fortune but I guess he feels like there is some unfinished here.

They were upset when we signed Zac. Remember being at Magic and old cas chap was near on crying about it. Just leave them too it think they have bigger concerns like staying up

To add to this, and i don't think i have seen anybody here mention it yet, hampshire is a homegrown player who came through our academy so shouldn't we get a percentage of his wage knocked off the cap also?
If we are already paying him a low wage (likely), then against the cap he should be very cheap. Seems like a no brainer signing to me if i am right.

This would only apply for marquee players. More broadly, clubs are given a £100k exemption for developing players but there are no specifics in the published rules around what clubs need to do to be granted this.
'Marquee Player – Each Super League and Championship Club is permitted to have two Marquee Players whose Salary Cap value is limited to £150,000 (or £75,000 if Club Trained);
Club Trained Dispensation – Each Super League club is given up to £100,000 of dispensation for producing Super League standard players.'

Ah, so it is likely a club like ours is already using the 100k, understood thanks.

| Let me guess he is the agent for Hampshire? He is a good backup up signing but that chap just likes the sound of his own voice and spew utter sh*te
