Rumour on the Cas board he is signing for them.

Oh well Cas gain and Wakey loss if he goes, maybe Powell can get the best out of him.

It will be a shame if he goes, but I'm almost resigned to that given recent events.
Starting back row of Kirmond, Tuson and Washbrook looks good for next year.
Mariano is a good option for us but it depends what he wants.

He looked good yesterday, though hard to decide as he played centre but I'd like to see him have a good one against Hull and stake a claim to the starting spot next year.

I like Frankie hes a good player and a nice guy but Im not too bothered if he decides to move on.

I thought he showed up well yesterday - clearly his spell at Fev has done him the world of good; a stroke of genius by Mr Agar!

To be honest who could blame him.

Uh oh....

Well said Bren.
Maybe it was the kick up the booty he needed as he definitely seems more up for it over the last couple of games than he did before his spell at Post Office Road.

Why, we have made that boy and he has been treated very well IMO.

It won't matter how subtle you are NGBC will never ever get what has happened - he simply isn't bright enough or an utter troll - you decide.

I was thinking the same thing - what terrible wrong has Frankie suffered at the hands of WTW?

As far as I can see, he's been man-managed in a way that his boss deemed appropriate and it appears to have done the trick; if he decides to up-sticks off the back of it, that says more about him than it does about us.

On a broader point - I wonder if the RFL's clear intention to ram home a 12 team SL will have any impact on certain club's ability to make signings beyond next season? If I were a player, I'd expect my representative to take that into account when advising me.

I think he has been overlooked when he has been the better option, I don't buy the poor attitude reason, and I haven't seen anything more from him since he returned that I didn't see before he was omitted from the squad. If he goes then Agar consistently selecting inferior players ahead of him will have contributed. If he feels more valued at another club then fair do's.

Well that's not an opinion I share - Mariano is a great athlete and a good player but he was also prone to being a show pony. Who are these poorer options as IMHO I'm struggling.

He wasn't overlooked he was deliberately ignored and rightly so for me and I was saying it before Agar bit the bullet. He needed dropping and he needed a lesson. If that still irks him Cas are welcome to him as they are the experts with petulant players.

An excellent point worthy of a discussion on its own. Trinity suffered in the 2011 season due to the sword of Damocles having over them but this time it could be any two of four who could make way. I guess/hope it will depend on league position at the end of the license period so the teams have their destiny in their own hands. One thing to note Tuson signed up until 2016 I think.

Mellars, Lynn and Molloy.
