Cas have signed 2 players, one is aussie and one is english...could the aussie be sam?

Nope, they've already stated both are forwards in their early-mid twenties.

Ok thanks

Obst has officially left Hull.

Hull Daily Mail now speculating that Bradford are in for him.

Be a surprise if so, they've more halfbacks & hookers than we have!

Twttier latest from the hull daily mail guy. Maybe Obst won't be coming after all....

My info is Obst agreed to go to a club weeks ago (Wakefield I think) but was messed about and it dragged on, annoying Hull and Obst

That makes it sound like the "fault" of the 3rd party club.

Good for us they needed shut and to be honest we don't need him so the only way he should have come is strictly on our terms. They expected us just to roll over and take him away from them by the sounds of it. Well done ag and je

Would have preferred to use the last overseas place on Tongia myself. If not him a big raw-boned prop. He was a good player for us but we have other priorities and i Hope he goes elsewhere.

My sentiments exactly. I am sure that there are other contracted players that Agar would prefer to replace with others, but to me this kind of forcing someone out is a dangerous precedent to set. Especially if it is someone with some potential in a position we have very little cover for.

How can Agar not be overly impressed with him he gave us great spark towards the end of the season. He actually made me enjoy a few games towards the end of season. Tongia deserves a chance its unfair if true a half hearted claim he wasnt impressed with him. We need a announcement from the club I for one will be dissapointed after all this time and in the end we don't keep him.

Said after the Bradford game I'd be surprised if he signed. No sign of that yet, nor is there a queue of other clubs going public about wanting to sign him. Says it all for me. He'll be behind Sam on the reserve options list.

TBH id agree with this as much as he gave us abit of a spark i think he could end up costing us more points in defence than his attacking play. and next season we need to be more solid in defence if that means Paul Sykes or Lee Smith at FB then fine by me.

Whats wrong with Ben Cockayne at FB ?
