I think it's a shrewd move.
You are bringing in a player that is coming from a winning environment and replacing someone who will have eye on next season with the Cas contract already in the back pocket. That player will be effected, even if it's just 1% in his approach and mentality it's 1% less for us.

Brian Smith is shuffling the pack, leave it to him. Game on next weekend....

I cannot accept that McShane shirked his duties for us. I would remind those that currently the one who bounced off for Castleford's first try is contracted to us for next season to play hooker.
I have read that the signings were agreed by BS but I doubt he would have a great deal of knowledge about the players we are signing because most have not played much for their own clubs.
We have now reached the point of no return and must go with what we have. I hope that the search to save money does not lead to our relegation but that is the risk Carter has taken.

Perhaps he had a word with his brother

Not sure we are saving money, what makes you think we are. With regards to Mc shane having had a to have a look at him maybe Brian Smith thought na.

Don't give a monkeys who the cast offs are from as long as they put the effort in lets face it we have had a lot of our own players not putting effort in for how many games this season.
