Maybe

Well, it's difficult to believe isn't it really or at least I feel it's a bit far fetched to me, but you never know, as I say he's usually spot on. He's not really my mate, it's difficult to be mates as he plays for Cas, used to play for us.. maybe that gives it away

We would Westy know any more than we would?

Don't know, why would he?

Maybe I should start going in again

I also believe that Cas are taking a player from us for next season that we have been looking to offload, not 100% sure who it is but I can take a guess

It was a guess. But maybe he's heard talk between player agents that he might have been told, or told by a player that knows him, loads of ways. It's a fairly small circle isn't it, the RL community especially players. I just went on the fact it was someone that plays for Cas and had for us and Westy is often seen about.

You know this will be on that SARL site in the next few days as a possible rumour.

I just don’t see Bateman or Hastings as realistic, but you could have said that about our recent acquisitions for next year too.

I think Bateman will have some considerable competition from the likes of Leigh, Hull and maybe Warrington all who should also have a bit of cash to spend too.

Hastings I’d be very surprised to see back in SL given the lack of depth in the halves in the NRL.

It’s an incredible season so far and hopefully it continues as I’m loving it.

However I agree I think with backs like Jowitt, Johnstone, Walmsley, Pratt (plus hopefully Olpherts) next season a top centre (to replace Thorniley) and a quality stand off are required for the super league on long term deals. Utilise a couple of quota spots for those positions if necessary.

Westy certainly played for us,but Mcshane?Went onto the pitch but never played for us!

Not interested in sniping and name calling, final warning for all concerned.

Not sure what I said wrong,but if that applies to everybody,including yourself Wildthing,then fair enough.

If you read Wildthing's post, it states "For all concerned."

It must include you then BG.

You talk about players falling out like it’s a bad thing. Sometimes it is but mostly not. Every team needs an abrasive character, it can’t be all love and peace. It’s not the thugish game it was and I’m ok with that to a degree. I love the stories of Turner beating his teammates up for being lazy, ok in the sixties, like being at school really.

But the game still needs some biff to work. I pay to see players who can play better than I ever could. But I also pay to see players who are tougher, more ruthless and more ambitious than the average man. With that inevitably comes incidents. Also you wouldn’t believe what gets covered up in this game, or maybe you would. I heard one the other day that is 100% true and it made me blush it was so out of character, but no one will ever hear about it, to much on the line for all concerned.
