Good signing for Cas, so is that Miller/Austin in the halves or Widdop/Austin.

He's a good player but was gash against us the other week

That’s a very good signing for Cas. He’s a top quality player and match winner on his day.

I’m still of the opinion though it’s quality in the pack they needed to recruit.

I don’t though bank on Leeds doing us any favours in the last game of the season and fancy Cas to take that game now with a fired up Austin out to prove a point.

I’ve not been bothered about them bringing in the other lads but this certainly is a boost for them.

Get in his face from the off, he will loose it. He's brilliant on his day but he doesn't have enough.
Good signing for Cas but it will be a new partnership, just hope mash knows his best halfes

Think austin for cas is a major game changer and when/if they bring powell in think it does for us.got to give cas credit got rid of deadwood and improved there squad with lads who will come in and bust a gut

Very strange we have let Austin go especially with Myler likely out for the season.
Talk is that Austin been slagging off Hetherington and the club which is not a clever thing to do.
Supporters can do it but not a good idea for employees to do the same.
Maybe we didn`t offer him what he wanted contract wise and he`s spit his dummy out similar to Leeming.
Still a good signing for Cas and leaves us short of options.

I'm not sure it 'does for us'. We've already beaten an Austin led team.
They now have a lot of pivots and both halves are runners but the rest are still pretty weak.

They might have an Austin, but we've got a Fifita.

He will make cas a much stronger team and if they get beat tomorrow last will go and powell will come in again making cas a much stronger team,there first game would be v us at belle vue and when did we last beat cas at belle vue.i hope im wrong but austin going to them makes them along with there other recurits make them so much stronger which as the relagation is between us and them isnt good news for us

I don't disagree that it makes them stronger. I just don't agree that it makes them so much stronger that we are done for.

Sounds like Austin was a bit too honest in a recent podcast and has had a telling off from Uncle Gary.

I'd have sent him to a Championship club!

He did

Tbf ..Austin or not, if we can carry playing like we are then we will be ok imo. We've beaten top teams playing some fantastic rugby , keeping Gale and Jowitt fit and on the field is key for us regardless of who Has have playing . They have a number of players coming who they haven't a clue how they will go.....we are passed that ! Come on Wakey its in our hands

Got told today that Dave's wife (who is still in Aus) is due to have a baby in the next couple of weeks ??
Don't know if he is planning on being there but for our sake's, let's hope not
