Seconded. Although a willing runner he is no prop, and if that’s what Agar has planned for him next season it would’ve been better had he left for a team who will develop his game.

Like I said before I’d like to see him have a stint at loose, especially if Washbrook is leaving, before a 13 is brought in from outside the club. Opportunities in the back row will be scarce next season. He’ll be 22 next year and he needs to be playing regular games at SL level.

Agree, ideal place for him imo, especially in the make up of our side.

Some suggestion on Twitter that Lee Smith's agent has approached Cas without his permission, hence the rumours; bloody parasites.

This could get interesting!

Sir Richard Agar knows what hes talking about, aye?

Heard yesterday that there's 4 good signings lined up ...the bad news was that we haven't got the money

Hence the ST deals coming out so early? Any idea of what signings they are?

Lee has resigned for us

Do you know how long for?

Lee Smith good player great kicker can cover lots of positions. Get him signed up!

We need some news on new signings,to boost ticket sales.

Unfortunately not

I imagine the ST's were brought out early to pay off HMRC/Macron.

our friend nosey parker and rugby leaguer say ben is going to hull kr as we need to get wage bill down from 1.3 to 1,1 mill and some squad players to go too, it also says lee smith did a u turn and decided to sign a extended contract for us much to Daryl Powell's despair

Apparently his agent approached Castleford without his permission but yes has resigned with us. Lets just hope we don't have a paper thin squad as when injuries come around we will suffer.
If we got rid of Vince Mellars as some people according say that would be a huge chunk of dosh saved. If Ali does retire then I guess we'll save money too. Apart from a couple of signings (Addy etc) I doubt there will be much change in the squad.
