According to a reliable source we wont be seeing wayne or jamie in a wakefield shirt for rest of season as he has signed a loan deal with the Tigers!! They are short at half back and would get our wage bill down

If correct which it sounds like it is seems to be the second part of the kear clear out

He's coming to us again ? After the way he was treated last time it is a surprise.

Was thinking the same, although think that was more Steadman and not actually Cas.

We are short at Half Back, especially with Sherwin's Injury that could be career threatening. Good Move on both accounts

Yes it was Steadman but I might have thought it would have soured his view of us.

Career threatening ? I'd not heard that.

if it is true then i would be a little bit sad. thanks for all you have done for us jamie.

Heard this one from quite a few people, good luck to him if he does go on loan.

Rooney probably realises his contract won't be renewed. Hence, last chance saloon, put in some performances and he may get a short term deal at Cas

Hasnt really contributed over the last 12 months, combination of injury and home issues - stuff beyond his control

On a decent wage and will help to reduce outgoings of the club - which given the crowds has to be a good thing

Hope that if its right it goes well - is a nice guy and wish him well

Steadman although i liked and respected him as a player has alot to answer for. He has caused damage in many ways that set us back years.

Although he has been promising since his return i think this is a good deal for both clubs.

I heard about two weeks ago from the Dad of a Cas academy player that Cas were very concerned that Sherwin would not play again this season and as a result they were trying to get Quins to loan Gayle ( I think this is the lad that played at Stanley Rangers, and was signed by Leeds at Academy level, his path to the first team was blocked and he was loaned out to Donny, he played well for Donny and Quins took a punt ). I heard that the lad either : wanted to prove himself at Quins : Macdermott did not want him loaned out :

Anyway if Cas were unable to sign Gayle and Sherwin has indeed being ruled out with a long term injury then if Rooney could get himself a contract from Cas to run to end of 2010 they he has done very well for himself. Big boots to fill replacing fans fave Sherwin.

And of course we are flush with stand-offs.

Good luck to him, he always seemed like a nice bloke, but we need someone in that position. I suspect we'll play some kind of Brough and Obst partnership at 6 and 7, which resolves the hooker rotation.

Bloody hope so!
