But surely that would mean paying Cas some money?

How does a `loan deal` work visa wise? Maybe we could go that route if his visa for Cas still applies to a loan move.

Is there a story about Moa might be staying or is it just on here?

Just thinking about who we could possibly have signed that are in the 6. We presume Crookes is one of them, how about the others? There are a few rumours around:

Crookes
Wildie
Brierley
Walmsley
McDonnell
A.N Other forward?

Would you be happy with that - to compliment Arundel, Ellis, Chase, Brough (maybe) - if we can keep hold of Shrek and maybe Moa then i would be very happy going into next year.

I've said it a millions times, but I honestly don't understand what they see in Jason Crookes? He's shown he's got good pace, but apart from that I haven't seen or heard anything special about him. hopefully he'll prove me wrong.

Im surprised there hasnt being more knowledge of who the other signings are. Seems Crookes is the only one people seem sure of

Look at the ooc list (as I said after some negative comments about Rovers maybe signing Bryn Hargreaves). (Even) You can't pay big fees for or big wages to every player. Some of them will have to be 'value' rather than 'quality' signings. I mean you've got Ellis and almost certainly Chase - you can't expect to replace Will Sharp with Ryan Hall.

I prefer Shaun Ainscouch, great in attack but not so good in defence. Only a young lad with a fantastic try scoring record.

That also could describe Jordan Turner

The thing is of course that sort of exposure like that Chase player profile yesterday can cost you deals when you are trying to keep your cards close to your chest. Look at the Paea deal that was definately happening until it was leaked in the media, then all of a sudden within literally days he's signed a new deal at Catalan. Its not really fair winding the fans up like that on a whim to sell papers or radio shows is it? As I have said before we have had nothing but a sly headline from the Club about chase the rest is coming from Sources the media use, who are believe me very unlikely to be close to Pearson (unless there fed up of their job) and are more likely anyone from people at Cas, to mischief makers at Rovers who knows. We'll have to wait and see.
